I’m not sure what Hershey’s is up to with this one. It’s just a bad idea. There are plenty of good filled candy bars, but I’m not sure I understand how you’d go so wrong with this one.
Inside on the little white cardboard tray is a bar with four square segments of milk chocolate. Inside those is something that looks like Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Which we all know isn’t chocolate, it’s just cocoa/sugar/water. So what you end up with is a very sweet milk chocolate outside and a sickly sweet cardboard tasting sugar goo. It’s messy, it’s sticky.
I hope that this edition is very limited because this bar is just sad and cheap. I ate two out of the four squares and threw the other half out. Don’t get me wrong, I think that Hershey’s makes good product. It’s consistent and fresh and I applaud their use of the “Limited Edition” to try out new flavor combinations, but I’m not sure how this one made it past the test stage. I would also suggest the use of freshness dating.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Maybe you’re supposed to put the whole square in your mouth at once and then bite it, to give a burst of chocolate.
And I never knew that about Hershey’s syrup. I still consider it a great topping for ice cream.
Even breaking it into the little squares caused filling leakage. And it’s syrupy filling that just cling stubbornly.
The center is not a burst of chocolate. It’s a burst of sugary cardboard. Like someone chewed up a toostie roll and stuck it in the center.
I actually think it’s really good. A little too sweet, but good. Maybe you’re just too picky.
Alize, it’s entirely possible it was just a bad bar. No biggie, I’m absolutely enamored of their other limited edition Twosomes Whoppers - so it looks like they’re developing something for everyone.
