Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a candy bar manufactured by The Hershey Company and first introduced in 1994.[1]
Product variations[edit]
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a flat, white crème candy bar containing small, uniformly-shaped cookie bits. The standard-sized bar has 12 rectangular blocks arranged in a 3X4 grid.[2] The XL variant of the bar is thicker than the original and has 16 rectangular blocks arranged in a 4X4 grid. Similar Cookies 'n' Creme candies manufactured by Hershey were released as Hershey's Drops in 2010.[3] In 2020, Hershey’s released new related candy bars in Canada: Strawberries ‘N’ Creme (a re-release from 2005) and Cookies ‘N’ Mint.[4]
In celebration of the July 4th holiday, Hershey introduced a special variation of their Cookies ‘N’ Creme product, featuring a distinctive red, white, and blue wrapper. This commemorative edition was repeated in honor of Independence Day in 2021. Notably, the packaging underwent a transformation from its original all-white design to a cream-colored appearance, adorned with subtle blue accents along the packaging's sides.[5] It is worth noting that Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme holds a unique position as one of the select Hershey's chocolate offerings available for purchase in the United Kingdom.
Recipe change[edit]
In 2008, The Hershey Company changed the ingredients of some of its products in order to replace the relatively expensive cocoa butter with oil substitutes.[6] As a result, the packaging no longer states that the bar contains white chocolate.[7]
Ingredients[edit]
The ingredients include sugar, vegetable oil (cocoa butter, palm oil, shea oil, and sunflower and/or safflower oil), nonfat milk, corn syrup solids, enriched wheat flour (flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid), milkfat, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean and/or cottonseed oil). It also contains 2% or less of: cocoa processed with alkali, whey (milk), chocolate, soy lecithin, high-fructose corn syrup, sodium bicarbonate, salt, natural and artificial flavor, tocopherols (to maintain freshness), PGPR, emulsifier, and caramel color.[8]
