The Hershey Company revealed two plant-based options to provide milk chocolate alternatives at a time when plant-based snacks are gaining ground.
The company has announced Reese’s Plant Based Peanut Butter Cups, and Hershey’s Plant Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt. The Reese's product will be available this month, followed by the Hershey's chocolate bar in April.
"We are excited to introduce these delicious, plant-based options," said Teal Liu, brand manager of better for you at The Hershey Company, in a statement. "Our purpose is to create more moments of goodness for consumers. Those moments are now more accessible for chocolate lovers looking for plant-based alternatives."
To meet the changing needs of snackers, Hershey's has delivered alternative options including portion-controlled treats, no sugar added, zero sugar, high protein, and now plant based, according to the company.
