Hershey’s Introduces Its First Vegan Candy Bars

Designed for vegans and those looking to cut out dairy, Hershey’s two new dairy-free confections harness the power of oats to give these plant-based treats their familiar milky texture. Reese's Plant Based Peanut Butter Cups will include two peanut butter cups with a familiar peanut butter interior coated in an “oat chocolate confection” exterior. Hershey's Plant Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt, on the other hand, will satisfy your Hershey’s nostalgia in the form of a traditional bar of Hershey’s milk chocolate rectangles, flecked with crunchy almonds and sea salt. These chocolates are everything you love about milk chocolate, minus the milk.
