The newly released HERSHEY'S GOLD bar is an absolute dream for consumers with an adventurous sweet tooth. The new product is identified by flavor, texture, and appearance. It is infused with the salty taste of peanuts and pretzels and it embraces the sweet and creamy notes of caramelized creme. This debut is a great example of how the company attempts to push the boundaries of the traditional dessert bar.
For the launch of HERSHEY'S GOLD, the confectionery brand also releases a number of recipes that point out that the new treat can be enjoyed by itself but also in tandem with other ingredients. These dessert dishes include a Golden Swirled Cheesecake and Golden Brownie Truffles. In addition, the HERSHEY'S GOLD bar also seems ideal for movie night as it can be infused to compliment the salty flavor of popcorn.
