These new Hershey's Halloween products are making their debut for 2024 as a series of exclusive sweets for consumers to pick up and hand out on the big night. The products include the new Kit Kat Ghost Toast and Reese's Werewolf Tracks that both use two of the brand's most iconic candies as inspiration for a whole new experience for consumers.
