This past holiday season, Pizza Hut introduced the Hershey’s Hot Chocolate Brownie to its dessert menu. Pizza Hut has a long history of teaming up with the chocolate brand to create decadent desserts such as the Hershey’s Chocolate Dunkers, the Ultimate Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Cookie, and the Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie. One of the most recent Hershey’s treats drew inspiration from a classic winter drink to create a warm brownie treat.
The Hershey’s Hot Chocolate Brownie was added to the Pizza Hut menu last November for a limited time. The dessert consisted of a freshly baked Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie made from Hershey's Cocoa, Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips and Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. The brownie was then topped with Hershey's Chocolate Syrup and a layer of toasted mini marshmallows. By drawing inspiration from the hot cocoa drinks enjoyed during the holiday season, the dessert was meant to help Pizza Hut add a festive twist to its menu.
