ONE Brands' protein-packed ONE Bars are beloved for sharing decadent flavors with minimal sugar and in collaboration with The Hershey Company, the brand is introducing two all-new bars inspired by iconic sweet treats. The ONE Reese’s Peanut Butter Lovers flavor and the ONE Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme flavor are both protein bars with 18 grams of protein and three grams of sugar.
While there are many peanut butter- and cookie-flavored protein bars on the market, consumers are often concerned with flavor accuracy, texture consistency and overall palatability—but these two new bars banish worries about chalkiness, crumbly formulas or artificial aftertastes.
These ONE Brands bars with familiar flavors feed into The Hershey Company's better-for-you strategy, created to support consumers wherever they are in their journey.
