New Hershey’s Easter candy is hopping with extra sweetness

The Easter bunny will be bringing overflowing baskets this year because the new Hershey’s Easter candy offers so many tasty treats. While there is a slight theme to all these new candies, it is impossible to resist them all. Ready to get hopping towards something delicious?

During the Easter holiday, a few themes seem to emerge. Whether it is those iconic Reese’s eggs or even that Cadbury Crème Egg (with its four-legged spokesperson), the reality is that Easter and candy go hand in hand.

Still, the Easter bunny often looks for new treats to fill the basket. Luckily, Hershey’s has found the perfect balance between familiar and new.

As Briant Giles, Manager of the Easter season said, “Families can always look to Hershey to provide iconic treats for their Easter baskets, but also to find something new in the candy aisle for the season.” From eggs and bunnies to Hershey’s Kisses, everyone might need a bigger basket.

While eggs and bunnies are usually the theme for Easter candy, another concept hopped into the conversation this year. Cookies ‘N’ Crème is the flavor of springtime. Whether it is the sweeter taste or the ability to add springtime colors to the mix, it is time to see the light.

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Polka Dot Bunnies

Move over milk chocolate bunnies. The new Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Crème Polka Dot Bunnies make a statement on that dessert table. While both young and old love that flavor, it is the pink, purple and blue cookie pieces that will have people talking. This Easter bunny wants to be the center of the attention.

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Polka Dot Eggs

Adding some extra egg-citement to the mix, the Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Polka Dot Eggs are similar to the bigger bunny, but in a more snackable size. Wrapped in pretty pink and blue polka dot foils, the design entices people to unwrap and enjoy the treat inside.

Although many people will happily display these candies in a bowl, they lend themselves to some creative holiday desserts. For example, consider creating a little chocolate brownie cup with the colorful speckled egg inside. Basically, this colorful and sweet treat has numerous ways to enjoy it.

Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates with Vanilla Frosting Flavored Crème

In what might be the most talked about new Hershey’s Easter candy offering, the Hershey’s Kissed Milk Chocolates with Vanilla Frosting Crème is a huge game changer. While Hershey’s has been pushing the flavor envelope with its Kisses, this one might be the best one yet.

While the classic Hershey’s milk chocolate is forward, it is the sweet center that entices. It is almost like the perfect little bite of that chocolate cake and vanilla icing flavor combination. Still a touch sweet, it could be the candy to satisfy that dessert craving without having to bake.

Given that Hershey’s Kisses are often used in baking, it will be interesting to see how this new candy sparks some creativity in the kitchen. While those Blossom Cookies are always a great choice, there could be a way to make these Kisses the center of a baked treat. Just think of the possibilities.

Whoppers Bunny Tails

Bunny Tails have been an Easter trend and the new Whoppers Bunny Tails bring the smiles in a convenient way. With all that classic malt flavor inside, the vanilla crème outside brings the sweetness.

Even though many people will want to enjoy some by the handful, these Whoppers Bunny Tails could be tasty with a salty “friend.” It is another reason to put on the creative culinary hat and see what creations come out of the kitchen.

In addition to the new Hershey’s Easter candy, favorites like the Cadbury Mini Eggs, Cadbury Crème Eggs and Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs will return to shelves. The Easter bunny will be hopping to fill that basket to the brim.
