Hershey: Care in Every Bite.
Each ingredient earns its place.
Care in Every Bite
At Hershey, we care about making snacks and treats people love. To us, quality is care that you can see, experience, and enjoy in every bite you bring home. And we want to be sure that’s reflected in each decision we make, at every step.
Because care in every bite means that each of our snacks and treats lives up to its promise, whether it's the milk chocolate you expect from our classic Hershey's chocolate bar or Kisses, the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese’s cup, the satisfying crunch of whole grain popcorn in SkinnyPop, or the creamy chocolate and unmistakable crisp of a KitKat.
Recipes made with care, ingredients that earn their place, snacks and treats that deliver what you love—that’s our promise.
Every Ingredient in a Hershey Recipe Has a Purpose
Whether it’s there for flavor, for how it feels when you bite into it, or to keep your favorites fresh from batch to batch, every ingredient earns its place. From roasting raw peanuts for Reese's to using fresh milk from nearby farms for our classic Hershey’s chocolate bars, we make sure every ingredient we choose lives up to your tastes and preferences.
Being thoughtful about our ingredients also means always listening to you and looking for ways to deliver what you’re looking for. So as tastes evolve, so do our recipes, making sure your favorite treats meet your moment - like helping those reaching for plant-based or organic options find them in treats from some of our most beloved brands like Reese’s and Hershey’s.
The Perfect Combination of Chocolate and Peanut Butter
Our tried-and-true recipe for the iconic Reese's cup never changed: freshly roasted peanuts combined with milk chocolate, made right here in Hershey, Pennsylvania, down the road in Stuart’s Draft, Virginia and other communities around the world.
Each Ingredient Earns Its Place
You’ll always be able to easily see clear, straightforward explanations of what’s in our beloved recipes like the classic Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar and Reese’s cup and why, such as:
Milk Ingredients
What we mean: Ingredients derived from milk, including milk fat and milk solids, such as milk, cream, butter, and skim milk, as permitted under U.S. FDA standards of identity.
Why we use it: To create the creamy texture and full flavor of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate.
Fun Fact: In the early 1900s, Milton S. Hershey chose central Pennsylvania and its many dairy farms to supply fresh, fluid milk for his company.
