Product variations
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a flat, white crème candy bar containing small, uniformly-shaped cookie bits. The standard-sized bar has 12 rectangular blocks arranged in a 3X4 grid. The XL variant of the bar is thicker than the original and has 16 rectangular blocks arranged in a 4X4 grid. Similar Cookies 'n' Creme candies manufactured by Hershey were released as Hershey's Drops in 2010. In 2020, Hershey’s released new related candy bars in Canada: Strawberries ‘N’ Creme (a re-release from 2005) and Cookies ‘N’ Mint.
In celebration of the July 4th holiday, Hershey introduced a special variation of their Cookies ‘N’ Creme product, featuring a distinctive red, white, and blue wrapper. This commemorative edition was repeated in honor of Independence Day in 2021. Notably, the packaging underwent a transformation from its original all-white design to a cream-colored appearance, adorned with subtle blue accents along the packaging's sides. It is worth noting that Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme holds a unique position as one of the select Hershey's chocolate offerings available for purchase in the United Kingdom.
Recipe change
In 2008, The Hershey Company changed the ingredients of some of its products in order to replace the relatively expensive cocoa butter with oil substitutes. As a result, the packaging no longer states that the bar contains white chocolate.
Ingredients
The ingredients include sugar, vegetable oil (cocoa butter, palm oil, shea oil, and sunflower and/or safflower oil), nonfat milk, corn syrup solids, enriched wheat flour (flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, and folic acid), milkfat, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean and/or cottonseed oil). It also contains 2% or less of: cocoa processed with alkali, whey (milk), chocolate, soy lecithin, high-fructose corn syrup, sodium bicarbonate, salt, natural and artificial flavor, tocopherols (to maintain freshness), PGPR, emulsifier, and caramel color.
