Discovering Different Types of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme
Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a flat, white candy bar. It has small, crunchy chocolate cookie bits mixed into the sweet white creme.
- Standard Bar: The regular size bar has 12 rectangular blocks. These are set up in a 3x4 pattern.
- XL Bar: The XL version is thicker than the original. It has 16 rectangular blocks in a 4x4 pattern.
- Giant Bar: This one is much thicker than the XL bar. It features 25 rectangular blocks in a 5x5 pattern.
- Hershey's Drops: In 2010, Hershey's also released small, round candies called Hershey's Drops. They have the same Cookies 'n' Creme flavor.
In 2020, Hershey's introduced new candy bars in Canada. These included Strawberries 'N' Creme, which was a re-release from 2005, and Cookies 'N' Mint.
For the July 4th holiday, Hershey's created a special edition. This version of the Cookies 'N' Creme bar had a unique red, white, and blue wrapper. This special wrapper was also used for Independence Day in 2021. The packaging also changed from its original all-white look. It now has a cream color with light blue designs on the sides. Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is one of the few Hershey's chocolate products you can buy in the United Kingdom.
How the Recipe Changed
In 2008, The Hershey Company updated the ingredients in some of its products. They replaced expensive cocoa butter with other oils. Because of this change, the packaging no longer says the bar contains white chocolate.
