Discovering Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme

This candy bar is known for its flat, white creme base. It has many small, evenly shaped chocolate cookie bits mixed throughout. A standard bar usually has 12 rectangular blocks. These are arranged in a 3x4 pattern, perfect for breaking off and sharing.

Sweet Variations and Special Treats

Hershey's has created several exciting versions of the Cookies 'n' Creme bar. For those who love a bigger treat, there's an XL variant. This bar is thicker and has 16 blocks in a 4x4 grid. There's also a Giant version, which is even thicker and has 25 blocks in a 5x5 grid.

In 2010, Hershey's introduced similar candies called Hershey's Drops. These were small, bite-sized pieces of Cookies 'n' Creme. In 2020, new related candy bars were released in Canada. These included Strawberries 'N' Creme and Cookies 'N' Mint. Strawberries 'N' Creme was actually a re-release from 2005.

A Patriotic Wrapper

To celebrate the July 4th holiday, Hershey's released a special edition. This version of the Cookies 'n' Creme bar came in a unique red, white, and blue wrapper. This special packaging was also used again for Independence Day in 2021. The wrapper design itself has changed over time. It went from being all white to a cream color with blue details on the sides. Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is also one of the few Hershey's chocolate products sold in the United Kingdom.

What's Inside: A Recipe Story

In 2008, The Hershey Company made a change to the recipe for some of its products. They decided to use different vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is usually found in white chocolate. Because of this change, the packaging no longer says that the bar contains "white chocolate." It's still a delicious white creme candy, just made with slightly different ingredients.
