NutRageous is a yummy chocolate bar made by The Hershey Company. It's packed with creamy Reese's Peanut Butter, crunchy roasted peanuts, and gooey caramel. All of these tasty ingredients are covered in a delicious chocolate coating.
What is NutRageous?
The NutRageous candy bar first came out in 1994. It was created to be a new treat inspired by the popular Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Before it was released, the candy bar was actually called Acclaim. However, its name was changed to "NutRageous." This happened because groups of people, especially kids, liked the name "NutRageous" more.
In 2014, the candy bar got a new name in some countries. It was called "Nut Bar" outside of the United States. At that time, the size of the bar also became a little smaller. It went from 51 grams to 47 grams.
Different Kinds of NutRageous
In May 2018, Hershey's released a new version of the candy bar. It was called "Reese's Outrageous." This new bar was similar to the original NutRageous. However, instead of roasted peanuts, it had crunchy Reese's Pieces inside.
