Hershey's Snack Barz are a type of candy bar made by The Hershey Company. These yummy bars combine crispy rice with soft marshmallow. They are all covered in delicious Hershey's milk chocolate.
Snack Barz were created to be a tasty treat. They offer a mix of textures and flavors in every bite.
Delicious Flavors
Snack Barz first came out in February 2004. When they launched, there were three main flavors to choose from:
- Hershey's Chocolate Creme
- Reese's Peanut Butter
- Hershey's S'mores Marshmallow Creme
Later, in 2005, Hershey's added two more flavors to the Snack Barz family:
- Caramel
- Cookies 'n Creme
How Snack Barz Are Made
Snack Barz are made by The Hershey Company. Each bar has two layers of a mix made from crispy rice and marshmallow.
Between these two crispy layers, there is a creamy marshmallow filling. This creamy part helps the two layers stick together. After being put together, the whole bar is dipped in Hershey's chocolate. Finally, the finished bars are wrapped and put into boxes.
Advertising Snack Barz
When Hershey's Snack Barz were first introduced, they were advertised as a "healthier" candy bar. This meant they were presented as a better choice compared to other traditional candies.
The company highlighted that Snack Barz had no grams of trans fat. They also said the bars were a good source of important nutrients. These included calcium, iron, and "seven essential vitamins." One bar could give you about 15% of the daily recommended amount of these vitamins.
Because of these health claims, The Hershey Company focused its advertising on parents. They wanted to show parents that Snack Barz could be a good snack for their children.
