The Symphony chocolate bar is a yummy treat made by The Hershey Company. It's known for being extra creamy! While it uses the same ingredients as regular Hershey's chocolate, like cocoa butter and chocolate, these are mixed in different amounts to make it super smooth.

The Symphony bar first came out in 1989 and is still a favorite today. It's different from the original milk chocolate recipe that Milton Hershey created way back in 1894.

The name "Symphony" was chosen because eating this chocolate is supposed to be as delightful to your taste buds as beautiful music is to your ears!

How the Symphony Bar Started

Developing a Creamier Chocolate

Hershey's started working on the Symphony bar in 1984. They wanted to create a new kind of chocolate that was extra creamy.

Before it was sold everywhere, the Symphony bar was first tested in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was made for an older audience, including grown-ups who enjoy fancy treats.

The Symphony bar was also tested in China. It was the most popular out of nine different products Hershey's tried there.

Catchy Slogans and Flavors

When the Symphony bar was first introduced, its advertisements often featured classical music. The catchy slogan was: "There will never be another unfinished Symphony."

The Symphony bar came out with two main types:

  • The Milk Chocolate version, which is sometimes called the "plain" one.
  • The Milk Chocolate with Almonds and Toffee version, which has crunchy almonds and sweet toffee pieces mixed in.
