Hershey: an Irishman's journey for America's chocolate counterpart: Part 1

A year Ago, Cadbury was bought by the Cheese company Kraft. Kraft, already has Milka and Hershey in its portfolio. This year Hershey made its way to Irish shelves with no fanfare whatsoever. So as a long overdue sequel to Cadbury month, here is Part 1 of 2, though we only have so much product so far.

The signature brand is the foil wrapped Hershey Brand, much like Our Dairy Milk, the bar is segmented into squares, only flatter. Appearing in 1894, created in Hershey, PA along with an almond flavour. in time dark and white version where made. Hershey is known for its "Hershey process" a trade secret for its unique taste. However its widely believed that the milk is lipolyzed, a process where fat is broken down by acid. its what increases its shelf life as considered to give it's unique sour taste.
Its flavours are
  • Plain
  • almonds
  • Special dark
  • cookies and creme (white)
  • Pure dark
Hershey's kisses
Teardrop-shaped chocolate wrapped in foil created in 1907. Named after the sound the machine made when one was created.
all the above flavours are available in this form.
