Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme

A bar broken in half

Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a candy bar manufactured by The Hershey Company.

Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is a flat, white candy bar containing uniformly-shaped cookie bits similar in taste and texture to an Oreo. It was introduced in 1994.^[1] A king size bar was later released, being the dimensions as the normal bar but thicker. This is one of the few Hershey's chocolates to be sold in the United Kingdom. The standard sized bar has 12 rectangular blocks arranged in a 3X4 grid. Both Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Hershey's Cookies and Creme bars are also included in Hershey's Drops, which are circular candies released in 2010.

Recipe change

The Hershey Company later began to change the ingredients of some of its products in order to replace the relatively expensive cocoa butter with oil substitutes.^[2] As a result, the packaging no longer states that the bar contains white chocolate.
