Consumer Critique: Hershey's Halloween

According to a recent survey, over 50% of adults still dress up. Thirty percent of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Kit Kat and Milk Chocolate Bar lovers will be a vampire, witch or monster; 41% of Twizzlers fans plan to dress up from different eras of the 20th century; and 23% of Jolly Rancher lovers will be a superhero. The most popular Hershey’s candies given to trick-or-treaters are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (43%), Kit Kat® Wafer Bars (40%), Hershey®’s Milk Chocolate Bars (37%) and Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates (27%). (Now you know what to stock up on to be the cool house.)

If you're looking for some new treats this year, check out the new options from Hershey's:
– Twizzlers® Assortment 120 Snack Size Pieces (Mini Bars Candy Strawberry, Pull n’ Peel Candy Wildberry and Pull n’ Peel Candy Green Apple)
– Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Crème Jumbo Bag Snack Size Treats
– Hershey’s Chocolate Assortment with 100 Snack Size Pieces (two different collections available)

There are some other fun Halloween-themed treats too. You can buy orange Kit Kat bars, Reese's peanut butter pumpkins (these are some of my favorite!), York peppermint patties in pumpkin shape, a York "peppermint batty," Seasonal Shapes Assortment (peanut butter pumpkins and cookies n creme or milk chocolate tombstones), and candy corn flavored Hershey Kisses.

If you're like me and you haven't yet decided what you're going to dress up as (or if you're going to dress up), check out Celebrate with Hershey's for craft and costume ideas. There you'll also find more information about seasonal treats, fun decorating tips and wallpaper, recipes, and even some classroom resources (coloring pages, classroom decorations, and more).
