Ah Hershey’s, that old American classic that hardly anyone outside America likes, and yet will still get defended to the death. I generally stay away from it wherever possible, but I figure that eventually I’d have to review their stuff, and this has the potential to actually be good, methinks.

I can only see this being good if the almonds are overpowering, and the bar does have a decent amount of them, 86% milk chocolate, hence 14% almonds. The bar is made in Mexico and the ingredients are translated approximately one hundred times on the back, so this bar gets around a bit. Hershey actually have an International Division based in Surrey too, so why they don’t actually release their stuff here properly as opposed to importing for a high price tag makes little sense to me.

Anywho, in terms of shape and layout, this bar is identical to the Cookies ‘n’ Creme bar and the Cookies ‘n’ Chocolate bar. Once again I split the bar in half and turned one upside down to show how the nuts are in here. The bar’s extremely thin so the fact that they show up isn’t exactly a surprise though.

What is a surprise though, is that this bar…well…tastes quite nice actually. I hate to admit it, but I actually enjoyed eating it. It was more a case of I devoured it actually due to the easy devouring nature of this bar (it’s set out to have those blocks eaten in groups of 3 rather than 1 little rectangle each). It’s not a great bar, and my teeth ached a bit afterward, but I’ve got to admit, I did enjoy it. I doubt I’d get it again, but you can do so much worse than this, and in terms of the Hershey’s range itself, I’m not sure how much better you could do.
