Hershey's deleted the almonds and only recently went to the mockolate product. (I loved the bar when it had real chocolate on it.) The fake chocolate is actually a real chocolate base that has tropical oils added (just like some British chocolate that's still allowed to be called chocolate). The difference between it and the Crispy Crunchy is that the Reese's bar has some crushed peanuts in it (and supposedly real chocolate but it's only marginally better).
