More people are becoming health-conscious each year. They are moving away from sugary foods and drinks. Instead, many seek healthier snack options at home.
In a surprising move, Hershey is joining this trend. The iconic candy company has introduced a healthier treat to its lineup.
Under its protein bar brand ONE, Hershey has released a new chocolate bar that is high in protein and low in sugar.
Hershey has offered protein bars before through ONE. But this new bar combines Hershey’s rich chocolate taste with the nutritious ingredients of the ONE brand.
Called the Hershey’s Double Chocolate bar, it contains 18 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. It uses real cocoa supplied by Hershey. This bar aims to be a perfect mid-day snack, with fewer calories than Hershey’s traditional candy products.
According to Allrecipes, the Double Chocolate bar is already available in select stores nationwide. Hershey plans to expand its availability soon.
This product joins other health-focused items from Hershey, including the popular ONE Cookes ‘n’ Creme protein bars and ONE Reese’s Peanut Butter Lovers protein bars.
ONE has also attracted attention with other sweet-flavored protein bars not directly linked to Hershey’s classic candies. Some popular flavors include birthday cake, peanut butter cup, chocolate chip cookie dough, s’mores, and maple glazed donut.
