Trump MAGA bars: Made with sweet milk chocolate, caramel, & cashews, and blended with SJW snowflake tears.

“My wife and I were chatting recently and this topic came up: When was the last time either of use remembered a new candy bar being released. I had no idea and wifey didn’t either. Glad to something exciting happening in candyland.”

Everyone likes the old standards; Reese’s, Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfingers.

I’m not a huge fan of candy (made it through Halloween with not a bite of candy), but crave good chocolate once in awhile. We have a DG in our little town so I will look for that the next time I feel like chocolate.

Thanks for sharing!

I make, what I call, birds’ nests. I put the chow mein noodles in the melted chocolate and scoop them out and let them cool. They are wonderful and so easy to make! Sometimes I put mini marshmallows in them too.

Hersheys candies are the equivalent of McDonalds is to burgers.

Hershey chocolate is too sweet.

Lindt is far better.

Re: “They moved their plant to Mexico.”

They moved their quality control to Mexico, too.

I used to eat a large (4+ ounces) Chocolate Almond bar every day - for decades.

Then Hershey started messing with the ingredients. The original big bar had a very dark chocolate with great taste and a crisp texture. They replaced that with a cheaper and softer brown chocolate that is clearly inferior.

Then they started reducing the number almonds in each bar, and reducing, and reducing. The new bars have like 60%-70% fewer almonds.

Then they started raising the price, and raising, and raising.

I stopped buying them about a year ago.

I’ve never been a fan of Hershey’s chocolate - it’s chalky and bitter. There are so many better American and European chocolates around. I won’t be trying this new thing from Hershey’s either.

I was not aware of that until one of their chocolates made me sick.

No idea what “changed” in Mexico but I cannot stomach their products now...literally.

I liked the new thicker Hershey bar with a tan wrapper. I forget the name but I don't see it on the shelf anymore. I thought that one was new?
