Hershey’s Halloween Candy Review & Giveaway

Hershey's logo

It’s not a secret that I love chocolate!  I was excited to have the opportunity to review some fun Halloween treats from Hershey’s!  I received 2 bags of the Hershy’s Halloween Miniatures and a bag of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins – way cute!  Hershey’s goal was to put the “treat” in “trick-or-treat” and I believe they succeeded in just that.

Hershey's Assorted Candies

I loved the variety of flavors and cute wrappers in the bag of Hershey’s Miniatures!!  It included Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Krackle, and Mr. Goodbar.  My boys loved the Black Candies (the Milk Chocolate with the black wrappers that had white ghosts on them).  What a fun and yummy way to brighten up your trick-or-treaters’ pumpkins this Halloween!!

Hershey's Pumpkins

I also loved the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins.  I loved the purple wrappers and thought it was very creative that they were in the shape of pumpkins!  Now, here is a tip – put them in the freezer and they are so good!  These again are great treats to give those princesses and superheroes this Halloween!  **Note – they do contain peanut butter for those who have peanut allergies.**

Thanks to Hershey’s, 1 lucky reader will win a bag of Hershey’s Miniatures on The Mommy-Files!!!

    for decorating: “scatter or pile dried leaves in corners around the house to bring the outdoors “in” for an unexpected but unique party look.”

    never thought of that before, sounds like a cute idea!

    “Scatter or pile dried leaves in corners around the house to bring the outdoors “in” for an unexpected but unique party look.” EWWWW. Dead bugs, cat pee, um, i think i’ll skip this tip, thank you. LOL.
    Instead, ask guests to BYOB ( bring your own bat- paper cutouts or plastic dollar store type) which i use as additional decoration.
