Press Release:
Nine out of 10 people hand out snack-size candy, so Hershey has introduced new assortments of its snack-size treats dressed in themed shapes and colorful wrappers that will have Trick-Or-Treaters howling for more. From pumpkin-shaped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to assorted Hershey's Miniatures in festive foils, Hershey treats offer something for every ghost, ghoul and goblin celebrating the season. Plus, Hershey is helping Trick-Or-Treaters satisfy their sweet tooth through an insider's guide to which houses will hand out their favorite Hershey treats this Halloween.
Trick-Or-Treating Tricks of the Trade
To help Trick-Or-Treaters map their routes this Halloween, Hershey conducted a national survey to find out which houses were handing out their favorite Hershey treats. Following are some "tricks" to increase the odds of receiving desired "treats."
- Houses with black shutters are 77 percent more likely to hand out Kit Kat Wafer Bars and Trick-Or-Treaters have a 37 percent greater chance of scaring up a Kit Kat Wafer Bar from a ranch house.
- Reese's Peanut Butter Cup lovers should forego ranch houses and opt instead to ring the bell of two-story houses where they'll have a 26 percent greater chance of receiving the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
- Knock on brown doors if seeking Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars. Trick-Or-Treaters have a 32 percent greater chance of receiving a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar from homes with brown doors.
'Boo-tiful' Candy Decor
Hershey also helps celebrate the season with treats adorned in festive foils to spruce-up home and office candy dishes. Debuting are Halloween Hershey's Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates and Halloween Reese's Miniatures Milk and Dark Chocolate Assortment, each individually wrapped in orange and black foils. Also new is Halloween Hershey's Miniatures in purple, lime green, orange and black wrappers, adding a frightfully fun touch to seasonal decor.
Putting the 'Treat' in Trick-Or-Treat
Add a twist on a classic favorite with new Snack Size Hershey's Kisses brand milk chocolates. For the first time in its 102-year history, the iconic chocolate treat is available in Trick-Or-Treat packages each containing three individually wrapped Hershey's Kisses chocolates. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the most popular Hershey candy given to Trick-Or-Treaters, introduces bags of Snack Size Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Chocolate and peanut butter lovers can now enjoy this perfectly tasty combination in festive-shaped, snack-size treats.
