HERSHEY'S Cookies 'n' Creme XL, Candy Bar, 4 oz (16 Pieces)
What You Should Know
HERSHEY'S Cookies 'n' Creme XL is an extra‑large, single‑serve candy bar that you’ll most often find in the candy aisle, by checkout lanes, and on seasonal endcaps alongside other chocolate bars, Halloween bags, and bulk novelty candies. It’s also a fixture in convenience stores and vending machines near soft drinks and salty snacks. This bar suits impulse purchases for movie nights, road trips, classroom treats, and holiday candy bowls — or as a quick sweet bite between errands. As an iconic mass‑market Hershey’s product, it trades on broad American familiarity and childhood nostalgia, marketed toward families, kids and millennials looking for comforting, shareable treats. Packaging leans playful and recognizable, scored into sections for easy breaking and sharing. Labeling leans into indulgence rather than health: the product description highlights creamy white “creme” and crunchy cookie pieces, and the ingredient list contains sugar, corn syrup solids, vegetable oil blends, emulsifiers and “natural & artificial flavors.” The bar is described as kosher but carries no organic or whole‑food claims; typical nutrition callouts show it is calorie‑dense and high in sugars (for example: 140 calories, 13 g sugars, 70 mg sodium per listed serving). In plain terms, this is a highly processed confections item made from refined sugars, multiple vegetable oils, flours and additives like PGPR and lecithin. Sensory notes: very sweet, smooth white‑creme matrix studded with crunchy chocolate cookie bits, with a snap when broken along the scored segments; packaged for grab‑and‑go sharing or portioning into recipes and baked‑good toppers. Rituals around it include sharing at parties, tucking into lunchboxes, and using pieces to decorate cupcakes and brownies.
