HERSHEY'S MR. GOODBAR Chocolate with Peanuts XL, Candy Bar, 4.4 oz (16 Pieces)
What You Should Know
HERSHEY'S MR. GOODBAR Chocolate with Peanuts XL is a familiar fixture of American candy culture: a midpriced, mass-market chocolate bar built around a simple promise — milk chocolate studded with crunchy peanuts. You’ll commonly find it in the candy and seasonal aisle of supermarkets, endcaps and checkout lanes alongside other Hershey confections, chocolate bars, and peanut-based treats, and often in holiday bins for Halloween, Valentine’s Day and Easter. It’s positioned as a nostalgic, everyday indulgence: a heritage Hershey product marketed to broad demographics who want an affordable, shareable sweet — families, kids, office snackers and anyone chasing comfort food memories. The wrapper is the iconic bright yellow with bold branding; the XL format is marketed as shareable or suitable for snacking and baking. Label claims are modest — no organic or natural certification — and the packaging emphasizes flavor and size rather than health. In plain processing terms, the bar is an industrially made confection composed of refined sugar, milk derivatives, vegetable oils, emulsifiers and flavorings: an engineered sweet rather than a simple homemade chocolate. Sensory experience centers on contrasts: a smooth, sweet milk chocolate matrix punctuated by roasted, crunchy peanuts; the bar is scored into pieces for snapping, wrapped in a single-use printed film; eaten straight from the wrapper, chilled, or broken into baking chips. Rituals include popping a segment during a movie, sharing pieces at a party, or melting bits to finish a dessert — comfort-first, portable, and unabashedly indulgent.

Common Questions about HERSHEY'S MR. GOODBAR Chocolate with Peanuts XL, Candy Bar, 4.4 oz (16 Pieces)
Well, that depends on your definition of healthy! Mr. Goodbar is definitely a tasty treat, but it's on the higher side of sugar and fat, so it's more of an indulgence than a health food. If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up or a sweet reward, it fits the bill, just keep in mind it’s not a daily staple for a balanced diet.
