Hershey’s Black Cherry and Almond Chocolate

A Hershey’s milk chocolate bar studded with black cherry bits and almonds was obtained by wandering the Rite-Aid-esque aisles in Canada recently. Sure I already know what the Hershey’s milk chocolate and milk chocolate bar with almonds tastes like (I’ve had s’mores after all) but what happens with black cherries are added to the mix? And does the French on the wrapper make it somehow fancier?


Packaging
I liked the imagery that the packaging invoked and the whimsical (yet required French) just made it all that more appealing. Also I like cherry flavored anything, so I have got to try this! The wrapper foil is rather thin, so avoiding heat at all is the best way to get the most out of this chocolate candy.

Appearance
From the front, they pieces are broken up into classic Hershey rectangles, the back looks like the Hershey with almonds back with smaller pieces. When broken apart, you can see the almond bits and cherry chunks.

Taste
The milk chocolate was really soft and not as smooth as I would have liked. It kinda stuck on my tongue. The black cherries are overpowering in this chocolate candy bar, especially since the almonds are not whole almonds, but almond halves (or so it would seem). The cherry bits are dried and therefore get stuck in my teeth long after the chocolate and almond is gone. I like cherry flavored anything, but in this instance it’s an overly sweet and like drinking a chunky cherry Icee.
