Were you disappointed when Hershey’s discontinued Oat Made Chocolate? Did you buy every last bar they had at Target? Don’t worry, we won’t tell. But I do have good news. It’s back! And this time, it appears to be for good. The test market went well, so they’ve rereleased one variety. But it has a new name. Say hello to Hershey’s Plant Based Chocolate. These dairy-free Hershey’s bars were technically announced earlier in the year, but are finally in stores!
Hershey’s Goes Dairy Free with Milky Plant Based Chocolate Bars
Based on the ingredients and nutrition facts, Hershey’s Plant Based Chocolate appears to be identical to their Oat Made chocolate, just rebranded. It was probably a good move, since the milkiness comes from both oat and rice flours. It isn’t really an oatmilk chocolate. Nevertheless, they’ve touted it as a sweet and creamy copycat of classic Hershey’s chocolate bars. Thus far, they’ve only released the Almond & Sea Salt variety of dairy-free Hershey’s, but we hope the Classic milky chocolate variety will soon follow.
