Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ MintName: Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Mint
Brand: Hershey’s Place Purchased: Liquor Store (Hollywood) Price: $.85 Size: 1.55 oz Calories per ounce: 142 Type: Chocolate/Mint
 I love these bars. Well, I did when they first came out. The thing is, I’m not sure they’re out now. I checked the Hershey’s site and didn’t find any mention of the Cookies ‘n’ Mint being reintroduced ... so is this a very old bar? It was certainly dusty. (Again, I’d love it if Hershey’s started putting freshness dates on their products.) While they’re at it, the packaging is a little deceiving - it’s milk chocolate, not some sort of green stuff like the picture shows. That aside, when these were out and widely available I preferred the ”nuggets” format. I don’t know why, but the flat bar didn’t make the crunchy parts sing as well. I think the surface area isn’t good for the chocolate either, I think it makes it all more prone to temperature changes. But I digress. This is a minted milk chocolate bar with small chocolate cookie bits (think of the cookie part of an oreo crumbled into minty chocolate). It’s a great combination. I think the crunch provides a nice contrast, and the fact that the cookie isn’t terribly sweet offsets the sweetness of the milk chocolate. I hope this bar gets reintroduced or at least the nuggets will be available for a limited time every year. If you like this bar, I suggest the Harry London Cookie Joys as an excellent substitute. Rating: 8 out of 10 (would be more if the bar were fresher) UPDATE: See my Cookie Joys and Cookies ‘n’ Mint Nuggets head to head post.

I like these two. A great Halloween candy in the nugget size. One of the better mass produced chocolates.
I really hope they at least bring back the nuggets every fall.
They’re back!!!! YUMMY~ Just ordered a box myself...actually 2 of them. Don’t care if they go straight to my thighs or my butt either!
Yes, Cookies ‘n’ Mint is definitely back on the shelves. Yesssss.
By the way, I like your blog. It’s great!
I haven’t had this newer mint bar, but used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the original version in the 1990s, the Hershey’s Chocolate Mint bar. If I can find this newer one, I will certainly buy it. Why can’t Hershey offer these online or something? I mean isn’t mint chocolate ice cream a popular flavor? I don’t like the regular Hershey’s bar… too sweet and not chocolatey enough. The Cadbury milk chocolate bar is much better for plain chocolate. The original Mint Hershey’s bar was awesome. Very chocolately, minty with great crunchy bits. It also came in a big, ,thick chunkier version.
This site is a lot of fun very well designed. [promotional text removed by admin]
I have procurred a box of these delicious candy bars. I’m willing to part w/ them for $4.50 per bar. Email me if interested soon, b/c they probably wont last long, if you know what I mean. I can’t help myself; they taste so good.

Shirley - Would you mind sharing the code on the back of the package?
Hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone knew what happened to the nuggets of hersheys...they were white..and had red and green specks in them from christmas and they were very good...and they were minty...anyone know? because i really have been craving them and i think they were limited edition or something...if anyone knows something send me an email at or thanks
Tay - Hershey’s brought back the White Chocolate and Specks at Christmas this year in a Mint Miniatures Mix (limited edition) - it was mixed in with minted milk chocolate and mint special dark bars.
However, you might find the Candy Cane Kisses are really what you’re looking for - it’s a white chocolate with mint flavoring to it and little nonpariels in it. Look sharp as they were also a holiday limited edition item.
You maybe be able to find them on eBay.
