Hershey’s Double ChocolateName: Hershey’s Double Chocolate
Brand: Hershey’s Place Purchased: Liquor Store (Hollywood) Price: $.85 Size: 1.6 oz Calories per ounce: 131 Type: Chocolate
 I’m not sure what Hershey’s is up to with this one. It’s just a bad idea. There are plenty of good filled candy bars, but I’m not sure I understand how you’d go so wrong with this one. Inside on the little white cardboard tray is a bar with four square segments of milk chocolate. Inside those is something that looks like Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Which we all know isn’t chocolate, it’s just cocoa/sugar/water. So what you end up with is a very sweet milk chocolate outside and a sickly sweet cardboard tasting sugar goo. It’s messy, it’s sticky. I hope that this edition is very limited because this bar is just sad and cheap. I ate two out of the four squares and threw the other half out. Don’t get me wrong, I think that Hershey’s makes good product. It’s consistent and fresh and I applaud their use of the “Limited Edition” to try out new flavor combinations, but I’m not sure how this one made it past the test stage. I would also suggest the use of freshness dating. Rating - 3 out of 10. POSTED BY Cybele AT 2:32 pm 3-Unappealing • Hershey's • Limited Edition • Chocolate • United States • Candy • Review •

Maybe you’re supposed to put the whole square in your mouth at once and then bite it, to give a burst of chocolate.
And I never knew that about Hershey’s syrup. I still consider it a great topping for ice cream.
Even breaking it into the little squares caused filling leakage. And it’s syrupy filling that just cling stubbornly.
The center is not a burst of chocolate. It’s a burst of sugary cardboard. Like someone chewed up a toostie roll and stuck it in the center.
I actually think it’s really good. A little too sweet, but good. Maybe you’re just too picky.
Alize, it’s entirely possible it was just a bad bar. No biggie, I’m absolutely enamored of their other limited edition Twosomes Whoppers - so it looks like they’re developing something for everyone.
