S’moresName: S’mores
Brand: Hershey’s Place Purchased: 99 Cent Only Store Price: 33 cents Size: 1.65 oz Calories per ounce: 145 Type: Chocolate Candy/Marshmallow
 To follow up on the earlier review of the Cup-O-Gold I figured I’d contrast that with Hershey’s S’mores bar. The S’mores bar is marshmallow on top of a graham cracker crust covered in chocolate. If you recall the S’mores most of us have made, they were a toasted marshmallow (or two), a few squares of Hershey’s chocolate between two graham crackers. What was great about that combo was that you’d freshly toasted the marshmallow so it was retardedly hot in the middle and of cuorse melted the chocolate and the ratio being the dominance of the graham crackers (which also kept your fingers from being burned). In this bar Hershey’s has the ratios all askew. By far the dominant feature of this bar is the marshmallow center. It’s not a traditional white marshmallow but a slightly tan version that seems a tad nougaty ... perhaps they’re trying to make it taste toasted. Much sweeter than it needed to be and lacked that meringue feeling that a good marshmallow has. There no graham cracker here. Instead the crust seems to be a crisco and cookie bits amalgamation. Then it’s covered in very sweet milk chocolate. Too sweet, not enough toasty flavor and the graham cracker thing was just plain wrong. Move along, nothing to taste here.

Well, maybe they have slightly tan marshmallow to make it *look* campfired.
Too bad about the mix. This could be a good thing, but I guess they opted to make it all with the cheapest of the three ingredients.
That sounds yucky!
They’re ruining the word “S’mores” with that bar!
Actually, I love the Smores bar! it’s actually one of my favorite candy bars on the market. I’m a marshmallow freak and i also love nougat, plus i like things super sweet, so i guess that’s why i love this candy bar so much.
Aw, I love the S’mores bar! Great texture and I love the flavors. I first discovered this bar and the Take 5 bar at the same time, 5-6 months ago. I hadn’t bought Hershey products in a while, and my mind was pretty blown by these two bars.
These S’Mores bars are SO FREAKIN DELICIOUS, that I am salivating all over my feet just thinking about them.
Your grading system is unfair, because everybody’s tastes are vastly different.
Martini
Well, Martini, you pointed out that it’s MY grading system, so of course it’s biased towards MY taste. That’s why the review gives the less biased description of what the candy bar is so that you can decide for yourself if it’s something that you’d like.
Further, this site has comments, so you are not only free to throw your opinion in, but my readers value other people’s thoughts as much as mine.
Plus, a four is not a ‘bad’ review - the rating means ‘benign’ ... as in, “it wouldn’t kill me to eat another one of these.”
One thing I do need to say is that I did get another one recently that was labeled “new great taste” and it was in fact better. I’d give it a 5(pleasant).
I LOVE Hershey’s S’mores candy bars!!! They’re the best candy bar in the world!!! But I can’t eat them anymore coz my school has taken them out of the vending machine and that’s the only place I could buy them from!!! I don’t know what to do!!! Ideas?!?
One of the best candies out there!
Definitely!!!
