How were Hershey’s seasonal candy sales? What’s going on with the company’s expansion into the snacking category? Why are they releasing a revamped sugar-free candy line?

While it may be true that all you need is love, a little Hershey’s chocolate never hurts. The candy maker has launched some new treats to help everyone celebrate Valentine’s Day this year.

For The Hershey Co., the decision to participate in something like #BlackOutTuesday on social media would normally go through multiple committees. But 2020 inspired a different approach.

It’s hard to imagine that a country navigating a pandemic is going to send its children to collect candy from a bunch of strangers this year.

Halloween is very likely to be impacted by a world still grappling with COVID-19 — but Hershey is optimistic about the upcoming holiday.

Consumers are baking at home more, but they’re also reaching for fewer mints during the coronavirus pandemic.

DC Comics and Hershey, two iconic brands, are joining forces to create the Super Hero Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar, featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

“There were weeks there, we were getting calls from buyers just in tears. It was just a dire situation. As a candy company, the weight of that, it was very humbling. We were supplying something that was saving people’s lives," said Michael Moss, CEO of the Sweet Shop.

Overall, Hershey’s first quarter performance was relatively in line with expectations, with a modest impact from COVID-19. However, international sales did fall.

Chocolate is the top quarantine comfort snack. That’s according to Hershey, which is also outpacing the category.
