Hershey's Peanut Butter Candy in a Crunchy Shell
What it is
This is a popular candy featuring a creamy peanut butter center enrobed in a crisp, sweet candy shell. The combination of smooth peanut butter and the satisfying crunch of the shell creates a distinct texture and flavor profile that many find appealing. It's a classic treat enjoyed by people of all ages.
How people cook with it
These candies are often enjoyed as a standalone sweet treat or incorporated into various desserts and baked goods for added flavor and texture.
- Enjoyed straight from the bag
- Added to ice cream sundaes
- Mixed into cookie dough
- Used as a topping for cakes
When using these candies in baking, they can be added whole to cookie dough or cake batter before baking. For a more intense peanut butter flavor and a softer texture, the candy shell can be gently crushed or broken apart before mixing. They also make a delightful addition when sprinkled over the top of finished desserts like brownies or cupcakes, providing a contrasting crunch and a burst of sweet peanut butter flavor. For simple enjoyment, they are perfectly suited to be eaten directly from their packaging.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other peanut butter candies, this product is distinguished by its specific candy shell. The shell provides a firm, brittle texture that contrasts with the smooth, creamy peanut butter filling. This particular shell formulation offers a unique snap and sweetness that sets it apart from candies with softer coatings or no shell at all.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and crunchiness of any remaining candies, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage will prevent the candy shell from becoming soft or the peanut butter from becoming oily.
