The Hershey Company
The Hershey Company is a Pennsylvania-based confectionery maker with roots going back to 1894. The US portfolio covers Hershey's Milk Chocolate, Special Dark, Kisses, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Pieces, Kit Kat (under license in the US), Almond Joy, Mounds, Twizzlers, Jolly Rancher, PayDay, Take 5, Heath, Whoppers, Rolo, and York Peppermint Patties. All standard lines sit in NOVA 4 due to sugar, corn syrup solids, artificial flavors, and the emulsifier PGPR. FoodScore penalties stack on added sugar and saturated fat for most SKUs; the few darker-chocolate variants score modestly higher. Our pages compare each line to its closest competitor (Ghirardelli, Lindt, Mars Wrigley) on the same rubric.
