The Hershey Company

Fans asked. We delivered. In response to exceptional demand, REESE’S has partnered with OREO® to drop a collaboration uniting iconic flavors with not one, but two new products for fans to enjoy, including our REESE’S OREO® Cup. 🍫🍪 This partnership between America’s #1 candy and #1 cookie demonstrates our commitment to consumer-driven innovation. We’re not only fulfilling fan demand, but we’re also honoring brand heritage while pushing the boundaries of flavor. The new REESE’S OREO® Cup will be available nationwide in September. 🔗 Learn more about REESE’S x OREO®: https://lnkd.in/emK2rTW9 🔗 Sign up for first access: https://shop.hersheys.com/ #innovation #growth #sweet #snack #REESESxOREO

Our second-quarter results reflect strong momentum across our business.
