If you’re a candy lover like me, get ready to be seriously excited. Hershey’s is not slowing down in 2025, and honestly, the new stuff hitting the shelves is next-level sweet. I was scrolling through candy news the other day (yes, that’s a thing I do), and my jaw dropped when I saw what Hershey’s has planned. From crunchy Jolly Rancher surprises to peanut butter pie mini-dreams, there’s a treat for every kind of sweet tooth. Here’s the rundown of the seven wild new Hershey candies that are already blowing people’s minds—and taste buds.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie Miniatures
Okay, let’s start with this one because I couldn’t wait to try it. If you love peanut butter (I mean, who doesn’t?), these mini bites are dangerously addictive. Each one is stuffed with peanut butter filling and bits of graham-style cookie. It literally tastes like a slice of peanut butter pie… only you don’t need a fork.
Someone online said, “I keep eating 2 or 3 every time I go into the kitchen. I’m giving the rest of the bag away!” And honestly, I relate. These are the kind of treats you accidentally finish in one sitting. Super portable, super tasty, and perfect if you’ve got a pie craving but don’t wanna bake.
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Caramel
This one feels like it should’ve existed years ago. It’s that classic Hershey’s milk chocolate with gooey caramel inside. I tried it right after dinner, and my eyes legit rolled back in happiness. One shopper even said, “We’ve had all the European and American candies, and NONE compare.” That’s a bold statement, but I kinda get it.
The chocolate melts in your mouth and then bam—the caramel hits you. It’s sweet, buttery, and feels like a hug in candy form. If you’re a fan of caramel anything, you’ve gotta grab a few bars before they disappear.
Hershey’s Kisses Cinnamon Toast Crunch
You read that right. These are Kisses… but make it cereal. Imagine the warm, cinnamon-sugar goodness of Cinnamon Toast Crunch mixed with white chocolate and just a little crunch. It’s like someone made a churro into a Hershey’s Kiss.
One fan said, “It’s the perfect blend of cinnamon, white chocolate, and vanilla.” Another person mentioned, “I wish this was a full-size Hershey bar!” Honestly, same. These are cozy, crunchy, and perfect for fall—or really any time you need a sweet little pick-me-up.
Reese’s Pieces Bark with Minis and Peanuts
This candy bark is for people who want texture. Like, it’s got peanut butter, crunchy Reese’s Pieces Minis, and real roasted peanuts all packed together. It’s simple, but the combo just works.
I found this at Walmart and almost skipped it, but thank goodness I didn’t. I went back and bought two more bags. One shopper said the same thing: “I went back the next day and bought more!” That should tell you all you need to know. It’s salty, sweet, and the kind of thing you snack on during movies or after a long day.
Jolly Rancher Chewy Poppers
Now this one’s a bit wild—in the best way. These are like mini flavor bombs. They’ve got a crunchy candy shell, then a chewy inside, then a juicy fruity center. It’s a triple threat.
A Redditor said, “These are fire!” and yeah, totally agree. It’s not like the regular hard Jolly Ranchers that get stuck in your teeth. These are fun, chewy, and don’t wreck your jaw. Plus, the flavors are spot on. You’ll find yourself reaching for another before you even realize it.
Jolly Rancher Freeze Dried
Okay, this one blew my mind. Freeze-dried candy? What?! I was skeptical, but it’s actually amazing. These Jolly Ranchers are super light and crunchy, and they just melt in your mouth. The fruit flavors are strong but not overpowering.
One shopper said, “Even as someone who doesn’t crave candy, I’d say this treat is 100% worth trying.” And honestly, that’s saying a lot. It’s a little weird, but in a good way. If you want something crunchy but different from chips or popcorn, these are it.
Jolly Rancher Ropes
These chewy fruit ropes are already flying off the shelves. I saw someone say, “I’ve been going back to Walmart every day waiting for them to restock!” and yup, same. They’ve got a soft texture that’s easy to chew, plus a punch of fruity flavor that lingers just the right amount.
They’re perfect if you want something chewy and sweet but don’t want chocolate. I tossed a few in my car and now I munch on them when I’m stuck in traffic. Way better than being hangry on the road.
So yeah, Hershey’s is seriously crushing it this year. Whether you’re a chocolate lover, a peanut butter fiend, or a fruity candy fan, there’s something in the 2025 lineup for you. These aren’t your average sweets—they’re the kind of snacks you tell your friends about and hide from your roommates.
Try them out and let me know your favorite. I’m still stuck between the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Kisses and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie Miniatures. Or maybe the Chewy Poppers. Ugh, don’t make me choose!
