30 Years Later, Hershey's Brings Back Popular Candy
It's always the best feeling when a favorite item that was discontinued suddenly makes a comeback. On the flipside, when the word gets out that a beloved item is going away, the thing to do is usually to stock up as many as possible. That's hard to do with food items, though. That's what makes it even more exciting that Hershey's is bringing back a popular candy that hasn't been available for years.
Hershey's has been around since 1894. The company was founded in Pennsylvania and grew from a small operation headed by Milton S. Hersheyto the global candy company that it is today.
One of the unique creations from Hershey's was Hershey's Nuggets, which debuted in the 1990s and is still a favorite today. Over the years, certain flavors have come and gone in the Nuggets line. But, sometimes, those flavors tend to make their way back into the lineup.
Previously Discontinued Favorite is Making a Comeback
One of the popular discontinued varieties of Hershey's Nuggets was Cookies 'n' Crème Nuggets. The company created the treat after their candy bar Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme took off. The small candies feature white chocolate with crunchy chocolate cookie bits and are just delicious. But, it went away in the early 2000s.
Until now. Cookies 'n' Crème Nuggets are making a comeback nearly 30 years later, and it's oh-so glorious. But, you have to purchase it in a special way. The item is available as part of the company's Flavors of the World Nuggets collection. Hershey's started the line in 2025, offering coffee-inspired varieties, including Caramel Macchiato and Café Espresso. Now, it's expanding to include Cookies 'n' Crème Nuggets and White Creme Strawberry Flavored Chocolate Nuggets, the latter which is new. The Flavors of the World collection offers "premium taste experiences" via the Nuggets line.
"One bite of this cookies and cream-inspired Nuggets candy will transport you back to sweeter days," the item's description states. "Made with white creme and crunchy chocolate cookie bits, the latest Hershey's Nuggets flavor makes a delicious and nostalgic gift, pantry treat or candy dish staple."
Each piece is individually wrapped and packaged in a shareable 10-ounce pouch, according to the company. The line is available on Hershey's official website. So, if you're missing the glory days of the Cookies 'n' Crème Nuggets, this is your chance to stock up.
