Hershey's Dipped Pretzels 120g Pretzels Dipped in Milk Chocolate

Product Information

Between the soft and chewy texture, the caramel and chocolate, and the crunchy pretzels, these are downright addictive. So even though these pretzel hugs (aka Christmas pretzels, Christmas hugs, etc.) are possibly the most basic treat ever and probably nobody needs the recipe, I wanted to share them anyway. To capitalize on this potential and deliver planned double-digit growth in the next three years, Riggs said, Hershey will invest in advertising for both brands, including debuting last week its first campaign for Dot’s and a new campaign for SkinnyPop. For example, Dot’s has household penetration of only 50% in the Northeast, which Riggs described as “the largest pretzel market.”​ Likewise, SkinnyPop has only 86% channel penetration compared to its top competitor, which has 98%.

I like using my silpat liners better than parchment paper for these. They are more grippy on the pretzels so they don't slide all over when I'm transferring to the oven. Now that we’re popcorn makers and pretzel makers and the Dutch pretzel line has been marketed for a few years, we can now make our dipped pretzels … and additionally Reese’s Popcorn, which was in test markets last year, just launched,”​ Riggs said. “This ability for us to bring sweet and salty and leverage the iconic brand of Reese’s into the salty category provides a lot of incrementality and growth.”​ ‘We plan to grow margins on our salty business 300 basis points’​Place the baking sheet in the oven for 4-6 minutes, just until the candy starts to melt. They should look shiny and soft, but you don't want to go too far or they will liquify and you will have a mess! Seriously, unless you have iron-clad willpower, don’t make these. I ate three before they cooled and almost burned my mouth!

Skip the M&M and top the melted hug with a second pretzel to make a pretzel hug sandwich for a greater crunchy, salty to sweet ratio. Over the next three years, we plan to grow margins on our salty business 300 basis points,”​ by optimizing the company’s supply chain network, implementing an enhanced enterprise resource planning software system, and enhancing the portfolio mix, Rigg said.In addition to advertising, we still have upside and distribution”​ and channel expansion, Riggs said. She explained that through Hershey’s recent acquisitions it is now able to bring together several businesses that have been running their own platform and systems under one ERP platform.
