    My favorite Hershey’s tradition is using Hershey chocolate bars to make homemade smores with my family. My favorite candy is Hershey with almonds!

    Before taking the kids to your local halloween party or Trick or Treating, give them a glass of chocolate Ovaltine or Carnation Instant Breakfast . This will help take the edge off hunger and provide nutrition.

    Well, it isn’t exclusive to Halloween but every holiday Hersheys puts out a chocolat covered marshmallow treat – for Halloween it will be a pumpkin, Christmas a santa, etc. That is always my favorite.

    Eating lots of Reese’s Cups (and buying way more than I need under the guise that they’re for trick or treaters) is my tradition and favorite Hershey’s candy.

    I love the orange kit kats that are only avaliable around halloween. I didn’t realize they had an almond joy pieces. That sounds yummy too and I will have to get some of those to try and hand out also.

    We don’t get many trick-or-treaters, but we always buy lots of candy just in case. And of course we get to eat most of it!

    I remember as a kid that one of my dad’s favorite candies was Hershey with Almonds. When I would get home from trick or treating, I’d always go through my bag and leave the Hersey bars with Almonds on my dad’s dresser as a surprise for him when he got home from work.
    Thanks!

    I buy Hershey’s Kisses for every holiday–all the holidays. My first memory of eating chocolate candy was when my grandmother took the lid off her candy jar and let each of the grand-kids take just one.
