Chocolate giant Hershey has announced that it will be releasing Vegan Ridge Peanut Butter Cups nationally by the end of this month! The long-awaited treat is made with oats instead of dairy and tastes like traditional milk chocolate.
Hershey is known for its Reese’s Chocolates, Hershey Bars, Kisses and many other popular candies. On top of making the exciting vegan Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, the company plans to release a plant-based chocolate Hershey bar with almonds and sea salt this April. “We’re excited to introduce these delicious, plant-based options,” Teal Liu, brand manager for Hershey Better for You, said in a statement.
