HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE SPREAD......
I had the opportunity to try the new Hershey’s Chocolate with
Almond spread, from Crowdtap for FREEeeee. This was a sample taste test and it was
delicious. I haven’t seen this product in stores yet, but it was suppose to début
on December 6th I believe.
When I think of chocolate spread I think of Nutella but that
is hazelnut spread. Hmmm, I found a recipe on Pinterest for an Oreo, chocolate,
peanut butter spread months ago, so I had a jar of Nutella in my cabinet. I
never purchased Nutella prior to buying it for the recipe I found on Pinterest.
So my point is I pulled the jar out of the cabinet and the color of the Hershey’s
chocolate spread and Nutella are basically the same. But the taste is
different.
I love the taste of Hershey’s New Chocolate spread, it is
sweet but not to sweet, it is chocolaty with a hint of almonds. Now, I love
sugar, I’m a candy girl, so the taste of Nutella is more hazelnut-y and not
sweet, it was almost dry, to thick for my taste, but the Hershey’s Chocolate spread
was sweet and smooth and the perfect balance of sweet and chocolate.
So, I tested the spread out on toast which is weird to me because
I didn’t grow up on Nutella. I’m a butter
and jam girl. But I wanted to try it. I rather eat Hershey’s chocolate spread
with fruit or pretzels; for this taste test, I even pulled out the Reese’s
pieces and added them to the spread, Yummie. Throughout this taste test, if I
needed a sugar fix during the day, I just grabbed a spoonful for the chocolate spread,
it is good on its own too.
So I had a idea, since it is Christmas time and I am a
baker, I tend to not bake one or two kinds of cookies at Christmas but 8-10
different kinds of cookies, and I love new recipes too, I want to have a number
of cookies, that are my go to recipes, tried and true, etc…So I believe it
takes years to find just the right cookie recipe. One of the cookies I’ve been
making for years, is the peanut butter kiss cookies or blossom cookies, I’ve
even tried the recipe with peanut butter cups. Well I had the idea, what if I
put the Hershey chocolate spread in a pastry bag and piped the Hershey’s chocolate
spread into the peanut butter cookie, Yummie, I love this idea, I hope my
friends and family do too. Also this spread can be used to sandwich cookies
together, I love it. I want to make sugar cookies this year and cut all kinds
of shapes out; I am totally going to try to sandwich cookies. 
Well I’m rambling. December was the perfect time to try the
New Hershey’s chocolate spread because I would have never thought to bake with the
spread, but I do now… So try Hershey’s chocolate spread it is totally worth it….If
you see it buy it, you won’t be sorry.
Thanks for reading.
