Brookside expands portfolio with new product featuring wholesome
ingredients, real fruit pieces and its extraordinary dark chocolate
For generations, The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) has been known and
loved for a wide range of great-tasting confection products such as Hershey’s,
Reese’s and Twizzlers. Hershey understands people desire
more snacking options in addition to confection – including wholesome
snacks and protein on the go – and want the foods to be made with
simple, familiar ingredients. Driven by these insights, Hershey is
bringing the delicious tastes people love to a new range of snacks
offerings.
Building on the success of Brookside Dark Chocolates, Hershey is
introducing Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars, made
with wholesome ingredients including whole roasted almonds, real fruit
pieces and delicious Brookside dark chocolate.
“People love to snack throughout the day and want a broader range of
wholesome options,” said Tony Tyree, Vice President, Snacks & Grocery
for The Hershey Company. “They also want to know what’s in their food,
how it’s made and where the ingredients come from. Inspired by our
consumers’ wholesome snacking preferences, we’ve developed Brookside
Fruit & Nut bars which are crafted from simpler ingredients to create an
extraordinarily delicious eating experience that can be enjoyed at any
time of day.”
In addition to its wholesome ingredients, Brookside Fruit & Nut
Bars are gluten free, contain no artificial flavors, are a good source
of fiber, a good source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, made with
real fruit, and are low in sodium, cholesterol free, and have zero grams
of trans-fat.
Packaging for Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars furthers the promise of
transparency, boasting a clear packaging window through which consumers
can see the texture and ingredients of this latest snacking innovation.
Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars come in three delicious varieties:
- Brookside Fruit & Nut Cranberry with Blackberry Flavor

Each variety will be available in a 1.4-oz. bar (SRP $1.69), while the Brookside
