HERSHEY, Pa., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The hunt for the perfect chocolate covered caramel is over. The Hershey Company HSY today announced the launch of new Hershey's Caramels, the perfect marriage of delicious Hershey's chocolate with smooth, creamy caramel that makes every day feel a little fancy.

Hershey's Caramels are made with a unique process that delivers a luscious experience in each and every bite. Made with sea salt, molasses and fresh dairy butter, each bite of caramel provides a silky, smooth texture and flavor. The caramel pieces are enrobed with just the right amount of rich milk or dark chocolate to ensure the perfect balance of chocolate and caramel in each piece. Cocoa is added to the milk chocolate variety to provide a rich, deep chocolate flavor that complements the sweetness of the caramel. Each piece of Hershey's Caramels is then touch decorated for a gourmet, hand-crafted appearance. 

"Each bite of Hershey's Caramels provides an elevated experience through the blend of luscious, creamy caramel and delicious Hershey's chocolate that consumers know and love," said Michael Rabinovitz, brand manager, Hershey's Caramels. "Our fans will enjoy a decadent chocolate experience at an everyday affordable price."
