Hershey's Miniatures are packaged assortments of miniature-sized candy bars sold by The Hershey Company.

Description[]

Hershey's Miniatures were first introduced as an assortment in 1939, featuring the five most popular Hershey candy bars of the period: Hershey bars, Krackel bars, Mr. Goodbars, Bitter-Sweet now called Hershey's Special Dark, and a fifth-bar, Hershey's Nougat-Almond. Also promoted as a full-size bar at that time, Hershey's Nougat-Almond was later discontinued in 1942 due to wartime restrictions and was no longer included in Hershey's Miniatures assortments.^[1] The Hershey's Miniatures product assortment currently contains traditional Hershey bars, Mr. Goodbar, Hershey's Special Dark, and Krackel bars.^[2]
