The days of choosing vegan-by-default dark chocolate in the candy aisles to make vegan sâmores are behind us (but hey, no hate if thatâs what you likeâwe love our dark chocolate!) because Hersheyâs just released a vegan oat milk chocolate bar!
The New Hersheyâs Vegan Chocolate Bar Is Available at Target
The new Hersheyâs chocolate bar was first found at Soul Minerâs Garden, a food truck in North Carolina. Social media has been lighting up since the discovery, with vegans wondering where to locate the product as Hersheyâs has not released an official statement regarding this sweet treat.
We can now confirm that the new Hersheyâs vegan chocolate bar is currently available at Target! As of right now, it looks like only a few Target stores on the East Coast are carrying the product in-store, but the bars can be shipped nationwide, so check your Target app for availability near you.
According to the popular Instagram account @bigboxvegan (where the shared picture of the vegan chocolate bar went viral), customers have successfully ordered the products to be shipped as far west as California!
The bar is called Oat Made and comes in two flavors: âextra creamy with almonds + sea saltâ and âclassic dark.â Ingredients include cocoa butter, chocolate, oat flour, sunflower oil, natural flavors, and sea salt.
Hersheyâs Vegan Options
In February of this year, Hersheyâs launched their âbetter for youâ campaign, which included a promise to release more products with organic, reduced sugar, plant-based ingredients. While Hersheyâs still hasnât released a statement on the launch of the vegan chocolate bars, this is big news if itâs just the beginning of a plant-based lineup.
So cheers for more Hersheyâs vegan options! Get those marshmallows, graham crackers, and skewers ready, and give Hersheyâs a follow on Instagram (@hersheys) to stay current on all updates on the vegan chocolate release.
