Hi,

     Christine here,  this is the response I received from Hershey.   My
3 1/2 year old grandson loves this candy bar.  I am going to make all of
his Easter candy with this candy bar.  I can't believe with all of the
candy Hershey's make that they have to change this one. Maybe if enough
people call they will reconsider.


Sincerely,  Christine  ( Grammy )

We appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar is being reformulated
to include milk fat.  We feel the change will improve the bar
by giving it a creamier texture.  We will begin manufacturing
of the reformulated bar in mid April.

Our goal is to manufacture products with widespread consumer
appeal. Since we work closely with our Brands Managers to
keep them informed of what consumers like and dislike about
our products, we would like to gather your comments for our
Marketing survey.

Please call us toll free at 1-800-468-1714, weekdays,
9 am-4pm EST.  When a consumer representative answers,
please tell them you are calling regarding Reference Number 2549583A.
The information you provide will be forwarded to our
Marketing Department.
