ZERO bar

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

ZERO bar is a candy bar produced by the Hershey Company. It was first introduced in the United States in 1920, and is known for its distinctive white color and combination of ingredients.

History[edit | edit source]

The ZERO bar was first created by the Hollywood Brands candy company in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company was later acquired by the Hershey Company in 1996, which continues to produce the ZERO bar today. The name "ZERO" is said to imply that the bar is cool, as in temperature, although the exact origin of the name is unclear.

Description[edit | edit source]

The ZERO bar is unique among candy bars for its white color, which is a result of its almond-flavored white chocolate coating. Inside, the bar contains a mixture of caramel, peanut and almond nougat, covered with a layer of white fudge. The combination of flavors and textures has made the ZERO bar a distinctive and popular choice among candy bar enthusiasts.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production process for the ZERO bar involves several steps. First, the nougat is made by combining sugar, corn syrup, and a mixture of peanuts and almonds. This nougat is then layered with caramel. The entire bar is then enrobed in a coating of almond-flavored white chocolate.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The ZERO bar has received mixed reviews over the years. Some consumers appreciate its unique flavor and texture, while others find it too sweet or dislike the almond-flavored coating. Despite these mixed reviews, the ZERO bar has maintained a loyal following and continues to be produced today.
