In 1894, before the introduction of the milk chocolate Hershey bar in 1900, the Hershey Chocolate Company manufactured and marketed "vanilla sweet chocolate" a semi-sweet chocolate.[1] This bar has been described as the "first" American candy bar.[2] The company continued to provide semi-sweet chocolate products and in the 1930s a Not-So-Sweet bar[3] and in 1939, added the Bitter-Sweet bar to Hershey's Miniatures.[4] The Hershey's Semi-Sweet bar was being sold in the market in the 1960s.[5]
Miniatures
Hershey's Special Dark is a component of the traditional Hershey's Miniatures assortment first sold in 1939, when the Special Dark was called Bitter-Sweet.[6]
In 2006, Hershey's began selling Hershey's Special Dark Miniatures, which included the plain Special Dark bar, along with dark bars with peanuts (similar to a Mr. Goodbar) and with crisped rice (similar to a Krackel).[citation needed]
Hershey's Extra Dark
Hershey's Extra Dark is a product very similar to the Special Dark. The three varieties are solid chocolate; chocolate with macadamia nuts and dried cranberries; and chocolate with cranberries, blueberries, pomegranate, and almonds. Hershey's marketing emphasizes the antioxidant qualities of these bars' ingredients. Additionally, Hershey's Extra Dark contains 60% cocoa solids, while Hershey's Special Dark contains 45% cocoa solids.[7]
