For a candy that’s basically just a thick brick of chocolate, Hershey’s Nuggets have built an incredibly loyal fanbase. They’ve earned a reputation as the “grown-up” candy bar, if you will: an easy treat to keep in a purse, desk drawer, or lunch box for the times when you need a solid, sink-your-teeth-in chocolate treat. In fact, many chocolate fans will argue that Nuggets are the best way to experience some of Hershey’s most iconic flavors. That was certainly the case for one discontinued favorite: Cookies ‘n’ Crème Nuggets. But even decades later, fans still consider them the peak Cookies ‘n’ Creme treat: “To be honest, nothing really beats the nugget. Not the Hershey’s Kiss, and not the Hershey’s bar,” one blogger wrote. Now, Hershey’s is bringing the beloved flavor back in a way fans didn’t see coming. Last spring, Hershey’s introduced a new series of Nugget flavors called the Flavors of the World collection, inspired by desserts and favorite flavor combinations from around the globe. The collection debuted with two coffee-inspired varieties: Caramel Macchiato and Café Espresso. Inspired by the flavors of an Italian coffee shop, the chocolates had previously appeared in a limited-edition holiday assortment but were offered in standalone bags for the first time—and both treats quickly racked up five-star reviews. Now, Hershey’s is expanding the lineup with two more additions. The first is White Creme Strawberry Flavored Chocolate, inspired by the classic British berries-and-cream dessert. Fans have already praised the candy’s smooth melt, creamy consistency, and “pleasant strawberry flavor.” But the real headline here is the second flavor. You guessed it: Cookies ‘n’ Crème. It’s a funny addition to a collection inspired by global flavors, considering cookies and creme feels like a distinctly American combo. But the Flavors of the World lineup seems less focused on geography and more focused on celebrating beloved flavor inspirations. The returning candy is described as a white creme candy with chocolate cookie bits, and while the packaging has been updated and the name has been slightly tweaked, longtime fans immediately recognized what was happening. The only catch? You won’t find these Nuggets on store shelves nationwide. Both the White Creme Strawberry Flavored Chocolate and Cookies ‘n’ Crème varieties are available in 10-ounce bags for $9.99, exclusively on Hershey’s website and at Hershey’s Chocolate World locations. So, if you’re one of the many fans who’ve been missing the original ’90s Nuggets, or you’re intrigued by the new strawberry flavor, it might be time to place an order. This limited-edition collection feels like one Nuggets fans have been waiting for.
