The Candy Salad You Can Find At Hershey’s Chocolate World

Caesar, Cobb, Caprese…candy? You might think the unifying factor of this odd-one-out quartet is the letter C, but you’d only be partially right. They’re actually all types of salad. Yup, a candy-based option can be added to the Mount Rushmore of salads, which will unfortunately probably stay theoretical because the slippery dressing would make it a nightmare for maintenance to climb. Darn workers’ comp.

But, focusing on the happy news, candy salad! At Hershey’s Chocolate World! Visitors can make their own sugary amalgamation by choosing up to six mix‑ins including Hershey-etts, Jolly Rancher gummies, Twizzler nibs, and Sour Strips rainbow bites. 

What’s Hershey’s Chocolate World?

Located in Hershey, PA, Hershey’s Chocolate World is a visitor center to celebrate all things Hershey’s candy. It’s free to enter and offers a whole host of sweet experiences, including a tour ride to see how chocolate is made, a gift shop, and a café. Visitors can indulge in anything from decadent sweets to savory meals to adult libations to (help) make wrangling sugared up kids just a little bit more bearable. 

It’s also right next to Hersheypark, the full-scale amusement park, but maybe hit the place with all the roller coasters before you fuel up at the cafe that offers a candy salad? Just a suggestion.

What Can You Eat There (Other Than Chocolate)?

If, for whatever reason, you do not want a candy salad, the café offers other options. 

We’re most interested in the seasonal baked goodies, but if you’re interested in year-round offerings, something on the savory side, or just more general information, we encourage you to visit the website. Partially because you’ll get more info and partially because it asks you to accept all cookies, and we really like websites that let you practice for visiting the location.

Seasonal Baked Goods To Get Your Hands On

Hershey’s S’mores Pie

A graham cracker tart shell filled with chocolate ganache and topped with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, more graham cracker crumbs, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a little rectangle of Hershey’s milk chocolate. You know the ones.

Classic Cheesecake

Cheesecake with strawberry preserves and a graham cracker crust, topped with whipped cream, more strawberry preserves, fresh strawberries, and Hershey’s white creme strawberry nuggets. Strawberries and cream have always been a winning combination, so why not go all in?

Red, White & Berry Parfait

Yogurt layered with strawberry and blueberry purees, topped with fresh berries and with a side of granola. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and patriotic? The National Anthem is super famous and only has one of those things, so this has gotta be good. 

Red, White & Blue Sugar Cookie

Simple. Classic. Festive. Solid choice. 

Red, White & Blue Dipped Strawberries

Hit those fruit goals and celebrate the United States at the same time. Go load up another basket at the gift shop with all the time you just saved. 

Hershey’s Signature Chaos Mini Cake

Layers of chocolate cake, fudge, and chocolate buttercream, topped with ganache and “assorted Hershey’s confections.” They don’t specify what those confections are, but we’re not really all that skeptical.
