Building on the success of Brookside Dark Chocolates, Hershey introduced Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars, made with wholesome ingredients including whole roasted almonds, real fruit pieces and Brookside dark chocolate.

“People love to snack throughout the day and want a broader range of wholesome options,” said Tony Tyree, Vice President, Snacks & Grocery for The Hershey Company. “They also want to know what’s in their food, how it’s made and where the ingredients come from. Inspired by our consumers’ wholesome snacking preferences, we’ve developed Brookside Fruit & Nut bars which are crafted from simpler ingredients to create an extraordinarily delicious eating experience that can be enjoyed at any time of day.”

In addition to its wholesome ingredients, Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars are gluten free, contain no artificial flavors, are a good source of fiber, a good source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, made with real fruit, and are low in sodium, cholesterol free, and have zero grams of trans-fat.
