Hershey’s Spread the Possibilities Holiday Sampling

I was quite excited to be chosen as one of the participants in the Hershey's Spread the Possibilities Holiday Sampling opportunity. As a lover of most things chocolate this is perfect for me.  As a participant I was mailed a free jar of Hershey's Spreads Chocolate with Hazelnut.  

I am a big fan of the chocolate hazelnut spreads that seem to be trendy right now. I've tried the Jif version so I am so happy that I got to try the Hershey's version.  Chocolate hazelnut spread is an indulgence of mine. I love to have it on Ritz crackers or on a bagel. The Hershey's spread is delicious.  

I happened to have both Jif and Hershey's chocolate hazelnut spread in the house, so I decided to look at the nutritional facts.  Hershey's seems to be the better of the two. With less calories, less fat, and no cholesterol, Hershey's Chocolate with Hazelnut appears to be a little less unhealthy than its competition.

I've been sick so I haven't tried the Hershey's spread on a lot of stuff, but oh I plan to.  There is a cookie I like to make called a Chocolate covered Ritz peanut butter cookie. Basically you stick peanut butter between two Ritz crackers and cover it in melted chocolate.  I have plans to make this cookie except instead of peanut butter I am going to use the Hershey's Spread.  It should be delicious and so tempting to not eat all of them at once.  

This was one of the best sampling opportunities ever for me. I loved this product and will definitely be buying it once this jar is gone.  I also want to try the other flavors, which are plain chocolate and chocolate with almonds.  I recommend this product to anyone that loves chocolate. :)
