Amazing Grace is a Hershey's Chocolate Bar



The Hershey's Chocolate Bar traces its origins to 1900, when it was first mass-produced by Milton S. Hershey in Hershey. After successfully launching caramel candies through the Lancaster Caramel Company, Hershey sold his caramel business to focus on chocolate production, inspired by chocolate-making machinery he saw at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He aimed to create an affordable milk chocolate bar for everyday Americans, which was innovative at a time when chocolate was often considered a luxury. The result was a smooth, slightly tangy milk chocolate bar wrapped in its now-iconic brown-and-silver packaging. Over the decades, the Hershey’s Chocolate Bar became one of the most recognizable sweets in the United States and helped establish the The Hershey Company as a global leader in the confectionery industry.
