Hershey's to release 'Gold' bar

Hershey's is going for the gold, announcing its first new candy bar in more than two decades.

Hershey's Gold is described as a "caramelized cream bar embedded with salty peanut and pretzel bits." The company told The Associated Press that the new offering is in response to the popularity of "crunchy multi-textured candy."

Hershey's Gold will go on sale Dec. 1.

The last bar to be released by Hershey's was Cookies 'n' Creme in 1995.
