![]() But that’s not all – he’s also responsible for the best candy bar’s existence in the first place. The world has Michael Nolt, Chocolate Fellow and member of the R&D team at The Hershey Company, to thank for the record-setting creation. The bar measures 9 feet long by 5.5 feet wide by 2 feet high and weighs 5,943 pounds. “You might not have been familiar with Reese’s Take 5 before, but now, the bar will become your newest obsession.” “The Reese’s team believes records, even those just a few weeks old, are meant to be broken,” said Veronica Villasenor, senior director Reese’s brand. The record-breaking bar was revealed at Hershey’s Chocolate World in Hershey, PA today, and mirrors the classic Reese’s Take 5 bar with a delicious combination of five layers – Reese’s peanut butter, chocolate, caramel, peanuts and pretzels. And the Reese’s team is adding pretzels, caramel and peanut butter too!ĭid you really think Reese’s would let that record go uncontested? Reese’s Take 5 is already going big with a Big Game advertising spot to prove it’s the best candy bar you’ve never heard of, but now it’s going even bigger – literally. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Two weeks ago, the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest chocolate nut bar was set, but today, Reese’s Take 5 takes over that title.

Hershey’s is also planning a marshmallow version of this bar later this year. The caramel doesn’t even seem as chewy or even noticeable (I did a double take after eating the first piece to make sure that there’s still caramel in there.) it’s just lost its vibrancy and interest. The balance is just all off and the crunchiness is gone, the variation in textures is missing. This chocolate cookie is crisp and pretty thick, but it lacks a chocolate flavor of its own, and certainly isn’t as crispy as a pretzel and can’t match the salty hit and bland flavor that a pretzel has. I don’t think the selling point of the Take 5 is just any old five ingredients - the pretzel is the unique selling point. anything else in that slot and you’ve just made a Twix type bar. First, the pretzel was the linchpin of the Take 5 - you can’t have a Take 5 without a pretzel. This created some balance problems for me with the bar. In this iteration of the candy they’ve simply replaced the pretzel base with a chocolate cookie (ala Oreos). This version of the Take 5 is the first Limited Edition I’ve seen, as the White Chocolate and Peanut Butter are supposed to be permanent additions to the family. I’m not sure why Hershey’s is mucking around with the Take 5 bar, but happily these limited edition bars at least mean that they leave the original alone.
