Krackel, the Red-Headed Step-Child of Candy Bars
I just ate a small Krackel Candy bar. It was part of a mix of mini candy bars from Hershey’s. It was delicious. Krackels kind of taste like Nestle Crunch. But you never hear of someone going down to the 7-Eleven to buy a Krackel. Snickers, sure. Kit Kat, fine. Reese’s, right on. Hershey’s bar, yep. Milky Way, okay. 3 Musketeers, sure. Nestle Crunch, indeed.
But Krackle? I’ve only eaten them in those from those mix bags. Never bought a standalone Krackle bar or a bag of Krackle bars.
I declare Krackle the Red-Headed Step-Child of Candy Bars.
If you like Krackle try Mr. Big when you are in Canada: vanilla wafer, caramel, peanuts and rice crisps… my mouth is drooling as I type.

Agreed. I wish they had a big one though, seeing as they are the best.
I remember always telling myself after eating few of these from the mix bag, “I’m going to buy me a large Krackle bar tomorrow.., mmm these are soooo good.” But I always forgot about Krackle the next day. So it never happened.
I can’t find large bars of Hershey’s Krackel ANYWHERE. I have to go to WinCo foods for the bulk mix. Then, I just take ONLY the Krackel. Red headed STEP child?? It’s the BEST DAMNED CANDY BAR on the MARKET!!! I friggin’ LOVE Hershey’s Krackel! I’d get Nestle’s Crunch but its so damned expensive.
I’m getting conflicting info about full-size Krackel bars. Some web sites say they were discontinued a while back. I went to the Hershey’s store in Times Square, thinking that if they still existed, that’s where I’d find them. Nope. They only had the miniatures. So I asked a clerk about it. He told me that the only place you can get full-size bars of Krackel is at Hershey Park in Hershey, PA. Naturally, I asked why this was the case, and his response was that Krackel is not a big seller. Well, DUH! It’s not a big seller because the only place you can get it is Hershey Freakin’ Pennsylvania!
Krackel is delicious.
Have been looking for the large bar.
I am located near the Gulf oil spill.
Which is a fur piece from Hershey Freakin’ Pennsylvania.
They only make Krackel in the miniature size. They are sold in the Heshey Miniatures bag.
Logic 101: Product P has not generally been available for purchase; so limited quantities of product P have been sold; therefore, product P is being discontinued.
I was just in Hersey’s store in Hersey PA. They only have Krackel in the minitures mix. Doesn’t seem like they offer it, I did not ask about it.
When I was younger I bought full size Krackle bars in Granada, a small town in Colorado. I haven’t found full size anywhere else.
I live near Hershey and visit Chocolate World from time to time. They do not make Krackel in any size other than miniature. I asked an employee a couple of years ago. Between this and Hershey sending work out of the country, our family is disgusted with the company. I believe Milton Hershey is rolling over in his grave!
Sorry for the rant. I need a piece of chocolate…now where’s my Krackel bar??? Let me just get my microscope, I’m sure the minis are around here somewhere…
I think Hershey is in collusion with Nestle not to make Krackel in big bars.
I´m from Mexico and visit the US last week, and I also was looking in walmart for a Big Bar of Krackel but cant find it, where is it???
