Symphony (candy)
Symphony is the name of two varieties of chocolate bars made by The Hershey Company under the Hershey brand name. The milk chocolate contains the identical ingredients used in the regular chocolate bars made by Hershey's, but have varying amounts of some ingredients in order to give a creamier flavor. Introduced in 1989, the Symphony bar has remained in production today. These are two of the Hershey chocolate candy bars that are a departure from Hershey's original milk chocolate recipe which was designed by Milton Hershey in 1894.
The name "Symphony" is given to the bars because it is supposed to be a treat to the mouth in the same way music is to the ears.
History
Symphony was developed after research began in 1984. Prior to its release to the general public, it was first testmarketed in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. It was targeted to a more mature audience including the middle- and upper-class consumers.It was found to be the most preferred of nine products test-marketed by Hershey's in China.
