Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs Are Back for the First Time in Two Years

Healthy Fact of the Day

The individually-wrapped format of Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Fangs is one of the most effective natural portion control tools in the candy aisle — each bar is snack-sized rather than full-sized, making it easy to have one and feel satisfied without working through a full bar. When buying Halloween candy this early in the season, storing it somewhere less visible — a cabinet rather than a bowl on the counter — dramatically reduces the likelihood of mindless snacking between now and October. Out of sight really does mean out of mind when it comes to candy.

The candy aisle is already turning orange — and one of its most beloved seasonal treats just returned.

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs are back on store shelves for the first time since 2024, and fans who remember scrambling to find them the last time around are already stocking up. The individually-wrapped, snack-sized bars stamped with vampire fang indentations are one of the most consistently well-reviewed Halloween candies in Hershey’s lineup — and with a two-year absence behind them, the demand this fall is expected to be strong.

What They Are

Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs are snack-sized versions of the classic Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme bar — white chocolate studded with cookie pieces — shaped and stamped to look like vampire fangs. Each bar is individually wrapped, making them ideal for handing out to trick-or-treaters or tucking into a lunch bag as a midday treat.

The Cookies ‘N’ Creme flavor itself has been one of Hershey’s most popular since it debuted in 1995. The Fangs format applies it to a Halloween-specific shape that fans have been requesting back since the last run ended.

What Reviewers Are Saying

The reviews from previous runs are overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Shoppers on Hershey’s website described the texture as “unbeatable” and the taste as “creamy,” with multiple 5-star reviews calling them “perfect” and “top notch.” One reviewer coined the term “fangtacular.” Another said they had to “scramble to get them” the last time they were available — a useful warning for anyone who wants to be strategic about buying early this season.

One reviewer captured the full experience: “The kids in our house loved these. They would put them over their teeth as real fangs and try to scare us.” That combination of genuinely good chocolate and built-in Halloween silliness is exactly why this product has the following it does.

Where to Find Them

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs are available now at major retailers. The seasonal Halloween candy window typically runs through late October, but given the two-year gap and the existing fan demand, grabbing a bag sooner rather than later is the safer strategy.

The Bottom Line

Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Fangs are back on shelves now after a two-year absence — individually-wrapped, vampire-stamped snack-sized white chocolate bars that work equally well for trick-or-treaters and your own candy drawer. If you missed them last time, don’t wait.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Baked Dill Pickle Pretzels

Baking rather than frying keeps these pretzels significantly lighter than their deep-fried counterparts while still achieving a satisfying golden exterior. The pickle juice contributes natural sodium and vinegar, which means less added salt is needed to achieve bold, well-seasoned flavor throughout the dough.

The Pasta That Takes Twenty Minutes and Tastes Like It Took All Day

Pasta — particularly pasta made from semolina durum wheat and cooked al dente — has a significantly lower glycemic index than most other refined grain preparations, producing a slower and more sustained blood glucose response than white bread, white rice, or overcooked pasta made from the same flour. The al dente cooking that professional cooks prefer for texture reasons also preserves the pasta’s intact starch structure, which slows digestion and moderates the glycemic response further. Adding olive oil and protein-containing ingredients — anchovies, tuna, eggs, cheese — to pasta further reduces the glycemic impact of the meal by slowing the digestion of the carbohydrates, making a properly made pasta with protein and good fat a metabolically appropriate meal for most people.
