Hershey Assorted Chocolate Halloween Variety Bag vs Mars Chocolate Variety Pack

Buy the Mars variety pack if you want more candy, a longer shelf life and caramel-forward bars like Snickers, Twix and Milky Way. Buy the Hershey bag if peanut butter cups and wafer bars matter more than volume, or if you specifically want a Halloween-themed bag. Both are mini, individually wrapped milk chocolate assortments, and both rate well with owners; the Hershey bag has the edge in brand variety per piece, the Mars pack in quantity and staying power.

  • Choose the Hershey Assorted bag if you want Reese's peanut butter cups and Kit Kats in the mix and a Halloween-ready bag for trick-or-treaters or a candy bowl.
  • Choose the Mars Chocolate Variety Pack if you need a larger, longer-lasting supply of Snickers, Twix, Milky Way and similar caramel bars for an all-occasion stash.

What reviewers say

Hershey Assorted Chocolate Halloween Variety Bag

  • 4.7 / 5634 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 across 634 ratings, buyers mostly describe it as a reliable Halloween mix with something for everyone. Complaints center on the small piece size and the bag running out quickly.

What people mention
  • VarietyPraisedBuyers like getting Reese's, Hershey's, Kit Kat and Almond Joy together instead of choosing one.
  • Piece sizeMixedSnack-size bars are handy for bowls but small for treat bags.
  • FreshnessPraisedReviewers report the candy arrives fresh and properly wrapped.
  • AllergensCriticisedPeanut and coconut pieces mean the bag is not safe for every trick-or-treater.

Questions and answers

Which is better for trick-or-treaters?
The Mars pack, because 55 individually wrapped pieces go further and the mix of Snickers, Twix and Milky Way suits most kids. The Hershey bag is the pick if you want Reese's cups in the bowl.
Which lasts longer in storage?
The Mars pack, with about a year of shelf life against roughly 113 days for the Hershey bag. Keep both cool and dry and they hold up well past Halloween.
Is the Hershey bag worth stepping up to?
Only if peanut butter cups and Kit Kats are the draw. Otherwise the Mars pack gives you more pieces and more time to eat them.
Do either contain nuts?
The Hershey bag contains peanuts and coconut. The Mars mix includes peanut and tree nut bars depending on the piece, so check each wrapper if allergies matter.
Are these full-size bars?
No. Both are mini, snack-size pieces, individually wrapped. That makes them suited to bowls and handing out rather than lunchbox bars.
Which has more variety?
The Hershey bag spans chocolate, peanut butter, wafer and coconut. The Mars pack leans on caramel and nougat, so it is narrower in flavor but broader in count.
