Hershey’s Unveiled Its New Holiday Baking Shapes, So Get Ready for a Jolly Good Time

Thanksgiving may be right around the corner, but for Hershey’s, Christmas is coming early. Ready to bring even more holiday cheer to your Christmas cooking this year, the beloved chocolate and candy purveyor is delivering bags of a new treat that are perfect for decorating Santa’s cookies — Holiday Baking Shapes. 

These festive bags of baking chips include a mixture of green trees and red stockings made of white creme that are sure to add flavor and holiday cheer to this year’s culinary confections. The chips can be used as toppings, added directly into your batter, or — if you’re like me — eaten right out of the bag before even making it into the recipe.

If you end up grabbing a bag or two (or three), make sure to submit your creations to the once-in-a-lifetime baking contest that Hershey’s and The Hallmark Channel have put together for those looking to get their big break. The two companies — which go hand in hand for the holiday season — have teamed up to reward one lucky fan with a walk-on role as a baker in an upcoming Hallmark Channel original movie. So, if this sounds like something you’ve dreamed of doing, you’ll want to visit  HersheyAndHallmarkChannel.com to find out how to enter.

For those of you just interested in spreading joy to the world through the new Holiday Baking Shapes, you can find the 7-ounce bags at stores nationwide (like Walmart) from now until the end of the year for about $2.25 each. And with the price being that low, you’ll be able to buy some for everyone on your “nice” list this year because they’re guaranteed to make great stocking stuffers.
