Yahoo Lifestyle Hershey’s Just Dropped a Spooky New Product and Fans Are Rushing to Find It
One of the most iconic Halloween items is the Halloween candy bucket, which is often shaped like a jack-o'-lantern. This holiday staple became popular in the mid-20th century as trick-or-treating gained traction. The pumpkin-shaped buckets were mass-produced in the 1950s, which was around the time candy became the preferred Halloween treat.
Although the tradition is to fill your Halloween bucket with candy, what if the bucket came with candy inside? Thanks to content creator @markie_devo, we know that that's exactly what Hershey's is up to this year and we know they're going to disappear quickly this Halloween!
What Is the Hershey's Candy Bulk Bucket?
"Hershey’s is chiming in on the spooky bucket game with one of their own," Markie said in the caption of his Instagram post.
This Halloween Candy Bulk Bucket comes with 110 Hershey's mini treats, including candy bars, Reese’s Cups and Kit Kat. It's been spotted in stores in a purple color and online in white. The in-store price is labeled as $22.99 and the online price is $27.99, or you can get two for $50.
It didn't take long for commenters to jump in with their thoughts. "I don't need this, but I do," someone said. "So cute!" added another. "Much better than the McDonald’s buckets this year," another person chimed in.
Commenters were charmed by the cartoon images of a vampire, a mummy, bats and jack-o-lanterns. We agree that they're really cute, but they're also really handy. They're filled with candy that you can give out (or keep for yourself) and you can repurpose the bucket for trick-or-treating and/or for storing your Halloween candy haul. Just snap on the lid to keep your sweet stash safe.
But the iconic candy company didn't stop with this cute Halloween bucket.
"They also released a cool spooky coffin filled with candy," Markie said. The Trick or Treat Halloween Candy Coffin Gift Box, which costs $24.99, is packed with 120 pieces of seasonal candy, including Hershey's bars, Kit Kat and Reese's.
Markie said the bucket can be found online at shop.hersheys.com and in stores. The coffin has been spotted at Target, both in-store and online.
