The social media upload announced that Hershey's Bark and Reese's Pieces Bark are on their way to store shelves, previewing a photo of what the candy packages will look like.

Meanwhile, Reese's Pieces Bark comes in a bright orange and yellow baggie, and is made of "milk chocolate pieces with mini Reese's Pieces candy and peanuts."

The snacks will reportedly be available in two size options, 6 oz. and 3.1 oz.

The new sweet treats were well-accepted by foodies, as several chimed in expressing that both seem like promising and tasty options.

"Both sound so yummy!" one exclaimed in the comments section of the upload, while another admitted, "I want them both!"

"Oh i need both," a third declared, echoing the above sentiment, with a fourth noticing they look "Yum, yum and yummy!"

Someone else called the innovation "Ingenious," before adding, "finally something new i like 🐱🐻."

One Instagram user even proposed an idea for how to use the candies as part of a creative recipe: "I would make cookies out these. Cram the cookie dough wrapping the bark and then bake."
