Explanation / Answer

The Hershey Company works to bring you Almond Joy and lots of Kisses. The company makes such well-known chocolate and candy brands as Hershey's, Kisses, Reese's peanut butter cups, Twizzlers licorice, and, under license, Mounds candy bar, York peppermint pattie, and Kit Kat wafer bar. Hershey also makes grocery goods, including baking chocolate, chocolate syrup, cocoa mix, cookies, snack nuts, breath mints, and bubble gum. Products from the chocolate king are sold to wholesale distributors and retailers of all kind throughout North America, and exported overseas. The Hershey Trust -- which benefits the Milton Hershey School for disadvantaged children -- controls approximately 80% of Hershey's voting power.
