Symphony is the name of two varieties of chocolate bars made by The Hershey Company under the Hershey brand name. The milk chocolate contains the identical ingredients used in the regular chocolate bars made by Hershey's, but have varying amounts of some ingredients[1] (specifically cocoa butter, chocolate and lactose) in order to give a creamier flavor. Introduced in 1989, the Symphony bar has remained in production today (unlike the Mild and Mellow bar introduced in 1934 and dropped from production in 1941).[2] These are two of the Hershey chocolate candy bars that are a departure from Hershey's original milk chocolate recipe which was designed by Milton Hershey in 1894.[3]
The name "Symphony" is given to the bars because it is supposed to be a treat to the mouth in the same way music is to the ears.[4]
