Halloween is coming, and Hershey’s is getting ready with an assortment of spooky goodies

It might still be summertime, but Halloween isn’t all that far off. And so candy-giant Hershey’s is cooking up a cauldron of treats.

OMG those mini-pumpkins

Look, we get it, it’s August. The unrelenting sun is baking most of the Northern Hemisphere, and you’re inside with the AC cranking. As such, you might not be thinking about the cool fall weather, the leaves falling gently from the trees, and jack o’ lanterns resting on front stoops. But you know who is thinking about all of that? Yep, Hershey’s.

The candy-making giant has indeed been planning on what products will be out and about this Halloween season, and they’ve got some doozy’s to reveal. These might be some of the neatest treats ever from the company too. At least, as far as we can remember they are.

How’s a Kit-Kat in the shape of a certain vampiric Count sound? What about little Reese’s mini-pumpkins in a bag? How about some vintage “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and Harry Potter fun? Check out the skinny on the above, plus some new Shaq gummies (?!) below.
