Did someones say chocolate? Ya, I did and nothing in the world is better than chocolate when you are down and out, am I right? Last week was a not-so-great week for me. Well, Friday the 13th (to be exact) was a HORRIBLE day for me…
To help me get through that day, wanna know what I did? I ate a WHOLE bag of Hershey’s Simple Pleasures, yes I did… Did it make my whole day all of a sudden perfect? Nope. In fact my day got worse, later. BUT it did make me feel good AS I was devouring them up, and that is what is important, right? And, since Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates have 30 percent less fat than the average leading milk chocolates, I did not really care about eating the whole bag (that and I am pregnant, so I can justify this..).
So, now when I decide to eat a whole bag of these chocolate, I don’t have to feel too guilty and I can feel great about loving that moment I eat them up 
And, Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates is encouraging you (and your friends and family!!) to sign the Declaration of “Sweet Independence,” prompting you to enjoy life’s simple pleasures and live a balanced lifestyle! You can sign the declaration on the Hershey’s Facebook page noting what you are celebrating your independence from! Too much fun
So, this Summer I am declaring my Sweet Independence by doing what I want, when I want (within reason of course!). I just want to enjoy the summer with my family and take each moment and ENJOY it!! No more stressing out over stupid things!!! That is MY biggest thing and I need to get OVER it!
I was sent three bags of Hershey Simple Pleasures Chocolates and, like I said above, they did NOT last long!! Seriously, they went fast. The three flavors I got were so good! They were Milk Chocolate and Chocolate Creme, Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Creme and Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme. My favorite was the Milk Chocolate and Chocolate Creme center ones. Oh my goodness those were GOOD!!! My kids really enjoyed the Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Creme centered ones and my hubby liked the dark chocolate ones.
The are so silky when in your mouth and melt onto your tongue, they are sooo delicious! The center is very soft and velvety and also tastes so good! It all blends into each other leaving my mouth wanting more, which is why I ate the whole bag in the first place. There is no stopping this pregnant mama!!! Whoosh… Oh, and I also love that the chocolates are individually wrapped, so I can grab a few and throw them in my purse for a quick “me moment” on the go!
So, I want to know:
“How does it make you feel knowing you can have a delicious chocolate with 30 percent less fat than the average of the leading milk chocolates?”

They look so yummy and I love that they have fillings in the inside.
YUM those look delish!!!!
OMG, those look great! I love chocolate (LOL, well, who doesn’t, right?).
Those look yummy! It’s nice that Hershey’s has more different kinds of chocolate now (dark, white, etc.) – not that I don’t like milk chocolate, but variety is good!
They need to make a dark chocolate with mint cream. Why on earth didn’t they?
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Oh yum! Now you’ve got me craving chocolate :p I’d like to try the Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Creme
I can’t figure out if the vanilla one looks gross or yummy. I should try it lol.
They look delicious! I really like the closeup pick… seeing it made me hungry! Thanks!
Looks yummy. I cant wait to try them

Now I’m going to have to go look for these at the store! (Evil I tell ya… simply evil! But I don’t want to go to H*ll without chocolate!!!)
I love chocolate! That is my biggest weakness. Those look fantastic!
After reading this, I saw this product in a local store, and had to have them. These are delicious! I love the dark chocolate!
The dark chocolate ones sound like something I would really like,
Walgreens is having a deal on them this week so with a coupon you can get at their website you can get for FREE!!!!! YIPEE!!!!
Those look scrumptious! I’m going to have to look for them next time I go grocery shopping! I’d probably eat the whole bag too…and I’m not pregnant!
Yum – I need to get my hands on some of those.
These look really tasty! I’ll need to get a bag and stash it in a secret chocolate hiding place.
These look great…will have to try!
I keep seeing these at the store. I almost bought a bag last night. If I do go buy them I will have to hide them because they will be gone in 10 minutes in my house! lol I love the fact they have less fat and they sound so good.
Wow, 30% less fat. That’s great because we can really go through chocolate at our house. I’ll have to try this soon!
No doubt about it- makes me swoon just looking at all that scrumptious chocolate. Sigh. Wish I had some right now.
I can see myself doing the same thing – the whole bag.
I love chocolate!
It makes me feel heavenly! But also like I can enjoy my chocolate without feeling guilty! Thank you Hershey!
The best of 2 worlds…CHOCOLATE and less calories. Perfect!
i have not seen these yet!! oh my! i think i would like the chocolate with vanilla center best. i know Christmas is a ways away, but this has stocking stuffer written all over it! thanks for sharing!
I don’t think I have seen these before, but I plan on looking for them. It would be great to just grab a couple to give myself a little bit of pleasure. You can just eat a few, right?
The hard part would be deciding which flavor to try first.

I like that they are individually wrapped. I eat fewer when I have to unwrap them.
I think these would make great gifts for kids to take to their teachers on the first day of school. Each year I make up a version of a Teacher’s Survival Kit for the first day, usually something chocolate and something like a bath bomb. I don’t know how they do it, I don’t have that gene to be patient with children all day long so I like to try to let them know I appreciate what they do.
I am totally addicted to chocolate so knowing that I don’t have to have quite so much guilt is wonderful.
i love hershey’s. if i ever had to choose only one 1 chocolate to eat the rest of my life, it would be the original hershey bar
Love all chocolate! Appreciate that these are individually wrapped, which helps to cut down on splurging. Also the dark chocolate tends to satisfy me easier which lets me enjoy it just a little bit more
Wow I know I would love these-and my kids too!
mmmmm I’d love to try these!
Thanks for featuring these. I love chocolate, love Hershey’s but I have not tried these yet. I will!

I don’t blame you for eating the whole bag. Good chocolate has a way of keeping you eating until they are gone.
Oh YUM!! Less fat means I can eat TWO bags, right?
I’d love to try the Milk Chocolate and Chocolate Cream
Sweet reduction of fat! Cute photo!
The dark chocolate with chocolate cream sounds good to me!
Wow, 30% less fat than regular chocolates! That’s a lot! Not that I wouldn’t eat them if they had tons of fat anyways, haha, they look so yummy!
The milk chocolate with vanilla creme looks heavenly!
You had me at chocolate!

I’ve had these and was well on my way to eating the whole bag of vanilla creme… then I heard a voice asking if I wanted to share. Drat… my daughter caught me. And yes, of course I shared!!

Ignoring people that bother me is a big problem for me. I have to make an actual effort to ignore them, and go have fun with my family. Maybe I need a little chocolate in my life!
It would make me feel great and id have to spend less time on the treadmill..These look awesome I need to try them
these look really good..cant wait to try
These sound so good!!
Looks so good! I would love to try that!
Looks really good to me.
Those look soooo darn yummy–wanna share?
Any chocolate is good chocolate…
I love anything chocolate and these look simply divine.
I’ve heard of the simple pleasures but did not realize they were 30% less fat. That is awesome and they are now on my shopping list. Hope you are having a better week since then and congrats on expecting!!!
I did not know that Simple Pleasures were 30% less fat. Knowing I can have my chocolate without any guilt is a dream come true!

I work at a retail store and I see these every day and nearly drool – today I took the plunge. I figured it was safe because I’m dieting and these are healthier than your regular candy bar; THESE were so rich and yummy! To make matters better, with the lower fat/calories and them being on sale, I now have a go to sweet snack/pick-me-up. Thanks!
Mmm… looks good.
I feel great knowing I can have a delicious chocolate with 30 percent less fat than the average of the leading milk chocolates. I say eat as much chocolate as you want, you deserve it. ;0P
