PLANO, Texas, Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cold winter nights
just got cozier, thanks to Pizza Hut and its all-new
Hershey's Hot Chocolate Brownie available for a limited-time
starting today, November 16.
Available while supplies last, the Hershey's Hot Chocolate
Brownie is packed with three types of genuine Hershey's
products – Hershey's Cocoa, Hershey's Semi-Sweet
Chocolate Chips and Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate
chips – and topped with real Hershey's Chocolate Syrup and
heaps of fluffy mini marshmallows for just $6.99.
"The holidays are already an exciting and special time for
families all around the country, and the new Hershey's Hot
Chocolate Brownie from Pizza Hut can make this time of the year
even more special," said Jared
Drinkwater, vice president of marketing, Pizza Hut. "Whether
you just wrapped up a long day of shopping with family, or spent
hours playing in the snow with friends, the Hershey's Hot
Chocolate Brownie is the perfect way to bring everyone
together."
The eight-inch Hershey's Hot Chocolate Brownie has
approximately 120 mini marshmallows, more than 100 chocolate chips
on top and baked inside and is the newest exclusive dessert
offering in partnership with Hershey. Other Hershey desserts
available only at Pizza Hut include the Ultimate Hershey's
Chocolate Chip Cookie, Hershey's Chocolate Dunkers and
Hershey's Triple Chocolate Brownie.
"Hershey's chocolate has been an iconic staple in
American culture for over 100 years. We are proud to continue our
partnership with Pizza Hut and deliver new, innovative and
delicious ways for consumers to enjoy our chocolate products," says
Herb Ring, director foodservice, The
Hershey Company.
"They are the chocolate experts, and we felt it was very
important to serve genuine Hershey's Chocolate in our
desserts," said Drinkwater.
Always the innovator, the Hershey's Hot Chocolate Brownie
is only the latest product news to come from Pizza Hut. Just last
week, Pizza Hut launched the three-tier, holiday-themed Triple
Treat Box which includes two medium one-topping pizzas (available
on Hand Tossed, Thin N' Crispy® or Pan), an order of breadsticks or
flavor sticks and a Hershey's Ultimate Chocolate Chip
Cookie, all for just $19.99.
In addition, earlier this year Pizza Hut announced the removal
of artificial flavors and colors from its core pizzas, the first
national pizza company to make that commitment. The company also
has the busiest website in the pizza category at www.pizzahut.com.
Pizza Hut received the first-ever online order and was the first
brand in the category to launch a pizza-ordering App. The company
has also tested ways for customers to track and follow their
delivery driver all the way to their door through proprietary
GPS-like tracking built into the driver experience.
"We are maniacally focused on our customers and providing them
with the best-tasting, most-flavorful food possible while at the
same time demonstrating a world-class experience during each and
every visit," said Drinkwater.
Pizza Hut has more than 6,300 locations nationwide. The
Hershey's Hot Chocolate Brownie is available at
participating locations beginning November
16. For more information, visit www.pizzahut.com.
