Soft, Chewy Caramel. Milton S. Hershey, the man behind the Hershey's milk chocolate bar, successfully began his candy making career with caramels in Lancaster, Pa., more than 100 years ago. With Hershey's Classic Caramels, we return to this tradition with a high quality caramel candy that is smooth, chewy and delicious. Hershey's Classic Caramels are available in two varieties. We hope you enjoy Hershey's Classic Caramels.
