Artifact Overview
After Milton Hershey established his chocolate company in 1894, he was determined to produce milk chocolate -- considered a luxury item -- for the masses at an affordable price. In 1900, the classic Hershey bar was introduced, quickly becoming a sensation. As additional chocolate products emerged, the company produced recipe booklets, like this one, for using Hershey's products in a variety of confections.
