Food Network Show Features Hersheypark September 27

Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey’s After Dark Premieres Tonight

The Sweetest Place On Earth is the star of the show this Halloween season as a new show premieres TONIGHT!

Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey’s After Dark makes its debut on Food Network Monday, September 27 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT.

Officially announced last month by Food Network, Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey’s After Dark is a new four-episode series featuring skilled pastry chefs who enter Hersheypark after dark to create mind-bending chocolate showpieces to compete for a year's supply of Hershey’s candy, a Hersheypark vacation and a $10,000 cash prize.

Host Sunny Anderson challenges contestants to take chocolate creations to the next level, using Hershey favorites such as Reese’s Pieces and TWIZZLERS Twists within Hershey’s largest candy store, Chocolate World while riding coasters and completing challenges in Hersheypark. And once the clock runs out, judges Ralph Attanasia and Maneet Chauhan determine which contestant masterfully molded their favorite Hershey treats into a true work of art, crowning a champion at the end of each episode.
