Sweet Hershey, PA Treats to Celebrate National Dessert Day

It's hard to avoid indulging while you're in Hershey, PA. But, why would you even WANT to avoid it? Hershey is the "town built on chocolate" and has a sweet history. Between our restaurants and Hersheypark, you're sure to find a treat to please your palate.

The Hotel Hershey

Earlier this year The Hotel Hershey welcomed Chef's Market, an all-day café featuring an array of tasty offerings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack time. On a daily basis, Chef Cher and her team of talented pastry chefs create masterpieces that are showcased at Chef's Market. From chocolatey treats, handmade gelato (yes, handmade onsite at The Hotel!), carrot cake slices, cupcakes, cookies and so much more, it's a feast for the eyes.

Also not to be missed are the desserts at Harvest, including "Ooey Gooey" Cookie Pie and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake!

Sweet treats can also be found on the Trevi 5 and room service menus. And if you like your sweets with a bite, try one of our Signature Hershey's Martinis at Iberian Lounge, including the new Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Martini!

Hershey Lodge

All the restaurants across Hershey Lodge feature sweet treats including Skillet S'mores Fondue at Fire & Grain, Take 5 Banana Tart at Revelry and ice cream treats at Cocoa Beanery and Cocoa Cabana. The Bears' Den, Hershey Grill and room service have Hershey-inspired desserts as well, so there's no missing out!  

Hersheypark

Hersheypark is open every weekend this month for Hersheypark In The Dark! Sweet experiences include:

• Family-friendly rides and coasters, including night rides on Candymonium and lights-out rides on Laff Trakk, Lightning Racer, Wildcat, and Comet.
