Talk about a sweet gesture.

A line of DC Comics superhero chocolate bars is coming, but before you can get your hands on them, Hershey’s is first giving them out to workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.

Superheroes that will be celebrated on the wrapper and whose crests will be stamped on the chocolate include Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern — but the candy company knows they’re no match for real-life heroes.

“We are sending pallets of the new bars to various frontline heroes like hospitals, police stations, fire houses,” a Hershey’s spokeswoman told the Daily News. “We’ve focused on some of the areas hit the hardest by COVID-19 like New York, Louisiana, Philly and more.”

Philadelphia’s Temple University Hospital, which has reportedly been treating more COVID-19 patients than any hospital in the region, recently received a shipment of the tasty treats, and more are on the way to other essential workers.

“About half the pallets have been delivered/shipped and we are waiting on address confirmation for the others but plan to deliver ASAP,” the Hershey’s spokeswoman told the News.

If you’re craving the superhero sweets, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to indulge. The milk chocolate bars will be available at retailers nationwide this summer, but only for a limited time.

  1. What have the healthcare and emergency service workers done to deserve having Hershey inflicted on them? They should be given something nice, such as real chocolate.
