About PAYDAY & The Hershey Company
PAYDAY has been a staple American candy bar since 1932 — one of the few mainstream bars built around peanuts as the primary ingredient rather than chocolate. The caramel center rolled in roasted salted peanuts delivers a uniquely satisfying combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy in every bite. At 7g of protein per bar, PAYDAY stands apart for its high peanut content and protein-forward profile, making it a go-to for consumers who want a satisfying, less-sweet candy option. The Hershey Company, headquartered in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest chocolate and candy manufacturers in North America and has been producing PAYDAY since 1996.
