But fear not, you can still try one because the candy bar is trying to make a comeback after a period with no marketing support. In an attempt to do so, Hershey has recruited millennial marketers to help spread the love.

The essential five ingredients that define a Take 5 bar are: chocolate, pretzels, peanuts, caramel and peanut butter. This cream cheese spread replicates the sweetness and saltiness of the underrated candy bar.
