ONE's Reese's and Cookies 'n' Creme flavors are the perfect mix of candy and protein bars

Before working out or after, many people search for some form of protein to energize them. A few options include protein shakes, chicken or other lean meat with vegetables, or protein bars. But as far as the last one on the list goes -- what if it was possible to enjoy the taste of your favorite candy bar in a protein bar? Now you can, as ONE Brands has collaborated with Hershey's to make this dream a reality with two unique flavors.

The partnership features Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme and Reese's Peanut Butter flavors, each containing 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

"Many peanut butter flavored protein bars exist in the world, but only ONE Brands can do it with real ingredients of Reese's peanut butter," said Bo Jones, ONE Brands brand manager via a press release provided to Guilty Eats.

If peanut butter isn't your thing, there is also the Cookies 'n' Creme one mentioned above. Like the Reese's bar, it offers the iconic taste that Hershey fans across the nation will remember with one bite. And it doesn't come with the guilt that occurs when buying a sugary chocolate bar at your local Walgreens or wherever you may purchase candy.

That said, the new collab helps those with a sweet tooth to find a new alternative. Instead of going straight to the shelf to grab a candy bar after a workout -- a protein bar inspired by the candy can replace energy while providing the taste you love.

If this sounds appealing, you can purchase both flavors on Amazon or at retailers nationwide. Oh, and it might be a good idea to use this as a reward for a hard post-workout in the gym.

All in all, whether you eat Clif Bars or Quest Bars, it is worth it to switch it up. Even more so if Hershey's is your go-to cheat snack after a sweaty workout. Now, you don't even have to cheat!
