Fourth to only milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white creme flavor, Hershey’s is introducing its newest flavor.

Gold.

The gold bar is made from caramelized creme, peanuts and pretzels.

The chocolate company announced the new flavor Tuesday, Nov. 1 in celebration of their official sponsorship of the United States Olympic Committee and Team USA, according to a release.

“The debut of our fourth flavor, Hershey’s Gold, was an opportunity to commemorate this golden occasion with The Games, an iconic cultural moment for consumers, Team USA and The Hershey Company to share together,” the release states.

While the Olympics don’t start for 99 more days, you can get your hands on this gold bar in stores starting Dec. 1.
