Heath Bars in Other Products
Following the 1973 incorporation by Steve's Ice Cream of the candy bar as an ice-cream "mix-in," Heath bars became a significant ingredient in ice cream and other confections.
Historically, variations of the bar have — according to Ray Broekel, in his 1982 book The Great American Candy Bar Book — included Heath Milk Chocolate with Peanuts, Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Crunch, Heath Milk Chocolate with Natural Cereal and Raisins, and the double Heath bar. In the 1980s, a Heath Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich appeared, along with Heath Soft ‘n Crunchy — a soft serve ice cream.
Currently, other varieties of Heath bar-based confections include Archway Cookies Heath Cookie, Heath Bar Klondike bars, Baskin-Robbins Heath Bar Shake and the Dairy Queen Heath Bar Blizzard Treat — as well as Heath Bar flavored varieties of ice cream with a coffee or vanilla ice-cream base, such as Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch.
Though the candy bar's manufacturer, L.S. Heath, and subsequently Hershey, have supported the incorporation of the candy bar in other confections by marketing a pre-shredded variety, many vendors hand crumble the candy bars, finding the pre-crumbled variety "too small and too dusty."
