The four-episode series, produced in partnership with Hershey&#8217;s, premieres Monday, September 27th @ 10PM ET\/PT on the Food Network, and is hosted by Sunny Anderson, who challenges the brave and talented pastry artists to create the most mind-bending chocolate showpieces. It is part of Food Network&#8217;s biggest Halloween lineup yet &#8212; featuring over 36 hours of Halloween-themed programming.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey&#8217;s After Dark<\/em> combines two of my all-time passions, going to amusement parks and creating art with food,&#8221; added Anderson. &#8220;I cannot wait to share these amazing chocolate displays with viewers, featuring some of the most talented pastry chefs on the planet.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-1694963820\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Created by Milton S. Hershey over 115 years ago, Hersheypark in Hershey, Pa., is a 121-acre amusement park featuring three parks in one with more than 70 rides, a full water park, and a zoo attracting families to the one-of-a-kind destination. And this September, three pastry chefs are locked inside the amusement park after-hours without a soul in sight, and in each hour-long episode, they must solve clues and brave the thrilling rides to use Hershey&#8217;s sweets for their colorful and spectacular creations before the night is over. Working at breakneck speed with the help of just an assistant within Hershey&#8217;s largest candy store, Chocolate World, the competitors race against the clock as judges Ralph Attanasia (Food Network&#8217;s <em>Buddy vs. Duff<\/em>) and Maneet Chauhan (Winner, Tournament of Champions) keep a watchful eye to determine who was the most successful at molding chocolate and spinning sugar into works of art. The winner of each episode earns a year&#8217;s supply of Hershey&#8217;s candy, a Hersheypark vacation, and a cash prize.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This brand-new series, the first ever to film overnight inside Hersheypark and Hershey&#8217;s Chocolate World, is a viewer&#8217;s ultimate Halloween fantasy brought to life,&#8221; said Courtney White, President, Food Network and Streaming Food Content, Discovery Inc. &#8220;Our partnership with the iconic candy brand and the show&#8217;s no-holds-barred access to rides, sweets, and everything Hershey, Pa. offers, makes <em>Chocolate Meltdown: Hershey&#8217;s After Dark<\/em> an addictive new highlight to our supersized Halloween lineup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the premiere episode, the competitors prove themselves with inspired takes on a Creepy Crawly Carnival. After running through the park on a chilly and rainy night, the pastry artists take a spin on one of the park&#8217;s most dizzying rides. Back in Chocolate World, a self-taught and gravity-defying cake artist quickly runs into problems, forcing them to adjust the design on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a sugar artist almost loses a battle against a 33-pound slab of dark chocolate, and a sculpting enthusiast uses enough Hershey&#8217;s candy to empty the whole store. Other episodes include the pastry chefs using Reese&#8217;s Pieces and Almond Joy candies to create a Scary Sci-Fi chocolate showpiece. And the competitors have their work cut out for them as they create Frightful Forest-themed chocolate displays incorporating Twizzlers Twists and York Peppermint Patties.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3438680186\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>For more than a century, The Hershey Company has been a candy innovator with over 90 iconic brands around the world, including Hershey&#8217;s, Reese&#8217;s, Kit Kat(R), Jolly Rancher, and more, driving billions in annual revenue while also building meaningful and inclusive connections within the community.
