Chocolate bars are a classic treat: sweet and creamy, with a bit of bitterness. But for Lauren Davis, chocolate bars are a blank canvas, to be transformed from something familiar into something new and surprising.
Davis is a food scientist at the Hershey Company in Pennsylvania. She isn’t shy about why she chose this career, either.
“I became a food scientist because of my love of chocolate,” says Davis. That love is now put to work developing new flavors for Hershey’s Bars, Kit Kats, and more.
