In celebration of the July 4th holiday, Hershey introduced a special variation of their Cookies ‘N’ Creme product, featuring a distinctive red, white, and blue wrapper. This commemorative edition was repeated in honor of Independence Day in 2021. Notably, the packaging underwent a transformation from its original all-white design to a cream-colored appearance, adorned with subtle blue accents along the packaging's sides.{{cite web |last1=Fitzpatrick |first1=Caitlyn |date=10 May 2021 |title=Hershey's Red, White & Blue Cookies 'n' Creme Bar Will Make the Most Patriotic S'mores |url=https://www.bestproducts.com/lifestyle/a36387502/hersheys-red-white-and-blue-cookies-n-creme-bar/ |website=Best Products |publisher=Hearst Magazine Media, Inc.}} Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme holds a unique position as one of the select Hershey's chocolate offerings available for purchase in the United Kingdom.

In 2008, The Hershey Company changed the ingredients of some of its products in order to replace the relatively expensive cocoa butter with oil substitutes.{{cite web |title=Chocoholics sour on new Hershey's formula |url=https://www.today.com/food/chocoholics-sour-new-hersheys-formula-2D80555560 |website=TODAY.com |language=en}} As a result, the packaging no longer states that the bar contains white chocolate.{{cite web |title=Cookies 'n' Creme Showdown - Candy Blog |url=http://www.candyblog.net/blog/item/cookies_n_creme_showdown |website=www.candyblog.net |access-date=6 December 2021}}
