Vegans who miss the classic Reese’s peanut butter cup, which is made with dairy products, have reason to celebrate. The Hershey Co. has begun making plant-based Reese’s peanut butter cups and Hershey’s bars with almonds and sea salt.

If you’re wondering what’s different, each of these treats is made with oats instead of dairy. Hershey’s vegan peanut butter cups begin sales this month, while the vegan Hershey’s chocolate bar debuts in April.
