Not that the Hershey's Chocolate wouldn't taste wonderful (as long as you don't look at it

); it's just that 'these' aren't "nuggets"! I think a better word would be "blocks," don't you?

Maybe they were thinking of the gold nuggets. Well, I really don't know but I really love Hershey's and their "nuggets",

Oh, of course. But they don't LOOK like nuggets. They look more like chocolate "ingots" ... but maybe that word (chocolate ingots, anyway) is trademarked by another company.

@mythociate Good point. Here, we also use nuggets to refer to bite-sized. So maybe that's one more reason.

These are definitely not nuggets! But then again, 'nuggets' are for chunks of something. Well, maybe they're trying to achieve something there. But clearly, what I have in mind for nuggets are definitely not what they have in mind.

Another acceptable name (tho probably not "legal," as another company 'owns' the name) would've been "Legos."
