Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa 8 Ounce Can

ByM. HillTOP 100 REVIEWERon July 2, 2016

This unsweetened Special Dark cocoa is much darker and richer than the same brand’s regular variety. The difference is obvious both visually and in the flavor. Comparing the nutritional breakdown the two varieties are virtually identical with the only difference being the regular cocoa has no sodium while the special dark has 65mg. Fat grams, calories, fiber, protein, etc. are all a match.

To test the taste I made two batches of my favorite brownies using both types of Hershey’s cocoa. The Special Dark brownies are so dark they are almost black. And flavor-wise, they definitely have a more pronounced chocolate taste. While delicious, the brownies made with regular cocoa are definitely less intense. After baking the texture of the two batches was identical – moist and fudgy.

The other adult preferred the Special Dark version to the ones I normally bake with the regular cocoa, and I agree. But, if more of a milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate fan, stick to the original because the dark cocoa packs quite a serious chocolate punch whether used in smoothies, sauces, hot cocoa or baking.
