Hershey's Cocoa, Special Dark, 8-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)
- Intensify and enrich your desserts
- Traditional Dutch processing techniques
- Adds rich chocolate flavor
- Quiet dark like an Oreo cookie
A premium cocoa that adds rich chocolate flavor to any recipe. Crafted using traditional dutch processing techniques, the smooth and sophisticated taste will intensify and enrich your desserts. Dark chocolate, also known as sweet or semi-sweet chocolate, typically has a higher percentage of cacao solids than milk chocolate. Dutch process cocoa will not react to baking soda and so it can only be used with recipes that call for baking powder. In general, its taste usually is lighter and sweeter and has less bitter or sour notes. Hershey's Special Dark, however, is intensely, quietly dark, like an Oreo cookie.

I was between the Girardelli (I don’t know if that’s how you spell it) and this Hershey’s Cocoa Special Dark. I had tried Girardelli’s powdered cocoa before and remember the first time I tried it as hot chocolate I thought to myself it’s ok but nothing amazing so this time I bought the Hersheys. The first thing I noticed is the almost black-gray color when you mix it into the hot milk with barely a trace of brown. That didn’t seem too appetizing but I prefer it to having artificial colors added. From the first sip the taste was amazing! One of those situations where you just can’t put the cup down and keep taking small sips even though this liquid was steaming hot. I made it with powdered milk (0 fat) raw sugar, and a quarter teaspoon of salt. The dark chocolate taste is amazingly full and satisfying. When I started to drink this I thought I might get a stomach-ache since it looked so dark but not at all (Used a very heaping teaspoon)

Although this cocoa is called Special Dark, it isn’t the same Special Dark cocoa of a few years ago. The previous Special Dark was 100% Dutched Cocoa, while the current Special Dark is a blend of Dutched and Natural Cocoas, so it isn’t as dark or as strong as the previous one. It is very good and has a pleasant fruity taste as compared to the more bitter and richer cocoa taste of its predecessor. Initially I preferred the previous Special Dark, but am getting used to the new blend. The price is very good.

I make some pretty killer brownies, that always draw requests for the recipe whenever I make them. A little while back I tried making them with Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa and it really pushed my brownies to a decadent level. Ever since I finished my last container, I’ve been scouring the local groceries in search of some more, and had just about giving up on ever finding it again. What a surprise to find it on Amazon–I’m thrilled!

Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa is wonderful! Amazon brought it right to our doorstep as the grocery stores in So. Calif. don’t seem to carry it.
It is rich and dark…..yum!

I ordered this product for cocoa-antioxidants that do body good. To my surprize when I received the order, the product’s cans indicated that this cocoa’s antioxidants were fewer than its cousin product-Hershey’s Cocoa, Natural, Unsweetened. Had this fact been described in the promotion ad, I would not have ordered Hershey’s Cocoa, Special Dark.
