submitted by Michelle - 9 months ago
A: Great question, Michelle! Hershey’s Natural Unsweetened Cocoa can be used in recipes calling for baking chocolate when making rich chocolate desserts. However, we don’t recommend substituting cocoa for baking chocolate in candies, pie fillings, puddings, or coatings, as the results won’t be the same. Thanks for checking!

Been using this brand for years! It has the best taste, don't be tempted to buy off brands because they're less money, you will taste the difference!

Dairy free!!
This is seriously the best way to make chocolate milk! I loveee the cocoa flavor and I love that it’s so easy to use for baking as well! Just adds a little flavor and doesn’t have to many add ins!
Do you want to take your homemade iced coffee up a notch or two? Add a scoop of Hershey's Cocoa 100% Cocoa Natural Unsweetened powder and use your frother to mix it in well. It helps to make a plain iced coffee a delightful chocolatey breakfast treat. I also use the cocoa powder to make delicious homemade frosting. Had the frosting to your boxed or homemade brownies and you've got a gourmet brownie ready to serve your family or guests.

Cacao or Cocoa?
I bought this product because the package said 100% cacao which I understood to mean the raw unprocessed version of cocoa so I purchased it. Once I brought it home on the back of the package under ingredients it said cocoa. Was disappointed to feel misled.

More Than Chocolate—A Memory
Hershey's Dark Chocolate has always been special to me. I remember waking up in the early hours of the morning to the rich aroma of my dad making hot cocoa with it before heading to work. The smell would fill the house and gently wake me up. Even today, that delicious chocolate flavor brings back those comforting childhood memories. It's not just chocolate—it's nostalgia in a cup.❤️☕🍫

Perfect flavor
I found a rather unusual recipe for a chocolate pudding made from avocado, almond milk, cocoa powder and honey. I'd never baked or used cocoa powder before but decided to go with Hershey's. It was fabulous and now I'm excited about adding it to smoothies and my coffee. Delicious and mixed smoothly. BTW, the pudding came out great!

Delicious and versatile nothing beats it.
I love this product so much. I do a lot of baking and it’s always being added to cookies and cakes. Nothing beats the taste of adding it to a recipe it mixes in well and you can’t beat the deep rich taste. It is a staple for making the best hot chocolate as well.

I feel good about using Hershey's Cocoa in my iced
Yum! I love to use my Hershey Cocoa in my iced coffee with a little bit of oat milk, heavy whipping cream and a sweetener. It really takes homebrewed coffee up a notch. I use it to make a delicious chocolate milk when I'm in a hurry too. Also Hershey Cocoa is perfect for baking. I use it in my family's favorite "Aunt Faye Brownies" recipe. I feel good about using Hershey's Cocoa because it's 100% cocoa that is naturally unsweetened. It's easy to find Hershey cocoa in the store as the packaging hasn't changed very much over the years (brown background with silver lettering and horizontal stripe).
