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.

    Add Hershey's Cocoa 100% Cocoa Natural Unsweetened powder to iced coffee

    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.

The value is excellent for the amount you get, and a little goes a long way. The performance is amazing—it blends smoothly into drinks and recipes, giving a rich, deep chocolate flavor. The instructions are simple and easy to follow, even for beginners. Overall, it’s a high-quality product that delivers great results every time.
