Q: Can I use this in place of unsweetened baking chocolate, or is it not the same thing?

submitted by Michelle - 27 days 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!

    Pure, unsweetened cacao — very bitter on its own,

    I tried Hershey’s 100% Cacao knowing it would be intense, and it definitely is. This is pure cacao with no sugar, so it’s very bold and bitter — not something I’d snack on straight. That said, it works really well when used intentionally. I liked melting a small amount into hot drinks or using it in recipes where I could control the sweetness. The quality feels solid, and it’s nice to have an option with no added sugar for baking or healthier recipes. This is best for people who enjoy strong dark chocolate flavors or use cacao as an ingredient rather than a treat.

    Good packaging!

    This is the only cocoa powder I buy, it’s a pretty standard cocoa powder. I like that the packaging is rectangular, it’s more practical than round cans for sticking in measuring cups.

    Delicious & rich

    Hershey’s Natural Unsweetened Cocoa is a classic, no-frills cocoa powder with a rich, slightly bitter chocolate flavor. It works especially well in baking, giving desserts a deep cocoa taste and nice color. Great if you want full control over sweetness and a reliable, everyday cocoa.

    Love this cocoa powder. It’s great for baking and other stuff. I use this for my cocoa needs like drinking hot cocoa or adding it to my no bake recipes. It’s a soft powder like any other cocoa powder.

    Excellent chocolate flavor and never clumpy.

    This is my “go-to” cocoa powder! It is always fresh and delicious when I mix it in my recipes. It is never clumpy. It always has the chocolate taste we look forward to in our dessert.

    Why are bag???

    I love your product and have been using it for years. In this last year, the container of cocoa powder is missing and now it is replaced with a zip bag instead of the hard container. This makes using your product messy. Please bring back the hard container.
