submitted by Michelle - 5 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.

    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.

    Rich flavor, great value, and easy to use—perfect

    This cocoa powder has become a staple in my kitchen. The packaging is sturdy and keeps the product fresh, and I love how easy it is to store without making a mess. 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.

    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).

    Gets the job done.

    This is my go too cocoa powder for baking, making hot chocolate or just sprinkling in my latte in the morning. I primarily use for baking when making chocolate baked goods from scratch. Tastes as expected: bitter, but it’s supposed to. I love the chocolatey flavor it adds to cakes and frosting.

    Standard. Reliable.

    Dark chocolate aftertaste. Strong and great for baking. Good ingredients. Gets the job done and flavors baked goods. Smells like a brownie and dusts well over cupcake icing.

    New Cocoa is notably lighter in color and taste

    I used the new Hershey's cocoa powder for a recipe I have made for 40 years. Have always used this brand but never again. It was noticeably lighter in color and the taste was seriously lacking. Looked it up and they also started using vegetable oil, (which is a chemically made product), instead of regular cocoa butter. I'm so sad, have to start looking for a substitute.

    Cocoa Great But Packaging Inadequate

    The cocoa itself is great but the packaging was really bad. The jars were just dumped in a box without any cushioning so they jumbled around during shipment and several plastic tops came off, Fortuneately the inner paper seals remained intact so loose cocoa didn't pour out. Also, the package itself was falling apart with the tape along several seams was split.

    The best coca powder

    This is the best and has a noticeable difference from off brands. Always always choose this option if you’re baking. It tastes the best in chocolate cookies. Perfect for hot cocoa or chocolate milk too. Shelf life is long so grab the bigger size.

    one of the best cocoa powders!

    this is one of the best when it comes to powdered cocoa. i like to sift some on top of my drinks sometimes to give them that aesthetic look. but i do notice that it can be a little bitter if used that way. otherwise it is a very good product!
