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.
