Hershey's Special Dark is dark chocolate, not cocoa.

Just checked Hersey's web site. They say Special Dark is indeed cocoa.
I'm thinking that may be the way to go.

If he had bothered to look at the image I provided, he would have
known that it was cocoa.

You and that other yabo are correct, I did not look at the linked
image, and when I read "Hershey's Special DarK I automatically assumed
it meant my fave Hershey's dark chocolate bars. Not cocoa, which I had
never heard of before. Until now.

I have used it and like it, but I think I will try the suggestion of
mixing it with regular cocoa because it's really intense.
