    My childhood "invention" was cocoa powder stirred into Cool Whip (please don't judge me!) -- I called it "chocolate mousse" and still make it occasionally, and I'm 47. :smile:

    I use it to make chocolate peanut butter cheesecake that has around 30 grams of protein per serving and less than 350 calories in each slice with lower fat and moderate carb content. Tastes awesome!

    PLEEEEASE may I have this recipe?:)

    I put this in oatmeal and it was awful... what did I do wrong? :S

    'cause It's not like chocolate that you normailly snack on (that has sugar & cocoa butter added back in)

    Heresey's cocao powder is 100% cocoa, from the cocoa (cacao) bean. After all the cocoa butter (aka fat) is removed.
    And BEFORE sugar (aka additioanl carbs) are added.

    so if you want sweetness, you have to add your own sweetness ie sugar, honey, agave, etc.
    Yes, I'm aware of that. I never eat oatmeal without sweetener anyway, so this was in addition to that... didn't taste good at all.

    Double shot of espresso + 1 teaspoon of THIS HERSHEY'S LIFESAVING DRUG + 1 packet of stevia + 1/2 cup of frothed milk = Sugar-free mocha cappuccino that tastes better than $tarbucks.

    That sounds bomb I'm gonna make that some time. Thanks

    yummy.

    This stuff is heavenly; 1 serving (1tbsp)= 10 calories; 3g carbs, .5g fat, 1g protein, and 2g of fiber

    Mix it in oatmeal and you have chocolate oatmeal
    Mix it in protein shakes for chocolate flavor
    Use it for protein cake or other homemade protein recipes
    Use it for homemade cookies, pancakes, etc.

    Use it in just about anything


    Carries micronutrients as well. Here's an article about benefits of unsweetened cocoa if you care: http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-unsweetened-cocoa-powder-5662.html

    Just thought I'd make you aware if you weren't. Go pick this up on your next grocery run and you'll thank me

    starting in 1894, females were born knowing about this.

    Hersheys makes me want to smash my face on something. So many other, better types of chocolate and chocolate powder.
    True, but are they as cheap if you are on a broke person budget?
    If so, make me aware and I will be grateful

    I can't figure out what to do with it. It's gross. I have to dump a thousand lbs of sugar into ti to make it taste even remotely half-way decent. So, I have a whole thing of it just sitting there for years. It's absolutely disgusting. It's probably more gross tasting than nutella, if that's even possible.

    nope

    Oh my....I just had the cocoa powder in my oatmeal. Would have used splenda but we ran out so it was ol fashion sugar this morning. Wow was this yummy. Felt like eating dessert and that being said could definitely be eaten as that as well.

    I've baked with this all my life, also made hot chocolate and chocolate syrup for ice cream with it. I can't believe unsweetened cocoa powder has been a secret from anyone.

    By the way, Ghirardelli's is better.
