Introducing Hershey’s Goodness Chocolate for Chocolate-loving Health Gurus

Boy, do I love chocolate. I love milk chocolate; I love dark chocolate; I love white chocolate; I love all chocolate. And that’s why it pains me to move towards the growing American trend of a healthier lifestyle. To a typical health freak, chocolate is a no-no. This means if I opt to follow the most current health guru, I will have to bid adieu to one of my greatest pleasures in life - the creamy, decadent taste of chocolate.

It should come to no surprise that I was ecstatic to hear of Hershey’s Goodness Chocolate line. Let’s all take a minute and thank Hershey’s for coming to the rescue and for re-opening our gates to chocolate heaven. If you’re someone that just loves milk chocolate (like me), then Hershey’s Antioxidant Milk Chocolate is for you. It features more flavanol antioxidants than the leading dark chocolate, while delivering the great taste of Hershey’s milk chocolate. What does this mean? Well, since dark chocolate is the “healthiest” of all chocolates, and Hershey’s Antioxidant Milk Chocolate has more of this good stuff, then one can even say Hershey’s alternative is almost (do I dare say it?) … healthy. I must admit that I was skeptical at first. In my experience, a healthier chocolate “alternative” is synonymous with HORRIBLE taste, much like drinking diet anything. Well, I put it through my strict taste test, and I experienced the same delicious creamy and smooth texture of Hershey’s milk chocolate. The fact that it boasts the health benefits of dark chocolate is just a bonus. What more could a health-conscious chocolate lover ask for?

If you’re looking for something not too sweet and not too bitter…something that is just right, then “Hershey’s Whole Bean Chocolate” is for you. This equally delicious flavor is made with the goodness of the whole cocoa bean, thus creating a mildly sweet, smooth and delicious chocolate that is lower in sugar and high in fiber and antioxidants. Of course, these delectable morsels of chocolatey goodness should still be enjoyed in moderation - it’s just too bad my definition of moderation always results in a full stomach and a spoiled dinner, but as they say, to each his (or her) own!
