Hershey's Chocolate Bars

Hershey's Chocolate is an old American favorite made in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

This chocolate comes in many different varieties and varies in caffeine content based on the amount of cacao the chocolate contains.

Hershey's chocolate in general is processed and high of sugar, however, they have recently been branching out into marketing organic brands as well as those with higher cacao percentages.
