Our take on the Hershey's Kisses Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolate, 5 lb Bulk Bag

Hershey's Kisses Special Dark are individually wrapped dark chocolate drops in the brand's signature purple foil. They sit between true dark chocolate and milk chocolate: mildly sweet, with a smooth cocoa flavor rather than the bitterness of high-cacao bars. The 5 lb bulk bag holds roughly 500 pieces, which suits candy bowls, party favors, gift bags and baking. Compared with Hershey's classic milk chocolate Kisses they are less sweet and more cocoa-forward; against real dark chocolate they are milder and creamier, so they please a wide crowd rather than dark-chocolate purists.

Questions and answers

Is Special Dark the same as regular dark chocolate?
No. Special Dark is a mildly sweet dark chocolate, milder and creamier than most dark chocolate bars. It has more cocoa flavor than milk chocolate Kisses but is not a high-cacao product.
How many pieces are in the bag?

Can I use them for baking and melting?
Yes. They melt for drizzling and work as a topping or mix-in. Buyers commonly use them in cookies and desserts.
How should I store them?
Keep the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sun. Warm storage softens the chocolate and makes the foil stick.
Are they individually wrapped?
