The use of other oils and fats alters the nutritional value of the chocolate. Much of the beneficial nutrients found in chocolate comes from the cocoa butter. Other fats make the chocolate even less healthy than it already is. By your reasoning, if adding arsenic to Coca Cola improved the flavor, then that would be ok, too.

The changes don't go far enough. They should not be allowed to use the word "chocolate" in any form on any product that does not have actual chocolate in it." Chocolate flavored" or "chocolatey coating" are very misleading and the average consumer won't even notice the difference in the packaging.

There is a huge difference. Other oils are cheaper than cocoa butter, which is why they made the switch, but the nutritional value is very different. Some of the oils and fats they use as substitutes are hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated for longer shelf life and those are the ones that contain artery clogging trans-fats so they are taking a product with documented health benefits and turning it a deadly poison.

If it was the same chocolate like what Lindt sells in their bars, nobody would be able to afford to buy it. The whole point of Hershey's is that it is chocolate that everybody can afford, but it was still real chocolate with cocoa powder and cocoa butter as the primary ingredients. This new stuff they are passing off as chocolate has the cocoa butter substituted with a cheaper fat of dubious nutritional value. I am guessing they only did this with their fringe products that don't make up a large percentage of their sales. It was either that or discontinue them altogether as the cost to keep producing them would soon eat up all the profits. I don't eat any of the products that are affected by this, so I don't really care but fans of those products may be disappointed. I only eat the original Hershey Bar, Hershey with Almonds, and Special Dark and they still have real chocolate. They don't have the high concentrations of cocoa powder that premium brands like Lindt have, but they are still the real thing. I'll be checking all the chocolate labels for oils and fats that shouldn't be in there from now on, though, just to keep them honest.

What we obtain too cheap we esteem too little; it is dearness only that gives everything value.

read the label. M&M's is not pure chocolate inside--it has a good percentage of peanuts in it.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Good thing that they're still in business. I just hope that chocolate companies as well as other business that are hurting in the recent economic recession would quickly and fully recover from its choking grasp. We shouldn't focus on the forceful change that companies undergo, but rather have high hopes for them in getting back to the best that they once were.

Indeed the company is very resourceful, instead of stop producing the product they had found new way or alternative way to make it.

Not only are chocolates yummy and healthy, they are also aphrodisiacs that give us energy. We could just keep our fingers crossed and hope that Hershey's and other chocolate manufacturers recover from the economic crisis and get back to their gleaming luster.

The removal of cocoa butter violates the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s definition of milk chocolate, so subtle changes have appeared on the labels of the Hershey’s products with altered recipes.

If the Hershey's products still used cocoa butter but tasted worse, that would be cause for complaint. If they substituted vegetable oil and consequently tasted better, that'd be cause for celebration. This is only cause for indifference.

It is only understandable that the company resorted to such tactics because of the economy's harsh status. Let's just pray that the company, as well as other businesses that have been gravely affected by the recession will fully recover soon.
