SnackSwapperThe honest verdict
Is Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar Actually Healthy?
The classic Hershey's bar is 220 calories and 24g of sugar, and milk chocolate is always more sugar than cocoa: sugar is the first ingredient. Darker chocolate flips that ratio, delivers more actual chocolate flavor per bite, and tends to end the craving sooner. This is the rare swap where the upgrade tastes like more, not less.
