My dog would occasionally get into a bag of Hershey kisses, he lived to be 18 years old

That's because Hershey's chocolate isn't actual chocolate, it's milk mixed with vomit.

Good to know, I'm cooking chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, I'll try your homemade substitutes per your suggestion 😁

FYI, the vomit thing is very real: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit_l_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd

I also had a childhood dog that got into a bag of Hershey's Kisses and was just fine. I'm nearly certain it's because the amount of actual cocoa in it is basically negligible.

Oh damn, I thought you were just taking the piss out of Hershey

I know, right? I always knew there was something off about Hershey's chocolate, and as soon as I learned about this it all made sense. Now I try to avoid it because once you are aware of it, it will be all you can taste lol.

Also, just not a fan of milk chocolate in general. Give me dark over milk 100% of the time.
