The Hershey Company, formerly known as Hershey Foods Corporation, manufactures three varieties of chocolate:

• Hershey's Milk Chocolate, what many people think of as just "plain" or "normal" Hershey's chocolate. Due to its almost universal availability it is used by many as a standard with which to compare other chocolates and chocolate products.
• Hershey's Special Dark, a bittersweet chocolate which is mildly sweet, as it contains less sugar than other forms. It contains considerably more cocoa butter than other dark chocolates manufactured by other companies. It is 45% cocoa solids.
• Hershey's Symphony contains less sugar and is creamier than "normal" Hershey's chocolate. There is a considerable difference in the taste, but the ingredients lists of it and its normal counterpart are identical; in America it is mandated that ingredients only be listed in their order of total makeup. Quantities are not listed, so one can not know for sure how greatly the proportions differ in Hershey's Symphony.

The Hershey's Wellness line is an attempt to capitalize on the health benefiets of chocolate.

• Hershey's Extra Darkis a more dark chocolate product under the "Extra Dark" name. Whereas "Special Dark" is 45% cocoa solids, "Extra Dark" is 60%. The Extra Dark chocolate bar comes in three varieties: Pure Dark Chocolate; Cranberries, Blueberries and Almonds; and Macadamia Nuts and Cranberries. All of the fruits and nuts mentioned above have anti-oxidant benefiets, further increasing the benefiets of the chocolate.
• Hershey's Whole Bean Milk Chocolate is sweetened with sucralose, giving it 40% less sugar than regular milk chocolate. Also, inulin, a special type of fiber, is added, giving a single serving 7 grams of dietary fiber. A 40 g. serving has 180 mg of antioxidants.
• Hershey's Antioxidant Milk Chocolate, as the name suggests, has extra antioxidants added, giving it more antioxidants than the leading dark chocolate, 260 mg vs 110 mg.
