Hershey's is pretty awful these days. I'm into very dark chocolate these days as the sugar content is very low. Actually dark chocolate is very good for you - practically a health food due to all the micronutrients and antioxidants. But Hershey's version of dark chocolate still has over 20 grams of added sugar per serving. You might as well have a donut.
A decent dark chocolate is at least 85% cacao and contains 5 grams of sugar or less. This Lindt dark chocolate is 90% cacao and contains 2.8 grams of sugar per serving. I freeze it and let it melt in my mouth. Goes great with black coffee or red wine.

I notice the word Easter is missing on the wrapper. No problem, I never liked them anyway.

I get the German stuff out of Aldis. I forget the name. They do it right, 90% cacao. Very little sugar.

A lot of stuff made in the U.S.A. has artificial ingredients that simply taste awful. Worst was when they stopped using cane sugar and substituted corn sucrose and artificial sweeteners. The foreign stuff is still made the old fashioned way.

I have to sing the praises of Lindt.....their factory is in Stratham New Hampshire. Worth a trip from anywhere!
I think the Lake Champlain dark is superior. And Whole Foods [at least my store] carries a good selection.
To die for, is their Spicey Aztec
