There are many things I want to be independent from. Chocolate is not one of them — but the calories that come with it …well, that’s another story. So, when Hershey’s sent me a free sample of their new reduced fat chocolate – I was ready to dig in.

Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates have 30 percent less fat than the average leading milk chocolates. That’s not a typo – chocolate with 30% less fat. Hershey’s wants to give you “Sweet Independence” to enjoy delicious chocolate with all the flavor, but less of the guilt. Now, I can hear what you’re thinking: “Less fat never tastes the same” But you’re in for an awesome surprise; You won’t even notice the difference.

Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates come in three decadent flavors: Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Creme, Milk Chocolate with Chocolate Creme and Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Creme. Most of the time I just skip right past the dark chocolate. I know it’s ‘better for you’ and all that jazz — but I just find it too bitter. Simple Pleasures dark chocolates broke that stereotype for me – they are sweet and not bitter at all. In fact, they are my favorite of the three flavors. The Vanilla Creme were my least favorite. To me they were a little bit too sweet. The chocolate of all three is smooth and creamy. While the individually wrapped pieces are great for taking on the go to work, on the road and more.

    I am declaring sweet independence from cleaning the pool. We took it down for a while…I know, during the summer, not such a great idea – but we’re traveling so much this summer that no one is home to use it!

    I am declaring my sweet independence by enjoying more indulgences in all the things I enjoy that may not be so great for me :-)

    Independence from constant fear due to mom’s health issues and our terrible financial situation. No matter how bad, if I’ve been living in fear I’m living through problems twice over. So deep breath and taking it one day at a time :)

    I love chocolate, especially dark so I can’t declare independence from that. I will declare independence from cookies!

    I am declaring my independence from worry. I have three teens, so it will be hard, but I am making myself a little crazy with college applications, SAT prep, AP exams, etc.!!!

    I will declare independence from over thinking.
    It has been keeping me up at night and I am over it.

    These look so good!
    I have a coupon for them too! yay!!

    I’ve seen these in the store but hadn’t bought them yet. I love keeping dark chocolate around the house (and office) though. It’s the perfect thing when you want something sweet and it’s usually not too bad for you. Thirty percent less fat makes it even better, though!

    I’m declaring my independence from uncomfortable shoes and going out to buy those Hershey’s Simple Pleasures in dark chocolate/ chocolate creme. Does 30% less fat in chocolate mean I can eat more? Maybe I need to invest in looser pants :)

    Those chocolate look great! I’m declaring my independence from stressing over the small stuff!
