Dark Chocolate: Nestle vs. Hershey's

I am a chocolate lover. No question about that.

There is no better snack then a handful of Hershey's Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolate Chips. But they have to be cold. I try to keep a bag at the ready in the refigerator at all times.

Recently the local Walmart was sold out so I tried Nestle Toll House All Natural Dark Chocolate Morsels as a replacement.

So how do they compare?

Nutrition Facts for a 1 tbsp serving size:

- Hershey's: 70 calories (40 calories from fat)
- Nestle: 70 calories (45 calories from fat)

- Hershey's: 4.5 g total fat
- Nestle: 5 g total fat

- Both have 3 g saturated fat
- Both have 0 g trans fat

- Hershey's: 5 mg sodium
- Nestle: 0 mg sodium

- Hershey's: 9 g total carbohydrates
- Nestle: 8 g total carbohydrates

- Both have 1 g dietary fiber

- Hershey's: 8 g sugars
- Nestle: 6 g sugars

- Both have <1 g protein

Which chocolate do I think tastes better? No comparison. The Hershey's Special Dark wins easily!
