Svetl/iStock/Getty Images Nutritional information for Hershey's special dark miniatures--the fun size of the Hershey bar--is made available on both the product packaging and the company website. Hershey's dark chocolate is created with a combination of chocolate liquor, cocoa butter and sugar. Dark chocolate has a less sweet taste and a less creamy texture than milk chocolate. For a chocolate to be classified as dark or semi-sweet, the cocoa butter must be at least 35 percent, which is the amount used in special dark miniatures. HistoryHershey, the unofficial king of chocolate, launched its line of chocolate miniatures--mini versions of their larger chocolate bars--in 1939. In 2006 they created miniatures of the special dark chocolate. Today you can purchase a bag of these delectably sinful chocolates in the varieties of plain, rice and peanut.

WarningHershey's dark chocolate, like all chocolates, contains theobromine, which is a stimulant in the same family as caffeine, and it works as a diuretic.

A 1.45 oz. bar of Hershey's dark chocolate contains 184 mg of theobromine. MisconceptionsThat chocolate gives you acne is a myth that has been around for decades; however, acne comes from bacteria and occurs from an increase in hormones. Hormones overwork glands, thus making them increase oil production and open up pores, which allows bacteria to get in and cause acne. Chocolate has stimulants, but none that increase pore size or create bacteria.
