Hershey's Chocolate Swaps Cocoa Butter For Vegetable Oil

The high cost of just about everything has forced America's No. 1 chocolate maker to swap one of its key ingredients to something cheaper.

A check of Hershey's wrappers shows the company has removed cocoa butter from many of its candies and replaced it with less expensive vegetable oil.

Cocoa butter is what gives chocolate its creamy flavor. Critics said it may save the company money, but it also cost the products their distinctive taste.
