Question:

What is the brand of the natural cocoa powder that you use?

— Rozanne R-P

Answer:

I had bought some at Penzeys. We have a Penzeys Spice store in Philadelphia. I know Trader Joe's has a natural cocoa powder as well. We know, most of us, many of us know Hershey's has a natural cocoa powder, but I don't use Hershey's, so therefore I would use Penzeys or Trader Joe's, and that's only some.
