Hershey Spreads

I was selected as one of the lucky few to taste test one of the new Hershey Spreads.  Due to hit shelves tomorrow, the spreads come in chocolate, chocolate with almond, and chocolate with hazelnut.  I was sent chocolate with hazelnut and couldn't wait to give it a try.
I am one of the very few people who have never had a chocolate spread before.  I'm also one of those people who simply cannot eat anything sweet in the morning.  So I was looking more forward to trying it as a dessert rather than on toast or as a midday snack.
I first tried it on its own, just having a spoonful.  It was way too sweet.  You could definitely tell it was made up of Hershey chocolate because it had that wonderful taste, but there was something else in it that made it too sweet to enjoy.  I decided to try it with something else...the next day.
I put a spoonful on a homemade sugar cookie.  Much better.  But still, that one spoonful went a long way and any more than that was too sweet.  I also tried it on toast and pretzels, but could only use a small amount.
Personally, I feel like it's too sweet for me, though the taste is great.  But if you have a major sweet tooth Hershey spreads are definitely for you.
