Can I use regular Hershey's cocoa? If so do I need to change anything in the recipe?

Regular Hershey's cocoa is NOT Dutched. You can use it but it might be a bit acidic. You can also Dutch it yourself with instructions from Spruce Eats:

OR
Hershey's Special Dark IS Dutched. Personally, I can't tell the difference between them as far as acid vs no acid.
