The best American chocolates are the ones you get from bakeries TBH.

Some of my local places make amazing chocolate, but the best I ever had I ordered a box from a bakery in NY.

I can't believe I have just read what I have read.

Are you honestly telling me you have never heard of a Nestle brand? Nestle who are one of the biggest manufacturers of food and drink on the planet.

So you are telling me you cant name anything not just sweets from them?

So you have never heard of Nescaf coffee, Nesquik chocolate milk powder or any of their cereals or chocolate bars?

What country are you from?

In the US (where I am guessing the TC is from) Kit Kats are made by Hersheys as they got the license from Rowantree's Mackintosh (the original company that made Kit Kats and were taken over by Nestle in 1988) to make them, They do not get what we call Smarties in the US. In the US Smarties are a type of hard candy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties_(tablet_candy) ) I am not sure about Aero's.

So much, yes. The one I most closely associate with the brand is Crunch, but Kit Kat is probably the most well known.

Kinder Bueno is really really good

Lindt is also good, but they're mass produced, so you lose something. Swiss chocolate from a smaller producer >>>

I am a chocolate snob just like how I am with sneakers. Lindt is actually my least favorite. Far too creamy for my tastes.

Imo, the Belgians have chocolate locked up. Godiva is my go to. Their chocolate oysters are absolutely incredible. Costs like 3 bucks for one piece but they are worth it.

Imo, Swiss chocolatiers tend to have higher quality processes than Belgian ones. Even Lindt, though it doesn't taste the best, the processing of it to get that product is on point

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/7/9/AACT2jAADuQH.jpg

I have these available here in Ohio.

I love those truffles.

I can't even really do most Hershey's anymore(or most milk chocolate). I won't buy most Hershey candies.

I buy from chocolate specializing stores, or get Lindt truffles on the arte occasions I get chocolate bars.

I do still like M&Ms and Dark Chocolate Mint Kit kits though. But mostly I eat dark chocolate expresso beans as a friendly to my teeth/gut caffiene source compared to soda for when tea is not viable or won't juice me up enough.

It's chocolate but the guy who invented it wanted something that could be shipped to soldiers fighting in trenches and not be destroyed heat / weather so a lot of compromises to taste were made to get it to the durability it has.

It's best to think of it more like a chocolate flavored candy.

The FDA should ban TransFats & HFCS in foods.

Use natural sugar instead of HFCS and get rid of artificial preservatives and other artificial crap.

CassandraCroft posted...
Here in Britain where I live we do not stuff our chocolate and sweets (candy) with High Froctose Corn Syrup, artificial colourings, preservatives and other crap that the FDA allows in American food and drink or do not put in parafin wax into our chocolate which is what the Americans do as that acts like a congealing agent.
I concur, all that junk needs to be removed from our foods.

No you haven't eaten British or Cadbury's chocolate. What you have eaten is an abomination made by Hersheys.

Like with Kit Kats Hersheys owns the license to produce Cadbury's products in the US. So they are made using that dog shit that the Americans call chocolate.

Do yourself a favour and go and find an import shop or import site and go and buy some REAL British chocolate. Go and get a Mars Galaxy or a proper Cadbury's Dairy Milk and you will see just how utterly fantastic British chocolaate is to that American crap.

You came out of a rock? Lindt is everywhere in the u.s... And American Halloween candy bar chocolate is low tier in comparison. U.S. does have Ghirardelli though, which is owned by Lindt now.

They're not terrible, but American chocolates are milk chocolate and lower in cacao while having a lot more sugar.

Chocolate oysters eh? Are they anything like guylian chocolate seashells?

I tried looking for them in stores the past few days but couldn't find any Godiva oysters. That being said I tried a Godiva chocolate bar instead and... it wasn't as good as you were building up. There's a weird taste to it. Its good, it's just not nearly as good as the other recs I've tried so far

It is a well known fact that American candy and chocolate is amongst the worst in the world. Not just my opinion but from everyone outside America who has eaten it.
This is a meme, I've had japanese candy and it was all identical to American equivalents. Chocolate snobbery in general is actually, as long as it's dark enough it's most definitely good. It's like pizza in that way.

Anyway yeah Lindt is pretty good, I think I might prefer Ghirardelli though, their 86% bars are perfect

This is the best chocolate btw:
