aren't chocolates in Europe 1000X better than in the US?

Question

chocolate in America has too much sugar and much less cocoa. even the cheapest candy bar in a European market was better than hersheys.

Answer 1

no



2000X

Where i was in america hersheys was the dominant chocolate and they even had hersheys version of our chocolate like a cadburys twirl. it was still cadburys but when i ate it i could tell it was hersheys chocolate and nuthin like brittish cadbrys.

So to sum it up american chocolate suxs

Answer 2

To my taste, for the most part yes, but it depends on the country.

On the other hand, American chocolate is made to mass American taste, as most defined by Hershey a hundred years ago (NPR's "On Point" show had an interesting program about the history of this a couple of months ago).

My biggest gripe is how American companies, except for a few artisans, will not make European style chocolate for the part of the marketplace that much prefers it. Well, maybe now that European style butters made in the USA are becoming more popular the
chocolate makers will take a hint.

Answer 3

I agree, Ann. European chocolate is much better than in America. I try to buy European chocolate whenever I can get it.

Answer 4

ABSOLUTELY!!! here the chocolate is like wax, lots of fat and no taste. If you want true chocolate have some Belgian or Russian chocolates, preferably semi-dark or dark.

Answer 5

My wife, who is Russian, certainly agrees. She won't eat milk chocolate. Has to be dark chocolate and the darker the better.

Answer 6

i think becsuse a lot of those countries are known for chocolate

Answer 7

I don't know, but probably not 1000X better.

Answer 8

Oh YES. I love those orange kit kats. You can't find them anywhere in the U.S.
