I had a Hershey Bar, do people seriously like eating that stuff - it tastes like war rations! Why does US chocolate taste so different to anywhere else in the world?

I suppose because the main ingredient of this chocolate isn't chocolate but sugar. The total amout of chocolate (cocoa and cocoa butter put together) seldom rises above 35 %. In France, this stuff wouldn't even be allowed to be named chocolate.
It's so disgusting I have to make my own chocolate : I buy bittersweet or pure chocolate, I melt it with butter, sometimes cream and add sugar and yolks. I let it cool down and form truffles that I coat with unsweetened pure cocoa powder. THAT's the real stuff. It's so much tastier. Plus it's so much healthier...

When I ate milk chocolate, I always ate Cadbury's or Ghirardelli (a San Francisco chocolate maker) ... but now I eat only 'dark chocolate' and find that I can't get 'good chocolates' at any other than 'specialty chocolate shops.' I agree with you that Hershey's is minging ... and I wish we could get a good Cadbury bar in dark chocolate here ... oh, well ... I guess I'm 'stuck' with either Ghirardelli's 'fancy dark chocolates,' or from specialty stores, but only FOR NOW because EVERYONE is getting on the 'dark chocolate bandwagon' and soon I hope that even Cadbury will have some, too.

You can't beat a bit of Cadbury's from good old Birmingham! I used to like Hershey's kisses when I was little but they now they taste like they have been in the back of the cupboard for about 5 years. However, have you tried Hershey's Cookies and Cream bar? .Mmmm, I am going to NYC in a couple of weeks maybe I'll stock up on a few bars.

The one thing I do prefer abour American chocolate is the variety. I love Reese's Peanut Butter stuff and Butterfinger Bars and they're really hard to find over here (UK!)

I also hate Hersheys bars, my favourite kind of chocolate is Belgian. Although I do love dark chocolate from Britain.

Dark chocolate, which Europeans use/make more of, is better...and that's coming from an American.

First answer, "Yes, many people do"
Second answer, "There are very different amounts and types of milk and cocoa in each type of chocolate and also very different levels of sugar and other additives and preservatives"

With you, their chocolate tastes like that diabetic chocolate, rather nasty. Cadbury every time for me.
