Ghirardelli's , Cadbury, Lindt, Dove, are the milk chocolate brands I wanted to see tested.
Me too ☺️
Being English I was brought up on Cadbury's and that will always be my favourite (Although Galaxy Chocolate made by Mars is what my American friends always ask me to bring back to the USA) I do not think the European chocolate is as popular in the USA as some think it is. It is whole different taste.
Same here. Pretty disappointing video.
I don’t know why they even put Hershey in the taste test it’s inexpensive chocolate that your mother could afford to serve to a crowd when camping or having sleepovers and it’s never had a reputation for being quality chocolate and I don’t know why they included chocolate that costs $18 a pound in this test either. They should have included brands that are more affordable and obtainable at your local grocery store in the candy and baking aisle like the brands that you mentioned.
they did test them, they are sitting to the side there but they must not have made it to the top or bottom of the list for them to present on.
My high school in San Francisco was next to the Ghirardelli chocolate factory, and I can still remember the smell that permeated the building once in a while. At 17 it put me in a good mood. So Ghirardelli is my favorite
I go to the factory store in San Leandro from time to time.
I went to college in Milwaukee in the 1980s, when the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory was several blocks north of campus. On those rare days when the wind blew from that direction, well, those days were just like heaven.
Is Gheradeli in San Francisco?
❤
Never bad milk chocolate? You obviously have never had Palmer milk chocolate. It's cheap and tastes even cheaper.
And the chocolate the kids sell for school fund raisers!
Palmer isn't chocolate. Its chocolate flavored.
@@lji_btrfly it's Dollar Store crap.
To me, and hold back your comments, Hershey is just junk…Swiss milk chocolate is best. I am not even Swiss. You haven’t tasted bad milk choc until you’ve tried Chinese (I’m not Chinese either) which I tasted about 40yrs ago and never forgot it.
Their factory in Pennsylvania blew up.
Aldi's has by far the best chocolate I have ever had. There European chocolate, and their
so smooth and creamy and I really like Moser Roth, which is made in Germany.
Marabou, Wedel, Anthon Berg.
I agree! Aldi is the best place to get chocolate!
Good to know! Thanks!!!!
It's also half the price of other fine chocolate
Agreed. Their chocolate is all great. I’ve tried several varieties from all their ranges and not disliked a single one.
The milk chocolates I bought when I had pocket money were called Ice Cubes, the good imported stuff my parents bought at the German deli.
Ice Cubes are about 50% palm oil so they melt smooth . I used to love those
The recipe has been changed. No longer any good.
I used to sell those when I worked at a convenience store. Kids loved them parents not so much because the chocolates melted so easily. But what I remember most about Ice Cubes was they were packed in a large beer glass . So when you unpacked the candy this was in the package Ice Cubes packed in a large cut glass beer mug and two or three beer coasters. I think everyone who worked there had one or two mugs.
As a kid in Canada we use to get Moritz ice cube chocolate and I loved them so much. Haven’t had them in ages!
@@BradiKal61 ....50 years ago palm oil was used? I first had them as a kid way back then.
Chocolove and Ritter . Chocolove dark chocolates they have fantastic flavors. Candied Ginger, Chili pepper and cherries and more traditional like Orange peel not to mention a Almond toffee that'll knock your socks off. Ritter does my favorite milk chocolates the Ritter bar with cornflakes is a must buy when I can find it.
I truly enjoy quality chocolate. Who doesn’t? I believe chocolate could unite the world. Having said that, once in a while a Hershey bar with almonds transports me back to childhood.
Yup they unite the world in our appreciation of child slave labor. Woo-hoo. /s
I agree!
Used to love Hershey’s chocolate, but lately it tastes waxy to me. Switched to Dove.
@@janofpa7772 It seems like all of the simple pleasures in life (especially those tied to our childhood memories) never stay the same. Corporations now remove every expense that take away from their profit margins which always removes everything that made the treat edible in the first place. My husband and I went to Dairy Queen the other night to get a buster bar and it was not the same at all. The ice cream was full of air and very icy, the thick layer of fudge in the middle had been entirely removed . They completely destroyed the product. Farewell to that summer treat, another one bites the dust.
It's Nestle Crunch for me that takes me back to childhood.
Does anybody remember chunky with everything loaded up in it? Cadbury fruit and nut was good too
I haven't seen Chunky in a long time it was one of my favorites. 😢
I agree whole heartedly.
Let's be honest. If I want semi sweet chocolate, I'll buy semi sweet chocolate. I don't want a milk chocolate trying it's darndest to be semi sweet.
I do like the Aldi milk chocolate. Melts well in my mouth, creamy, great taste, and not expensive.
I LOVE Aldi chocolate! That's what I eat most of the time.
My favorite chocolate is Choceur at Aldi -- both milk and dark chocolate. Nice variety of flavors too!
Wish she could've tasted more than three!
Agree. Only 3 was kinda lame
I agree.
Especially when they display about 8 chocolate varieties
They did they never put them all in the video. You have to go to the website for full results.
I was shocked they included Hershey's milk chocolate I rank them pretty low (smells like vomit), but I like the Special Dark.
Palmer chocolate is bad chocolate.
Palmers is chocolate flavored. I won’t eat it.
Palmer's chocolate is not real chocolate but it is "compound chocolate" instead of cocoa butter they use hydrogenated vegetable oil. Even Hershey's is considered real chocolate...
Palmer is just nasty.
Maybe it's just me, but it bothers me that she doesn't cleanse her palette in between tastings - especially with something fatty like chocolate which coats the tongue.
yep, you **always** wash it down with water after each tasting with any sort of liquid (e.g. alcohol, wine) or something that melts easily like chocolate because of that reason, this video is a joke.
I was a professional taste tester and you always cleanse your pallet between samples
@@rozferrell1838 Hmmm, I think a "professional" would know it's spelled PALATE. I call b.s.
The same thing occurred to me.
I just thought the same thing!
I'm surprised how annoyed I've been since watching this, since I know it's not actually that serious a thing. But if I'm looking for the best milk chocolate, why would I pick the one that even the judges said doesn't taste like milk chocolate, but like dark chocolate. If you would think that it was dark chocolate if someone didn't tell you it was labeled milk chocolate, then it's not the best milk chocolate.
If I were wanting dark chocolate taste, wouldn't I buy dark chocolate? Shouldn't the winner of best milk chocolate actually be milk chocolate, rather than dark chocolate or bitter- or semi-sweet chocolate? It seems like there was some category fraud going on here, with some brands mis-categorizing their chocolate, but I'd have hoped the judging panel would have weeded that out (maybe including the non-milk chocolates as recommended with reservations). It seems like something is sub-optimal with the judging when a customer who wants the best (actual) milk chocolate would need to go to the fourth or fifth entry on the full list before reaching an actual milk chocolate. And, the actual best milk chocolates (that are recognizably milk chocolates) aren't the ones featured on the show. I've finished venting now, thanks.
Agreed. People are dumb and so is this lame review.
These reviewers try so hard to look like connoisseurs that it’s self evident they think they are the best at choosing what we should like. Everybody tastes foods differently because no one has the same experience of foods. They mentioned some tasted like orange tones but if someone has a different experience but hears the description orange/apple etc, they will imagine they taste that.
She says, "I know what I like. I like chocolate".
Me: Me too.
For long international air flights - always bring Lindt to treat myself
In a test done some years ago that I saw, Americans prefer Hershey's while Europeans find them disgusting. It's all about what you grew up with.
It's more than that - they actually put butyric acid (which is naturally present in vomit but also from natural fat rendering in foods) into Hershey's. So... the rumours are true. Americans enjoy the taste of sick in their mouth :D
@@theslamdancekid I guess Americans don’t throw up that much
I would never snack on Hersheys. Like she said, I would only use it for smores.
@@theslamdancekid
Not really put it in, it's naturally present in milk fat, and the process used brings it out.
Butyric acid is also naturally in parmesan cheese....
We used to like Hershey’s, but now it tastes like wax.
Lindt is by far my favorite.
Lindt is the best. The milk chocolate with coconut filled truffles are addicting!
Does anyone remember a candy bar called U-No? I loved those !! Milk chocolate on the outside and some kind of very light chocolate nougat on the inside and it kind of “broke” rather than melted. It had a very unique texture on the inside. I used to buy them from the candy machine in junior high, for a dime. 😊
How about Moritz ice cube chocolate!
U-No was wonderful. It was made by the Annabelle Candy Co in the Bay Area. Same company made Rocky Road bars.. The mint chocolate U-No was amazing
@@margihansen970 That’s great to know! Rocky Road was and still is my favorite! ( not easy to find but not impossible) 😊👍🏻
This is by far the most important review!! ;)
That audience was really enthusiastic about clapping for the end of that segment....
They were probably glad that it was over. I bet their butt cheeks were falling asleep.
I do understand what Julia means about waxy on Endanger's, that's what I remember most on the bar I tried coup[le years ago. That is not bad but when somebody talks about it, it becomes a real disadvantage. Julia is a true food profesisoanal.
I got the Endangered Species bar on recommendation from ATK's website and I love it! As I've gotten older, I've grown to love dark chocolate because I want more cacao than sugar. But this is now officially my favorite chocolate bar.
It not only has more cacao but it's got a somewhat tart fruitiness to it that pairs well with the chocolate. Almost like raspberry but not quite. And it is SMOOOOOTH! Which is something I don't usually equate with milk chocolate, especially the ghastly Hershey's chocolate bar. I think it's $2.99 a bar but it's worth EVERY penny. A true chocolate bar for adults!
Agree! Great milk chocolate bar. 🍫 It is very smooth.
Go to a British/Indian store and pick up Cadbury. It actually taste better than the ones sold in us store because it actually two different companies. Cadbury in the USA is actually just Hershey which bought the name/right to make/distribute in the US. Hershey felt so threatened by the British version that they actually made it illegal to import the British version. For me it’s a night and day difference in that one taste just like I am literally eating a bar of sugar versus actually tasting chocolate. But then again I grew up in the land down under so I am probably more use to the British version of the chocolate treat.
Cadbury is garbage compared to the better European brands.
I agree. American chocolate is mostly corn syrup now. Even Godiva isn't worth the fancy price.
But Cadbury is also not what it used to be. I remember my favorite bar as a child had different flavors in each square, all in one bar. They don't make that anymore.😢😢😢
Scharffen Berger is great when you can get it..... real popular on west coast but rare here in MidWest
I’m very picky about my chocolate and I rarely eat milk chocolate and almost never eat white chocolate. So obliviously I strongly prefer dark. But you peaked my curiosity. Thank you for the education.
What kind of a testing was this? No cleansing of the palate between sampling? The whole concept was poorly constructed. This test should be for which grocery store MILK chocolate bar tastes best, not which one tastes closest to bittersweet. Bittersweet is already a distinct category. If I want the bittersweet ratio of sugar to cacao, I'd select among them, not choose a milk chocolate that comes closest to the bittersweet proportions. Also the sample selection (as it has been for a long time now on ATK) is severely restricted to three. Couldn't the much more common milk chocolate bars such as Dove, Cadbury, Nestle, Lindt and Ghirardelli, be compared to Hershey.
On a trip in the States I went on a tour of Hershey's factory. At the end they offered me some chocolate to taste and I said no thank you. The guide was stunned. But I come from Ireland we grew up on Cadbury's.
I doubt very much the guide was ‘stunned’. How ridiculous.
With the studio audiences these tests remind me of infomercials.
This is an informercial. Displays 10 brands, tastes 3, never says these were the top three yet leads me to believe Hersheys was one of the top three. And Barf'n'sugar is in any way superior to Lindt. Americas Test Kitchen has lost all credibility.
@@sandrah7512 If there were no losers then there can be no winner. You cannot have one without the other.
@@sandrah7512 They called one product the "Winner." They called another product the runner-up. They did not call one product the most recommended and the next product the second most recommended. No amount of spin will change the facts.
I hate dark chocolate with a passion. I don’t eat sweets because I want something bitter. That sounds absurd.
Looking forward to recreating this!
I’ve come to prefer the dark chocolate when filled with a sweet filling. Offsets the sweetness which can be too much. If plain chocolate, then it’s milk chocolate for sure.
I grew up eating Swiss dark chocolate bars with a firm jelly like filling in either raspberry or orange flavor. Those fruit flavors didn't taste as good to me with milk chocolate.
I didn't like dark chocolate either as a kid for that reason (also I got a nasty headache from eating it). I learned later in life that the higher cacao percentages are the ones that aren't good. The lower ones aren't that bad, but they don't compare to milk chocolate, or even white chocolate, which does taste good if you pair it with vanilla or eat it with sea salt or some kind of fruit [I prefer pears and berries].
dark chocolate is not meant to be "sweets" so not sure why you're so agitated.
@@Orholam5 have we got a bit of Aspergers going on? Are we having issues with exact verbiage and intent?
I can’t believe they actually put Hershey’s in this test. It has such a distinct and knowable taste to Americans. And it is not good at all. If you want decent milk chocolate for a reasonable price, go to Aldi and get the German chocolate. You will not regret it!
Trader Joes sells great chocolate as their pound plus bars. Made in Belgium
to everyone else outside the US, Trader Joe (Aldi) chocolate is very very average. it is the equivalent to low quality import beer.
@@ChineseKiwi inside the US Aldi imports European chocolate. I don’t know what they import where you are.
@@shadowguard3578 just because it's European, doesn't mean it's good.
@@ChineseKiwi And yet it is good. I've tried tons of chocolate both from the US and Europe, especially Swiss and Belgian chocolates, and in a range of prices from low to high. Trader Joe's bittersweet pound plus bars are quite good for a supermarket brand. Certainly not the best chocolate ever, but that is entirely subjective.
I'm an adult, so I eat dark chocolate, not milk chocolate.
It's amazing. Great!!! Sometimes decision should be rated up in terms of importance.One things that you said so true. I love these videos so much, thank you.
See's Candies chocolate is my favorite, but you have to get it fresh from the store. Weird that they picked two brands nobody has heard of. Would have expected Hershey's, Lindt, Cadbury, Ritter, Ghirardelli, etc.
Oh the sees candy rum nougat is my favorite!!!!
Why only test three? There are so many more on the shelves in super markets especially places like Trader Joe's and Sprouts's etc.
Lindt is the best milk chocolate in my opinion. Very smooth, creamy, and no weird aftertaste
I agree, though I haven't tried their winner. I made ATK's Milk Chocolate Crémeux Tart recipe a few weeks ago, with only a trip to Walmart's pitiful chocolate section to stock up. And the Lindt I got there not only made a fantastic tart, but the leftovers made a surprisingly great snack. Very creamy, but also very chocolatey, with a good texture.
That's funny, because I think it tastes and smells very strange and unlike any other brand.
Just sent my sister a box of Godiva chocolate after surgery. It’s helping recovery more than PT😊
Hershey's should not even be allowed to be called chocolate. They are an embarrassment to our country
@@josephhoag2366 I’m sorry but have you tasted European chocolate? There is no comparison
That's unfair. Hershey was making large scale commercial chocolate before anyone in the world, and because of long shipping times, it was designed to be shelf stable and was on the battlefield in two world wars. What happened is that Americans developed a taste for it, much like the Hawaiians developed a taste for SPAM because it was often the only protein they had during the war years. It was also shelf stable. I don't like Hershey chocolate or SPAM ( I'm not American so I wasn't raised with either), but I understand the culture. We use Hershey's dutched cocoa powder in our bakery and think it's the best.
Read up on Milton Hershey and get back to me.
Symphony bars with toffee pieces!
Cadbury is by far the best.
Irish Cadbury, not US Cadbury.
Cadbury fruit and nut bars are heaven.
Best supermarket chocolate? Just go to Aldi's.
I grew up eating chocolate sent at Christmas from my German grandparents. They sent German, Swiss and Belgian chocolate. I'm a chocolate snob!
Rummaging thru sis's frig for pickles one day, I found a stash of my BIL's chocolate from his family in Norway shoved deep into a back corner. I asked sis why it was there. She answered,"He thinks he needs to hide it so no one else will eat it." We both paused for a moment and then burst into massive laughter, resulting in crying tears. Absolute WORST chocolate in the world: Norwegian. Sorry Norway - love you guys, but the chocolate ? Just no.
Not sure which is worse, the chocolate or the Aquavit.
Interesting that they didn't address the major differences between American and European chocolate; Butyric acid which makes American chocolate, especially Hersheys, have that tart taste that people say is reminiscent of vomit. Lots of other American chocolate and candy companies have added it to mimic Hershey's so it's difficult to find a large non artisanal brand in America that doesn't taste like that. European chocolate is far less pungent and more milky and smooth tasting.
In my opinion I can't even stomach American chocolate, and it's what I grew up with. With my whole life I just hated chocolate and people always thought I was crazy, but chocolate cake, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies... nope. I hate it.
I actually enjoy certain European chocolates and candies like Cadbury bubbles. I realized I didn't hate chocolate, I just really don't like American chocolate with butyric acid and it soured me on the stuff permanently and I've been learning to enjoy it now that I'm older and have access to different kinds.
Sp hopefully this helps someone who is from America and hates Hershey's and thinks chocolate is gross... you're not wrong or crazy, it's not you... it actually does taste like vomit. Butyric acid is in vomit, parmesan cheese and a bunch of other non-chocolate stuff.
I live in Costa Rica and our local artesian chocolates are the best I've ever had.
IMHO: Hershey's doesn't even qualify as chocolate. Cadbury used to be quality, but now it is nore like sugar flavored chocolate.
European chocolate outshine America's by far.
European chocolate is certainly better than Costa Rican chocolates.
@@kevochallen283 So, you've had all Costa Rican chocolates? Willing to bet you've had none.
My Fav are Lindor Chocolate and Ferraro Rocha
I am surprised at the lack of galaxy, Milka, Areo and Ritter Sport. It may be as they are more available in Europe as apposed to the Americas.
Yes, that has to be the reason.
Galaxy is Dove here in the United States. I can find Milka, Aero, and Ritter Sport in many grocery stores, especially in the international aisles. Also, if you have a World Market nearby check them out.
Lindt is 100% the best.
Especially their truffles! To. Die. For!
Mmmmmmmmmm chocolate 🍫
but some of their bars are not great
Endangered Species also makes a Mint+Dark Chocolate bar that is amazing and delicious. Seriously my favorite chocolate bars.
Lindt and Suchards are my favorite . I grew up with both so I might be biased.
Soooooo theres tons of euros commenting about americans. You realize this is from a show called AMERICAS test kitchen right? Soooo itll be geared more toward our palate. Whats interesting is both sides list crummy chocolate as their favorite lol!
Hersheys used to be my favorite, grew up with it since childhood, though I realize it disgusts most non-USA citizens. But they have now reneged on removing the horrible, cost and cocoa butter-saving, yet terrible tasting additive PGPR. They have lost a 55 year customer, their product now tastes like shite to even me.
the only reason someone would like Hershey's is if they had never tasted literally any other chocolate bar.
@@Orholam5 Literally, really? And yet it is - or in my case, used to be - a favorite,. It is, in fact, one the best selling chocolate bars in the world. I am fairly certain the majority have tasted at least one other chocolate bar, but you seem to know best?Tastes vary, I cannot abide it since they put the PGPR garbage additive in it, allowing them to use less cocoa butter. I can easily taste that stuff.
I love Scharffen Berger. Great stuff.
Thanks for introducing me to Scharfen-whatsit. Good stuff. I wasn’t impressed by the Endangered Species to be honest. It doesn’t even taste like milk chocolate, although it tastes like it might be pretty good baked in a cookie.
Agreed. A diabetic-friendly or keto-friendly baking series would be great.
I love Cadbury and Milka brands
The UK-made Cadbury's, not the US which is inferior.
@@karldelavigne8134 i recently discovered that... i find that other countries have better quality brands than america
@@karldelavigne8134 even then, UK Cadbury's is considered average to folks in Europe and down under. you Americans dunno how bad you have it. Same with American 'coffee'
@@ChineseKiwi I agree: it's the equivalent of Hershey's, just a cheap snacking candy bar. Personally, I like Erich Hamann.
Cadbury no.1 Hands down! Symphony(incognito Cadbury) no.2 Dove no.3
Cadbury is very average to everyone outside the US
The studio audience in this page looks like those paid infomercial lifeless audiences
Absolutely....noticed it the moment the camera zoomed in on them...
Ghirardelli is my favorite. Recently, I found a surprising one: Aldi's store brand. It's imported from Germany and it has an excellent taste. Trader Joe's probably has it since Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi
i've tried many milk chocolate brands over the years and even did my own taste test recently and i still think hershey's is the best even over more expensive ones. i used to think nestles was the best but i haven't seen it in years, my mom used to buy the really thick giant bars when i was a kid.
Love, love, love Cadbury Dairy Milk, especially British Dairy Milk. If I'm going for a favorite, I'd have to say it would be the British Galaxy bar. Soooo good.
Lidl groceries have their own brands . Cheap, big and very tasty. And high chocolate content.
The original British Cadbury is the best not the US version. And what about Lindt?
Lindt is my "go to" chocolate. Cadbury, Ghirardelli & Galaxy are also great. Hershey's is living on their reputation with the help of kids. Palmer's is a cheap novelty confection. I would have liked to see all brands compete.
Should have a glass of water or sip between
Depends on what you are used to. Lindt, Milka and Ritter Sport, hands down. American chocolate is too high in wax, too low on cocoa and fat content.
belgian chocolate n the chocolatr shaped like mountains stsrt with T re really sweett
I expected Lindt to be the winner. It’s definitely my fave. I’ve never seen the winning chocolate in my region but I’m eager to try it and compare to Lindt.
Callebaut milk chocolate is that most magnificent chocolate I have ever tasted.
Who remembers Sky Bars?
I like Cadbury and Dove.
Mi programa de cocina favorito del mundo 🌍. Muy entretenido muy divertido y muy confiable. Las recetas y los test funcionan
I have three favorites, but I think only one of them is American?
1) Tony’s (the big bars that look like they came from Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory)
2) World’s Finest chocolate - if you’re a Chicagoan, you would know this brand because it’s used for school fundraisers
3) Ritter’s chocolate, from Germany (?)
It's hilarious to watch this woman in these "taste tests"...He said "nibble"...COW!😁✌️
I've found that most choc is just like brown wax most of the year but when there is a holiday season on the calendar horizon, the choc manufacturers up their game, and choc has its ol melty chocolatey taste thru the special times, Easter, Mother's day, Christmas. Maybe that's just here in Australia.
Sorry but Easter bunnies are a hollow, waxy revolting mess.
1. Dove
2 Ghirardelli
3.Lindt
4. Hershey’s Kisses. Not the candy bar. Just the kisses.
Life without chocolate is like life without LOVE!!!🥰😊
I wanna be paid to eat chocolate.
Dilettante Chocolates are the best i have had. It's a seattle chocolate company. You can buy it on Amazon.
I adore ,Sam's Choice 90% Cocoa Swiss Dark Chocolate, 3.5 oz :)
Milka imported chocolates are light in texture and creamy and delicious.
I certainly do a lot more dark chocolate now than milk chocolate. The only Hershey's milk chocolate I somewhat regularly have is Hershey's Kisses, but I think I prefer the milk chocolate in Nestlé Crunch bars, M&Ms and Snickers (as far as 'non-fancy' options go). I liked plain milk chocolate Nestlé Chunky bars when those were around too. And M&Ms are better than non-US Smarties! ;-)
Cadbury's made in England is my favorite.
Cadcbury, Lindt and Dove are my favorites.
Oh man the Hersey’s Symphony was so smooth. And I’m sure they do not make it any longer. There are probably better ones out there but from Hersey it was so good.
I am going out and getting it today!
Lindt might make the best milk chocolate truffles, the red ones, but their milk chocolate bar is no match for Cadbury's. And I expected Lindt to be the superior bar, but no. Ghirardelli's always had an odd chocolate flavor, I rate it at the bottom of all. Dove is decent, but it's main feature is how fast it melts in your mouth. Ritter is meh. I would like to see exactly how they did the test with the audiance so the Endangered Species came out on top. I trust Julia's palate. If she says it's waxy, it's waxy. Why would anyone vote to eat a candle, even a chocolate one.
I wonder if Aldi " Choceur" chocolate was in the running. It's very good.
Hersey's with Almonds for me.
One can never know too much about chocolate. :)
Best is Lindt & Ghirardelli
My favorite milk chocolate is the Walmart brand. It doesn't have any artificial flavors and of course it is a skim milk product which makes it delicious and its $3 which is pretty good
Aldi’s choceur chocolate with almonds ! Better than all the test samples.
My favorite is still Hershey’s with almonds. Yes, all you folks in Europe, I do understand it has a “vomit” undertone, but that’s why I like it. (due to butyric acid) It’s what I grew up with. I suppose that’s why people like Cincinnati chili. (barf)
I love Guittard too
Both of the top 2 are good.
Julia has a refined palate without being a food snob.
My favorite is Green & Black's organic milk chocolate, which I buy from Kroger.
I have never even seen the other two brands before
The Hershey Milk Chocolate bar at Cracker Barrel is my favorite. It has an old time wrapper but it is also a different formulation with more cocoa. It is smooth, creamy, more chocolatey, not waxy, and still reminds me of childhood.
Even as a kid who loved candy, I hated Hershey's Milk Chocolate. For me, it has a sour milk, vomit-like taste, though I could tolerate Hershey's Semi-Sweet. I also can't stand cilantro, so there may be there's a correlation there?
Amazing to me at how many people on here go around eating vomit.
@@richardlouis8295 I'm sure most of us know what puke tastes like coming up, unless you've never vomited before!
should be noted that when it comes to chocolate like many things the age of a person will effect what they preference more. Like hersheys with it's signature taste has more appeal to kids over adults.
TONY’S CHOCOLONEY!! Hands-down the best milk chocolate, and sourced ethically!
Agree, from the US and ordered it from The Netherlands during the holidays. Impractical since I had to wait nearly a month for shipping but worth it, so good!
Disappointed that they didn't test Aldi's milk chocolate. Just as tasty as the premium brands at almost half the price.
"supermarket" meaning that one exotic grocer is the north end of boston that has the winner. No other market has endangered species
Endangered Species is in all the stores here in this mid-sized town in Minnesota.
My husband and I tried organic Hershey chocolate candy bar. Oh my delicious perfectly balance not very sweet like regular. You taste creamy chocolate. Very creamy. Honestly it taste better and taste like want we had as child. Lindt 70% chocolate is delicious
