That list is broken and stupid. Snickers is nowhere near the top.

I've been digging the "big cup" Reese's lately, and the new one with pretzel bits in them are great.

I've never been a big coconut fan, but Mounds and Almond Joy are favorites of mine.

The list in the OP is fucked up, I like Reeses but they aren't a chocolate bar.  Milky Way should be on the list as well, that's what I'd pick for American candy bars.

Snickers had some sort of alternative formula that came in a light blue color package that I really liked, it's gone too.

Reese's are not a bar.

It's a tough decision after that.

ETA: Reeses even says 'cups' on the label.

I always found the Ritters disappointing but their Marzipan will do in a pinch.

If someone wants a tasty chocolate bar, try the house brand chocolate from Aldi. It's Austrian and pretty good.

Ritter Sport Master Race

I usually prefer the whole hazelnut, alpenmilch, or corn flake.  Whatever variety you like, this brand is top notch.

I eat a lot of Snickers, and love 'em, but it isn't a chocolate bar.

Toblerone isn't on there, nor are Milka (Thanks, @DK-Prof), Ghirardelli, Ritter Sport, any of the Lindt offerings, or Soma from Canuckistan.  There are more expensive and arguably better ones out there, but I don't take out loans for snacks.  Godiva is expensive and fancy, but it's not as good as some other choices.

Out of those, Ritter Sport milk chocolate with hazelnuts is probably my favorite.

ETA:  Not something I'd have every day, but had one at the behest of a friend, and it was a much better combination than I would have thought possible:

Those were the best. I tried importing some British ones after they were discontinued here, but the Brit version is basically a Milky Way. Heath is the best remaining on the market, IMO, but I'm not much of a sweets guy.

Yep.  

I am "murican" through and through, but I have been around the world.   The chocolate and many of the sweets over seas are so much better than ours.  (some of the Russian stuff is shockingly good)


Oh and Semper Paratus. :)

Pump Street, Omnom, Solstice, Raaka, Dick Taylor, Native Forager, Cacao Sampaka, Marou...

At least eat some chocolate worth eating. Not that Hershey dirt shit.

Even lower quality euro stuff is better: Milka, Ritter Sport...

Its ok to be a snob when we are discussing such an important topic.  
My colleagues overseas laugh at me cause I fill my luggage with good stuff every time I am over there, you know, before COVID put a stop to travel
The chocolates I have bought in Belgium, Holland, Germany, etc., has always been amazing.  My buddy took me to this little hole in the wall in Antwerp and I bought close to $200 worth of chocolate.
I went to the Christmas Markets in Hamburg 2 years ago and filled an entre suitcase with holiday treats to bring home as a Christmas surprise for the family.
