You said chocolate bar. Herhsey's is the only one I see. Best by a large margin over al, others. Candy bars bars are another story, do you care to try your question again?

The list is a lie. Where is the York Mint Patty and Lindt Excellence Bar, 85% Cocoa Extra Dark Chocolate?

I never use to like dark chocolate....but now I do, and anything made in Belgium.
But I still like a good ol American,,Back to back world war champion Hershey bar...Many a liberated child got there first bite of freedom from one of those... |

View Quote Yes, I read that in Telly Savalas' voice. Who loves ya, Hershey? I just wish it was the same formula from when I was a kid. They up until recently taste much more like wax and plastic Edit: Sorry. It seems they have recently changed the formula back to natural ingredients. I will have to try one, as it has been several years since I've had one due to past poor quality. Going back to my hole. |

Quoted: non of the above Milka (any of them) View Quote Love the Milka and Ritter chocolates. Back in the day at closing time you could buy bags full of broken Ritter bars fresh from the factory. I'm talking a bag like the big Sunday newspaper comes in for a few marks. I doubt they still do that. |

Quoted: <= Belgian. That's candy. Not chocolate. EDIT Having sampled many a Hershey from your PX'es, they are in general too sweet. Way to much sugar, not enough cocoa. If you want good regular plain chocolate, in Belgium you can go Cote d'or, Callebaut, Jaqcues. Swiss Lindt or Cailler. If you want good pralines, in Belgium you can go Leonidas, Godiva, Neuhaus. Swiss pralines, meh. Just go Belgian. View Quote Yeah, but does all that bullshit melt into ambrosia when sandwiched with a marshmallow, between two all American graham crackers over a campfire? |

Quoted: Love these things. Just really mild milk chocolate. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/172294/71F816E5-89BB-47AE-B846-EB0300004F9C-1808801.jpg ETA: And to all you prissy, eurofag chocolate fans: fuck you and have a nice day. By the grace of God, I’m an American and I eat American chocolate. View Quote High five Janie!! |

Quoted: Mass American chocolate is mediocre at best. When I was in Europe and still ate candy I tried a lot of their candy bars and the were pretty much all better than ours. I think the reason was the primary ingredient. There it was milk, here its sugar. And in the US they like to substitute oils for cocoa butter. Glad I quit eating that tripe. I was ordering Cadbury milk bars from England for a while after I got back. View Quote You probably don't mean to sound as abrasive as you come off here, so I deleted my OP, and wish you a merry day. |

In no particular order, real chocolate bars.
Theos Chocolove Endangered Species Green & Black I am also trying my hand at making my own at home. The flavor is fabulous, but my texture is off. |

The best chocolate bar is actually a sphere, Terry's chocolate orange. I would be a sphere if they sold them year round, and not just at Christmas.

Low quality stuff, IMO, like Hershey sugar and oil...I mean milk chocolate, or high quality American companies putting out quality milk chocolate. Or even order Cadbury Milk Bars from foreign lands if one so desires. Options are endless for how one gets the beetus. One shouldn't get trigged by another's choice in candy. Good day sir. |

Eurosnobs claiming oh Belgian chocolate is so far superior,, or my German choco-lata is just scrumptious and anything in America is terrible - get over it, go to Europe and eat all the chocolate bars you want, or better yet order them from some importer.
American chocolate is sweeter and I like sweet, I also like cocoa, they are all good |

Quoted: I’ve attempted to but I get all sorts of results. Too cold turns my chocolate soft. Too warm my chocolate is brittle. I’m trying to find a way to control temperature better.

Quoted: OK, I believe you could be rehabilitated. I won’t put straight mayo on fries, but I don’t like ketchup on them either. I do like them with cocktail sauce which is basically ketchup with a good shot of horseradish, a little lemon juice, and a dash of Worcestershire. Failing that that, I just over salt them. I got introduced to biscuits and gravy at a tender age eating Saturday breakfast with my father and his two friends at the local mom-and-pop. But I really hit my stride while dating a guy in the Air Force. The O’Club did an occasional - once a month, maybe -breakfast brunch with that on the menu. He only took me about every six months because it was that long before he recovered from the embarrassment of me hogging down the B&G. I was 5’6” and 125 - 130 tops - but I’d flat put that stuff away. He used to accuse me of having a hollow leg. I mean I was legendary.

I always love eating on foreign bases, simply because you can make the messhall people completely freak out because we don't know anything and order all the wrong stuff. I once had an officer in my group, think he was number 5-6 in the Austrian Defence...pretty serious guy...but wearing jamjar-glasses...he ordered all the wrong things from the massive US breakfast buffet. "Oh yezz and some of those peaches (fried eggs) with yoghurt (gravy) to start, and I would like some granola (grits) in a cup on the side." The poor guy behind the counter was nervously dishing out all the food onto the guys plate while desperately making eyecontact with me, while I was too busy paying absolutely no attention to him at all. Sadly it all came crashing down when the O made it to the "monday breakfast special", which was Salisbury steak. He turned around, found what he presumed was his orderly (me), poked a finger in my chest and said "I sei hyou zere! Vat is zat???" Told him it looked like peach cobbler served with a dark crème of some sorts. Sir. He thought it over, and then said "ah yes. Sadly I awready haf peech joggert, too mush froet awready!" and tottered off. Now thàt would have been epic...
