I myself, I absolutely love mint chocolate! ❤️ When I was a kid. My mother was working for Sears department stores in Austin Texas. They had a small candy kiosk in the middle of the store on the ground floor. I always drooled over the freshly made candies, freshly roasted nuts and chocolate creations. When I was around twelve years old I received a ten dollar bill on my birthday. I held on to that ten dollar bill until we got to go back to Sears and as soon as we arrived I headed straight for that kiosk and bought ten dollars worth of the mint chocolate discs. I was in heaven. And I was twelve and not yet in complete control of all my own impulses . And one of those unmanageable impulses told me to eat that entire bag of chocolate mints. I was sick to my stomach for a day and a half. I didn't think that I'd ever be able to enjoy chocolate mints ever again because of the horrible diarrhea that ensued. And the worst part of it.... I left the bathroom smelling of mint chocolate every time I finished! I thought that I'd be traumatized forever. But my impulses were apparently stronger than my trauma because I never stopped enjoying mint chocolate candy.

Chocolate used to be rich people candy and Milton Hershey stretched it and did stuff to it to make it cheaper to make and affordable for the masses. Basically the same thing that Henry Ford did to make automobiles affordable for the masses since automobiles were too expensive for average Joe to afford.

Cadbury is sold here in America, but the license is held by Hershey. I’d say it’s a step up from normal Hershey products. The creme egg is a seasonal product and it’s only available around Easter. I haven’t had one in years because the filling is sickly sweet.

Galaxy and Dove (same product/different names) are both made by Mars, Inc. which is a US company. Hershey's is a horrible excuse for chocolate. I get a Terry's Orange every year for Christmas ... so we can get that in USA, at least seasonally. Cadbury products are also widely available in the US, although I'm not sure if it's the same varieties as available in the UK.

@SarahBroad-kw7fj Ай бұрын

The fact is Hersey reformulated their chocolate during the great depression, in order to cut costs. That’s why they also put the preservative in there that taste, funky grandma said before the crash the Hershey’s chocolate was thicker and had no preservatives that came along when they cited that they need to prolong the chocolate to last longer.

@videogamevalley7523 Ай бұрын

I’m surprised they didn’t know Cadburys (outside of the egg one) I have had their chocolate for years ever since I was a kid. Love their chocolates I would buy their quicker than a Hershey’s bar and that is my honest opinion.

Kabir my friend, Cadbury (I believe licensed by Hersey here in the US) Creme Eggs are HUGE over here, especially for Easter and Halloween. But I'd gather a guess that the Cadbury Caramel Egg is more popular, because whenever I go to a supermarket to get some, those are always, always sold out. The creme egg is, extremely overly, nastily sweet. The caramel egg however, is about perfect imo. :)

@Traci2000 Ай бұрын

Cadbury makes a Caramello bar this is pure heaven. It's even better than Ghirardelli chocolate! (Only just tho). I love the cream eggs. I eat a few every year at Easter when they hit the shelves. We only get the chocolate oranges closer to Christmas time. I HATE mint in my chocolate! I won't eat it. It's like eating medicine. I'd love to try the coconut one and that double decker bar though. They both looked really good.

I do eat a lot of Hershey products because it's more affordable and I'm a daily chocolate eater.

I must say that American chocolate can have a bad rap amongst European's, which I think is totally unjust and unfair. If you're referring to Hershey's, or another mass market brand, then, yes, I agree it's not the best. However, we do have our share of incredible chocolate here in the States. For instance, there is an absolutely amazing chocolate shop located in my town square that specializes in making fine, handcrafted chocolates. Every piece of chocolate is handmade in the shop and is made from the finest, high quality chocolate. So people really need to try chocolate from one of these specialty shops in the States and not just go by Hershey's.

@richardlandrum1966 Ай бұрын

No, it's very fair. The difference is butyric acid used to prolong shelf. Likely not found in fresh made candies like your local shop, but any chocolate packaged and shipped in us will have it.

I know it’s not British, but the grocery store where I work carries the Milka chocolate bars. So much better than Hershey. There’s also an Irish grocery store near me.

Hershey's is gross. I hate that that is how the world sees American chocolate. It has butyric acid in it because they let the milk spoil slightly to improve the chocolate's shelf life. This is not done in all American chocolate, so when I hear people say, "American Chocolate tastes like vomit," I know they are talking about Hershey's and likely haven't had any other American chocolate. Thankfully, Hershey's is the exception, not the rule.
