Motta has a Bio collection that is good also
I agree completely with this sentiment
If you’re ever in South America, nab yourself a box (or even better, a solid 1kg bar) of these. White, milk or dark, you will NOT regret it.
I haven't bought chocolate in a while, but when I do, I get Hershey's Symphony Bar with Almonds and Toffee Chips.
It's pretty cheap at Walmart.

Heh heh. Symphony was a fave back in the day. I gotta try the Garoto.

I forgot to mention KitKat earlier - this brand is one of the more fascinating creations in the chocolate industry. Kitkat is one of the chocolates available across the globe with multiple variants/flavors.
as an example:
There have been more than 300 limited-edition seasonal and regional flavors of Kit Kat chocolate bars produced in Japan since 2000, many exclusive to the country and not produced elsewhere. Nestlé, which operates the Kit Kat brand in Japan, reports that the brand overtook Meiji Chocolate as the top-selling confectionery in Japan from 2012 to 2014. The company's marketing campaign, which partnered with Japan Post to sell the bar in 20,000 post offices, won an award in 2010. The campaig Kit Kats ...
I do like the Hershey’s blocks with Toffee, regular Hershey bar and the LARGE KIT KAT bars only.
Does Kit Kat count as chocolate? I only see it as covered wafers. Still a very tasty treat, but not exactly chocolate IMO.
Anyway, for me it’s not an option. They’re overpriced as balls where I live, and you get far better value for the price with these:
One box costs as little as two Kit-Kat envelopes, and there’s way more than two Kit Kats in there.
Oh, how I wish they made dark-chocolate Kit-Kats…
I do like those chocolate-filled “straws” (wafer-like, but rolled into a tube). Obscenely pricey for the mass, though.
I have had the green matcha tea Kit Kat. It was in an order I got from a Japanese company years ago. It was green colored and way better than a normal Kit Kat.
I normally don’t eat chocolate. I try to stay away from sugar, but Godiva, Lindt, Ghirardelli and a healthy chocolate with probiotics called beyond P xobiotic squares are the ones I eat most. They are bitter and are an acquired taste for sure. lol

but… they DO

edit: Japan is a great market for Kitkat variety, more than 200 flavors in total were introduced to Japanese customers.
These never last long
Dark KitKats are also very nice. In fact any dark chocolate is good, because it gives SWMBO a headache, so more for me

My favorite has got to be Lindt. But I also like pretty much anything, especially if it’s dark. I can even eat those 90% bars from Aldi, but not much at a time, as they are very rich.
For just a “candy bar” treat, I like Baby Ruth the most, but again, can pretty much enjoy any and all chocolate and/or chocolate-covered bars and/or candies. I love M&M’s as well.

I agree.
I do not do it because I have a problem… I can not stop until I finish it.
Cadbury Flake bars were a favourite when I was much younger. British-made chocolate was far better than the north american stuff then…

Yep, a personal favorite here too…
And these never last long…… . They are also highly addictive.
And of course……
Heck…. any of it is good. From Milk Chocolate to the Darkest Dark… I don’t cull any of it.
