Re: The worst chocolate in the world
Wouldn't it be great if those baby-head chocolates were filled with fondant? It would add a certain something to the theatre of smashing them open.

Re: The worst chocolate in the world
Because everyone's different, perhaps? A lot of people don't like the taste of higher-cocoa chocolate. It all depends on what you're used to, which is why Americans are able to eat Hershey's without gagging, and indeed why they insist on Hershey's retaining the soured milk in the recipe.

Re: The worst chocolate in the world
And sorry, but taste is *completely* the point. People eat things they like the flavour of, and avoid things they don't. Relative health benefits don't really enter the equation. Everybody knows that raw veggies are better for you than chips, but many people prefer the taste of chips, so...

Yes, because everybody actually does that.

Re: The worst chocolate in the world
When I'm on a healthy eating regime I eat high-cocoa (over 70%) chocolate as a treat. It is very good for you when it's pure and has less added sugar. And it tastes great.
When I'm not on a healthy eating regime I eat Cadbury's Fruit 'n' Nut bars galore!

Re: The worst chocolate in the world
I much prefer dark chocolate, so henceforth will claim it's a health food.
