If I want to buy chocolates as gifts for Muslim friends, how can I make sure they are suitable for their consumption? This is because there are no 'halal' marks for food items in the West. Can anyone provide more information on this?

I'm just curious. Want to make sure it's suitable for our Muslim friends.

can I ask why chocolates aren't halal? Besides those obvious ones which have alcohol in it. The ingredients are usually just sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, vanillin, lecithin, etc. I don't see any haram ingredients?

I think so but this 'halal' thing isn't that simple. Anyway, I'm not a Muslim so, can't really comment on this.

hmm i dont remember seeing any gelatin in chocolate ingredients..and I always check them to see the quality of the chocolate.

Maybe if theres gelatin inside the chocolate is of poor quality.

Good chocolate bars usually just have milk, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, sugar, and vanillin as flavoring, not so many ingredients.

Local chocolates with palm oil are shit and not worth eating for me.

You mean if the chocolate is expensive and of high quality, it's most likely suitable for Muslims?
