These are candies in america, not chocolate. FDA requires 30% cocoa to in the ingredient to be called chocolate. Most malaysian just eating less than 10 % of coated chocolate.

Its easy to find any  commercialized and mainstream chocolate makers now but can you find Artisan Chocolatier to make gourmet chocolates using fine cacao beans ? There are quite a number of american, canadians and european chocolate makers who are refining the taste .

I like to see more artisan chocolates in the market who creates good flavor than decorative chocolates.

Origin of country and manufacturer doesnt mean the chocolates can be good , depending who make it and who set the highest standards in sourcing the cacao bean

Kit-kat
Cadbudy creme eggs - seasonal, though

Twix and Cadbury boost are my fallbacks if I can't think of what to buy.

I bought a Kandos Krispie bar a couple of weeks ago...wasn't as good as when I was 10.

Agree. Once a person tried gourmet chocolate, hard to go back to mass produce junk. Bernard Callebaut is one of my favourite

I picked some of you to learn what's your thoughts about chocolate. What is meant by chocolate to you? What's special about Kit Kat and Snicker or Twix? Do you like the crunchiness, certain flavors like caramel, nougat texture, sweers, peanut butter flavor etc or you like the cocoa flavor or milk ? Have you tasted the real cocoa flavor before in the past. thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

yeah, need more people like you to educate the public too. There's a few knots that need to be untie before one is able to see the right cocoa flavor notes due to the perception and misrepresentation during the industrialization era.

Don't know about the price but it's really damn good. Not too sweet and it's a bit bitter but not too much.

good to know that your preferences were low sweet, milk and the matcha flavor . In this green tea by kit kat, the ingredients,there's no chocolate except for milk added with green tea powder or matcha . I personally like this combination too because it mask the sweetness level. have you try the brand by Royce? they do sell some nice green tea nama chocolate. thumbup.gif

Vanilla ice cream pairing with chocolate sauce is classic.

Or you could try this. If you like Twix, you may like this more. Creamier and more chocolatey taste.

What is chocolate ? If a 90% of the ingredients were made of nougat or nuts, marshmallow etc while 10 % of it containing small amount of chocolates as coating in the ingredient. You might as well call it candy bar . Instead people likes to prioritize chocolates as main ingredients when is not. For eg, snickers ,mars other bars have more nuts ,caramel , jelly and nougats in the recipe than chocolates. In europe and even in america now, they were categorized as candy now.

And if the cocoa ingredients consist of vegetable oil, its a compound chocolate and the flavor is pretty far from any chocolate that were produced with cocoa butter.

Mean while, for those real chocolates we called it couverture chocolates and they were often used to produce truffles , pralines and bars.

Hope this helps in educating the people still can't differentiate the candy bar compound chocolate and couverture chocolate.
