You should try a Reese's cup frozen. It changes the whole experience.

You shouldn't need to do tricks to eat chocolate.

Like those drinking Corona beer.

Wife says I'm the only Italian in the world that hates spaghetti. When I say spaghetti it means pasta dishes. Period.

From what part of Italy are you ?

I'm talking genealogy. I know a significant portion is Sicilian.

So you're not.

Like, off the boat? Of course not. They would have tossed me over the side anyway.

We will accept and adopt you if you change your name to "Faucetto Mulderi".

No thanks!
If it gets any more hard or waxy I’m afraid it’ll never come out of my body!

I wonder if Corona will ever change their name. I wonder if Covid/Corona has hurt their sales.

Crown Candy in St. Louis, Missouri has some excellent chocolate. They've been in business since 1913 and make all their own chocolate on site. Yum yum! It was around Easter when I took this picture, so that's why all the rabbits.

Is it weird that we take pleasure of chomping off a chocolate bunny ear.
When you think about it, we are some pretty demented people. Chomp Chomp Chomp...

I can tolerate DD coffee.
McDonald’s is another story, it tastes like old cigarettes ashes (never tasted that, but that is what my imagination tells me)

I'm hooked on Black Rifle's espresso, it reminds me of the stuff I get in Italy.

I like leonidas chocolate the best, but have been eating cacao nibs.

Sadly European Chocolate is not the same as it used to be.

They have often switched production to include such alien ingredients as Palm Oil and non Coco bean alternatives.

Cadbury's is a prime example as once they were sold out to Nestle (whose managing director famously said that water should NOT be a human right and everyone should have to pay for it) the quality went downhill almost over night.

Not only Cadbury's but other famous English (And yes we DID have the best Chocolate in Europe up until that point) such as Mars whom make the famous Mars Bars and Galaxy Chocolate bars also went downhill, the chocolate does not melt right any longer - palm oil and other alternative ingredients added to cut production costs and increase shelf life have all adversely affected the quality, the texture and the taste of these once great confectionary's.

German Chocolate is very good but was NEVER as good as English until this happened, Swiss used to be a novelty choice and people liked it or did not but real swiss chocolate is now the best there is but even that is in danger of going down this road of corruption under the likes of Nestle etc whom are only ever driven by profit margin's and at the end of the day do not care about the consumer at all.

American Chocolate oddly despite the coco bean originating in south America is simply NOT chocolate at all, it has been compared to many think's from a sweetened candle to a block of soap by more than one fellow Englishman I have met, I could not wait to try a Hershey bar and was completely let down by it's less than underwhelming appeal.

So our Chocolate became something less than it used to be, quite a lot less in fact and probably a lot worse for you as a consequence of those added and alternative ingredient's.

But you know, Child Slavery used to harvest the Cocoa bean's in Africa (why do we even get them from Africa are they not supposed to be a south American crop?), maybe we should all east less if that is what it does to kid's.

This is what greed does, most of us would willingly pay a little more for Quality and ethically sources REAL chocolate.

Agree. But Trader Joe's Dark 72% is awfully good. Probably not made in US I'm thinking.

Google tells me the recipe hasn't changed, but my God it definitely has changed. Somewhere in the early 2000s those PB Cups went from being a childhood favorite to tasting like ass. I'm sure it wasn't my taste buds because my Mom has a recipe she hasn't changed that were homemade Reese's and they taste the exact same as they always have (and capture the taste I miss in the modern Reese's abomination).

Yeah...Reece's PB cups are pretty foul.

I know right. I only eat the finest from Prestat. Flown on a private jet all the way from London and then fed to me by Sir Snooty McChocolateButt.

Hershey's is bad. At some point they decided no one would miss the chocolate and just started making brown colored sugar bars.

It got way worse after that peanut processing guy who went to prison skirted the rules governing safety. They started putting something in everything peanut to protect people from food poisoning. Although it did return back to "better a little" after the nuts were out of circulation, the good flavor never returned because they kept putting an increased amount of some chemical in them. Not all chemicals have to be listed on the label if they have a certain designation from the FDA and are natural products.....poison ivy is natural and I am sure that there could be a little of that mixed in certain foods if it was in the field. I read what they were boosting in the nuts at one place, but cannot remember. It detoxifies the chemical that was created by the microbe that grows on nuts and trace amounts of that chemical are used on things, if it is neutralized, it does not have to be written on the lable. Lots of chemicals are used to treat our foods, especially veggies, and they do not have to be listed because they neutralize them....but it alters the taste.

Can I have one crown? I also said something about Crown Candy.

(Basically just testing to see if I'm still able to post. I wondered about it due to another thread.)
