My favorite chocolate bar (not candy bar)

Artificial cherry might be my most hated flavor. It's between that, and grape. Neither taste like the fruit they purport to represent.

Cuz cherry has no real flavor. Its just sweet.

Somewhat off topic, but do hersheys kisses taste like vomit? Or is it only me?

It might be the polyglycerol polyricinoleate they use to substitute for cocoa butter (a cost saving move, which is a shame because cocoa butter is delicious). Or the soy lecithin, but that's a more common emulsifier.

WORLDS FINEST CHOCOLATE. Love that fundraising goodness.

Yes. Yes they do.

Or sort of, more a rancid milk flavour.

Someone brought a bunch of them to the ward I work on and staff there usually demolish any sort of chocolate there in short order. We ended up throwing them out.

It's because they make the milk go off before they use it.

D: Did not know they did that. Even as a kid I always preferred Cadbury's Dairy Milk (used to love eating them whenever my family would go to India every few years... dirt cheap, but good).

I don't like this reasoning that a chocolate bar is somehow not a candy bar.

Let's have a discussion about chocolate and we have to ignore the superior Snickers and Baby Ruth, but bits of cherry substance is OK? I'm so mad.

Dairy milks a pretty awesome basic milk chocolate bar.

My point was to distinguish the genre of the 'higher end' chocolate bars from the genre of candy bars which can be and usually are very different, like a favorite, U-NO.

It does have a cherry flavor.
