  • Not to defend the US on pretty much anything, but there’s basically tiers of chocolate. Low quality mass produced chocolate (hershey’s, kit kat, etc) is almost always waxy, overly sweet, and sometimes has that weird butyric acid additive. Mid tier is like your Ghirardelli: popular nationally but more expensive than your low tier chocolate, still often quite sweet but you can at least get dark chocolate. High tier is usually regional artisan chocolate. I like Theo in the PNW but I think that’s going national lately.

    All of this is NOT a recommendation to buy these chocolates of course. Go get Tony’s Chocolonely if you can find it.
