Why is British chocolate SOOO much nicer than American?!
Is chocolate made differently in America? Whenever my American relatives visit England, they stock up on loads of chocolate, as they agree too that it is just so much better!
Anyone know why? Anyone dare to disagree? lol
Answers: When I was in America, I tried loads of different chocolate bars (or, as Americans call them, candy bars) and even the ones we have in England, like Mars bars and Snickers, just tasted absolutely NASTY!

The main difference between American Chocolate and English Chocolate is, England typically adds more dairy products to stretch out their chocolate production, producing a milkier smooth chocolate. In American, their add more vegetable oils rather than the dairy producing a greasier chocolate that leaves a after taste, (much cheaper than using dairy) Americans are used to it but are starting to learn about better chocolate.. Also Europeans are used to darker chocolates.
i agree with you 100%.
english chocolate is softer, tastier, and more delicious.
perhaps this is because milk in england is richer than in america.
i love to look at british cattle and sheep.
in america, i dont see such beauties.
to tell you the truth, even cake , french cakes, and cookies arent as good as in england.
perhaps owing to the same reason.
I wouldn't dare disagree as I regularly spend triple for Dairy Milk here in Canada on UK imports, however, I think the difference may partly be due to grass fed cows as opposed to grain fed (not certain though).
You were buying cheap American chocolate. Milk chocolate isn't very good in general in comparison with dark chocolate. It's less chocolaty. There are dark chocolates that are better, search for American artisan chocolates.
Did you try Dagoba chocolate bars?
Hershey's sucks, even their dark chocolate. They use vanillin instead of vanilla among other crimes.
The mars and snickers bars are not made to showcase chocolate. They're mostly nougat and caramel and in the case of snickers, peanuts.
