Hershey's Mockolate - Thanks, but no thanks

[Woofer]

Oh, milk chocolate. Wherefore art thou?

Apparently not in some Hershey’s products that contained milk chocolate for years, and that has passionate chocolate aficionados fighting mad.

Full article here (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26788143/).


May said the recipe change has ruined the Hershey’s taste for her. But in a blind taste test conducted by TODAY, about half of the participants said they liked the new Hershey’s Kissables even better than the Kissables with cocoa butter.

Those disgusting miniature Kisses covered in cheap, M&M knock-off candy coating? Well, those are awful in the first place.

I don't like Hershey's full stop! Compared to Cadbury's it sucks...big time! We call that type of chocolate dog chocolate over here :lol: Meaning synthetic stuff that doesn't contain any cocoa (like dog treats, hence the name).

[Jean]

I don't really like either

Yeah, I know. I have known a lot of people from overseas, and Mr. Woofer spent several years of his youth overseas. I don't care for all Hershey's, but it is readily available and, as a rule, quite affordable. I live in the arm pit of the south. We JUST got a World Market (store), but it's about 30 miles from me. We do have some Cadbury's and other chocolate at my local groceries, but the selections are very limited and usually quite a bit more expensive than just a bag of Reese's cups.

[Heather19]

I never really eat Hershey's either, unless someone gets it for me, then of course I can't pass it up. But I agree it really isn't as good as other chocolates.
Lindt is hands down my favorite. They make the best truffles.

[Daghain]

Hershey's has really gone to hell since I was a kid. It's had some weird waxy taste to it for years now.

Belgian chocolates, however...oh yeah. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[cozener]

Not a fan of Hershey either. I like their Symphony sub-brand though. Why can't they just make that their regular chocolate?

Hmmm...now I have a taste for a Cadbury Egg...

[fernandito]

Reeses peanut butter cups is the shiznit, that's allzz I'm saying.

[Jackie]

Ewww wtf, i never tried the non-milk chocolate but why in the name of Gan would they change it?!?

[Girlystevedave]

If they mess with the chocolate in Reeses PB cups...Girlystevedave will go on a rampage. :shoot:
And for the record: I like Hershey's chocolate more than the other chocolates I've eaten. It's definitely better than that crap that Nestle uses. The only thing Nestle is good for is powdered chocolate milk and Butterfinger. :)

[Jackie]

Want to know an interesting fact about Hersheys chocolate and why it tastes so different from all other chocolate?

Warning thought, might make you double think about eating it, though it doesn't seem to bother me.

When they make the chocolate the process they use makes the milk go sour

I learned it on Foodnetwork, Unwrapped.

[Girlystevedave]

I don't know if anything could make me give up Reeses cups. :lol:

[Reverend Brimmstone]

Tell 'em SteveDave!

[Brice]

I don't know if anything could make me give up Reeses cups. :lol:

Haha i like that term, I'm a hershey whore too :lol:

Danm After this thread I'm so going to end up buying a millon dollars worth of hersheys chocolate :drool:

[Girlystevedave]

I know....I'm craving it bad now. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Cadbury and Godiva is where it's at as far as chocolate goes.

[Jackie]

Godiva YESSSS!!!! :drool::drool::drool::drool:

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Godiva is good, but I've been almoat ruined for it by having Nuehaus a few times. Much more expensive though :(

But to calrify something--did anyone else seem to get the idea that the new stuff is no only cheaper, and not as tasty--but also has less health benefits? Seriously--I'd rather they raise the prices. I am a Cadbury type person myself but living in the US, you can't just pop into the convienence store and grab it...

[cozener]

Yesterday I picked up a Cadbury bar with soft English toffee and took a bite.


I came.

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Wuducynn]

Damn dude. Seriously..Cadbury and Godiva is what chocolate IS.

[Rjeso]

I despise domestic chocolate. For a long time, I thought I didn't like chocolate at all. Then I found out I'm just super-picky about it, hee.

[Odetta]

Hershey's chocolate is pretty revolting! Unless you enjoy the taste of wax!

[Girlystevedave]

Yesterday I picked up a Cadbury bar with soft English toffee and took a bite.

Wow! I have never enjoyed any candy this much. :lol:

I have.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

English chocolate (i.e. Cadbury & others) has a pretty intense effect on me. I had my beau bring home as much as he could carry after visiing his family in the UK and it didn't last a week.

My mouth is watering now.


Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Dairy Milks..................:drool:

[Jean]

I have inquired, and found that it was illegal to send food products to the USA. If that rule could be somehow... you know... bent, - I would love to send my dear friends here some real chocolate.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Alas, I will have to suffer with what little decent American chocolate I can find, and hope we have the money to spend Christmas in London this year...:cry:

What is different about Russian chocolate, Jean?

[Jean]

it is Good. I don't know why, I am not a very big fan of chocolate. The fact is, all my friends who live abroad always take away tons of chocolate when they come here, and make me bring tons of chocolate to them when I go there; where "there" is doesn't matter (all over Europe). Note that I am not speaking about only those of my friends who are Russian by birth. Everyone who has ever tasted our chocolate - dark (up to 99% cocoa) or milk, plain or flavored (cognac, champagne, almonds, rum, orange.........), filled (raisins, orange peel, almonds, hazelnuts, coffee chips, cranberries..........) or not, asks for more and MORE and MORE.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

I must add Russian chocolate to my list of things to eat before I leave this world, then!

[Jean]

absolutely. I will try to find a way to smuggle you some.

[Brice]

I have recieved chocolate and other goodies from overseas a few times from one of our dear friends here. I don't believe I've ever tried or even seen Russian chocolate here though.


Jean, almost all rules can be bent. :D

[theBeamisHome]

i'm not really a fan of chocolate either, but i think i'm like Rjeso and just very picky because those Lindt truffles are divine! i can wolf down that cookies and creme hershey bar too... but that doesn't count because white chocolate isn't really chocolate at all.

[Wuducynn]

absolutely. I will try to find a way to smuggle you some.


Add me to this list please. :harrier:

[Odetta]

We have a guy who moved here from Belgium who is a chocolatier, and we only buy chocolate from him. His company is Bernard Callebaut and it is truly amazing.

[Rjeso]

Exactly. Same here on the Cookies & Cream bar, too. I love any white chocolate, even stuff that's generally pretty crappy, haha.

Lindt is wonderful, but I still like to go to the stores where I can get Frey or Milka.

Frey makes an amazing white chocolate that has very tart lemon and lime flavor granules in it, interspersed with black pepper flakes to give it a zest-y flavor. They also make a blood orange & cinnamon white chocolate. OMGyum.

[Daghain]

WTH is it with those people and melamine?

[Ves'Ka Gan]

I think it is part of some grand Chinese conspiracy to kill us with lead paint in our children's toys and melamine in our chocolate. :scared:

[Daghain]

I'm really starting to wonder. :panic:

[The Lady of Shadows]

i love chocolate. i know that comes as a total shock to you all so once you sufficiently recover i will continue.

::whistles whilst waiting::

recovered? good.

now then. godiva is so amazingly awesome i can't even go to the mall anymore because it draws me in like a magnet. seriously, it does. i don't mean to go to the godiva store. i just sort of end up there. magically. it's weird. . . . :orely:

it's so expensive though. but good gan it's worth it. the milk chocolate truffles are the best. and the chocolate covered marshmallows. :drool:

i am a huge fan of reese's cups. especially the miniatures. then you can eat more and not feel so bad about it. :P

i like special dark (that's hershey's i know).

dove chocolate rock. especially the dove promises (those little ones with things written on the wrappers). milk or dark, doesn't matter. love them.

i despise white chocolate. what's the fucking point of white chocolate? in fact, i hate any colored chocolate. it would be like letting someone else rewrite the dark tower series. why fuck with perfection? why? :panic:

okay. that's my chocolate rant for now. but i'll return with more later. and ves, you should bring me some english chocolates if you go there for the holidays. :drool:

:)

I have considered the issue of Why Mini Reese's Cups Taste Better Than Their Larger Brothers. My conclusion is the higher chocolate-to-peanut butter ratio. They're evil! I love them.


i like special dark (that's hershey's i know).

Yeah. Special dark is excellent with a small glass of ice cold milk.


dove chocolate rock. especially the dove promises (those little ones with things written on the wrappers). milk or dark, doesn't matter. love them.

Mmm. Dove.

White chocolate is an abomination - at least for chocolate. It might be fine if it wasn't calling itself chocolate. I don't know. I've only had it on pretzels in the last 15 years.

why do they even call white chocolate chocolate?

[Jean]

I don't see why it, either. I understand chocolate (see my hymn to Russian chocolate somewhere above), but I don't like it - but I love, absolutely adore that white, pink, yellow, and pistachio-colored stuff everyone here despises.

[Brice]

I love it too...whether it's actually chocolate or not. It's delicious.

There is one in the mall near my house that has a fountain of chocolate. I could just stare at it for hours.

I have only once seen one, in Camden Lock last summer.

Still no real idea if we will go back to London for Christmas--but my beau may be going back in early November (family stuff :( ) If he goes & I can't (which if he goes then, I surely won't be able to!!) then believe you me--he will be bringing back at least a suitcase full--which I may allow my arm to be twisted into sharing :couple:

And Woofer!! I looooove Sandra Boyton! Instead ofa card, I got my boyfriend a Sandra Boyton baord book for our anniversary!

[Woofer]

She is awesome.
Written, Illustrated, and Overly Researched by Sandra Boynton That is classic!

[jayson]

Way back in the long long ago of 1995, my wife (who was still my girlfriend at that point) worked in a Godiva store. She used to bring home free goodies every night. I wish she still worked there. :drool:
