Whitaker chocolate nz I'd the best
Best supermarket chocolate? Just go to Aldi's.
I grew up eating chocolate sent at Christmas from my German grandparents. They sent German, Swiss and Belgian chocolate. I'm a chocolate snob!
Rummaging thru sis's frig for pickles one day, I found a stash of my BIL's chocolate from his family in Norway shoved deep into a back corner. I asked sis why it was there. She answered,"He thinks he needs to hide it so no one else will eat it." We both paused for a moment and then burst into massive laughter, resulting in crying tears. Absolute WORST chocolate in the world: Norwegian. Sorry Norway – love you guys, but the chocolate ? Just no.
Not sure which is worse, the chocolate or the Aquavit.
Chocolate for President
Nama chocolates from Japan is the best I’ve tried…if I will go back to Japan surely I will buy a lot…
Best is Lindt & Ghirardelli
Milk chocolate is not healthy, there is now 70, 80 & 90%
A poor test of chocolate
Lindt is the best milk chocolate in my opinion. Very smooth, creamy, and no weird aftertaste
First time viewer of the channel and wow did this feel fake. Not once did they connect with the viewer, felt like commercial driven TV again. Content wasn't what I was looking for, nothing I've heard of and lacking anything informative relative to what I purchaser find or am looking for.
No-one uses the success, of good milk chocolate. This is something that people have been asking for, for decades, and no-one has managed to answer to this popularity yet. It's like there would be nothing possible and profitable to do there, which is not true. They need special contacts and learning, to figure out that this is something that would be popular and asked for, among the people. They're like in a level of Nazi authorities in not offering the people what they are asking for, for decades or longer, and denying it all, all the time. This is a failure in real responsibilities and it should not be prolonged in a way like this. These are common tasks to be done and they are possible and have been for ages. There are no explanations in not doing them.
I wonder if Aldi " Choceur" chocolate was in the running. It's very good.
Wow, how stupid is that?! Even the guy and the lady had to laugh at the end, probably thinking, "Can you believev this is how we make money?"- "I know!" 😄
Hello! I'm curious what your favorite Trader Joe's Chocolate Bar is…Very Important!!! Many thanks!
Love, love, love Cadbury Dairy Milk, especially British Dairy Milk. If I'm going for a favorite, I'd have to say it would be the British Galaxy bar. Soooo good.
I would have liked to see the brands we see at the store tested. The one she liked best is not at my stores.
My favorite milk chocolate is the Walmart brand. It doesn't have any artificial flavors and of course it is a skim milk product which makes it delicious and its $3 which is pretty good
I have to disagree that there isn't bad chocolate. Generally speaking, American chocolate is crap. Hershey's is not fine; it is absolutely awful. An Irish friend commented that it tasted "literally like dog's vomit". Now I'm not sure how she knew what dog's vomit tasted like, but I'd agree with the sentiment. Giving a Hershey's Kiss should be considered an insult.
And similarly with the US version of Cadbury's. It is better than Hershey's, but it completely pales in comparison to Cadbury's chocolate made in Ireland or the UK.
If you want decent cheap chocolate get Ritter Sport. If you are in a place with a World Market, a store selling Irish goods, or Arabic goods, go for the Cadbury's.
If someone offers you a Hershey's Kiss, the correct reply is, "Thank you, but I prefer chocolate."
Why would anyone care when they can buy dark chocolate? Nostalgia?
Why only test three? There are so many more on the shelves in super markets especially places like Trader Joe's and Sprouts's etc.
Endangered Species also makes a Mint+Dark Chocolate bar that is amazing and delicious. Seriously my favorite chocolate bars.
It's not often I have to downvote an ATK video, but this is a joke. There is no bad chocolate? Really? Biased towards dark chocolate at all? Missing iconic brands in your test? This is not to be taken seriously.
There is bad milk chocolate, and it's Hershey's. Absolute garbage, IMO. Believe it or not, I like Walmart cheapo brand at $1 a bar. A great deal, imported from Switzerland and I find it creamy and delicious. I'm sure there's better chocolate (I haven't tried them all), but not at that price point.
Life without chocolate is like life without LOVE!!!🥰😊
Does anybody remember chunky with everything loaded up in it? Cadbury fruit and nut was good too
I would like to ask what is the best grounded cinnamon to buy at the supermarkets?
“Redefined” as in re-engineered with no cocoa and just sweet garbage.
Scharffen Berger is great when you can get it….. real popular on west coast but rare here in MidWest
Hi!
I have three favorites, but I think only one of them is American?
1) Tony’s (the big bars that look like they came from Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory)
2) World’s Finest chocolate – if you’re a Chicagoan, you would know this brand because it’s used for school fundraisers
3) Ritter’s chocolate, from Germany (?)
Lindt!
Lindt is my favorite.
European chocolate hands down winner!! American chocolate is missing something in it.
Newsflash: ppl who like MILK chocolate are NOT going for the highest cacao content. We WANT it sweet, NOT bitter. If we didn't, we'd be eating DARK chocolate. Seems like ATK got it backwards. Maybe the testers were really dark chocolate lovers.
Hershey's is nasty!
Ghirardelli chips is the only one I will put in my cookies. Hershey I like alot . Lindnt to me is awful it has a oily taste to it and aftertaste
Cadbury all the way
Isn’t it time we moved on from milk chocolate. There is no such thing as “the best milk chocolate.” The “best milk chocolat” is no milk chocolate……
I tried Endangered Species and had to spit it out . . . .
Personally, I avoid chocolates that use corn syrup – it always has a sticky, strange mouthfeel that interferes with the smooth creaminess that I look for in any good chocolate, milk or otherwise
I'm surprised how annoyed I've been since watching this, since I know it's not actually that serious a thing. But if I'm looking for the best milk chocolate, why would I pick the one that even the judges said doesn't taste like milk chocolate, but like dark chocolate. If you would think that it was dark chocolate if someone didn't tell you it was labeled milk chocolate, then it's not the best milk chocolate.
If I were wanting dark chocolate taste, wouldn't I buy dark chocolate? Shouldn't the winner of best milk chocolate actually be milk chocolate, rather than dark chocolate or bitter- or semi-sweet chocolate? It seems like there was some category fraud going on here, with some brands mis-categorizing their chocolate, but I'd have hoped the judging panel would have weeded that out (maybe including the non-milk chocolates as recommended with reservations). It seems like something is sub-optimal with the judging when a customer who wants the best (actual) milk chocolate would need to go to the fourth or fifth entry on the full list before reaching an actual milk chocolate. And, the actual best milk chocolates (that are recognizably milk chocolates) aren't the ones featured on the show. I've finished venting now, thanks.
The delusional power of nostalgia. In any other country but the US where a wide variety of chocolate is available, Hershey would be in the bottom three, not the top three. Too little chocolate, too much sugar, far too much wax and candy-like texture. Yuck. I love chocolate, but given the choice between no chocolate and a Hershey bar I mostly pick nothing!
please test more than 3 brands when it is a large category
I would enjoy them all…Choosing one over the other, would be like having a favorite child.
Cadbury for me all day long
I can’t believe they actually put Hershey’s in this test. It has such a distinct and knowable taste to Americans. And it is not good at all. If you want decent milk chocolate for a reasonable price, go to Aldi and get the German chocolate. You will not regret it!
Who remembers Sky Bars?
Why do they always display like 6 or 7 varities…but then only taste 3 or 4 of them? I never get that. And they do it all the time….Scharffen Berger….never even heard of that one….
Aldi’s choceur chocolate with almonds ! Better than all the test samples.
"no such thing as bad chocolate" Has he tasted hershey's?
Lindt might make the best milk chocolate truffles, the red ones, but their milk chocolate bar is no match for Cadbury's. And I expected Lindt to be the superior bar, but no. Ghirardelli's always had an odd chocolate flavor, I rate it at the bottom of all. Dove is decent, but it's main feature is how fast it melts in your mouth. Ritter is meh. I would like to see exactly how they did the test with the audiance so the Endangered Species came out on top. I trust Julia's palate. If she says it's waxy, it's waxy. Why would anyone vote to eat a candle, even a chocolate one.
