Why would you get any of these when e.g. E. Wedel and Wawel exist? Poland has some of the best chocolate.

Never heard of Polish chocolate. Will have to find and see if I can get any way over here.

Can recommend Canadian choc as well: Purdy's and Laura Secord at the very least.

Be careful of Cadbury, for those considering.

In the US it is mostly Hershey's, everywhere else it's fine.

Or just plainly and simply drop all those big chocolate brands. There is so many better, smaller chocolate brands in literally every european country.

Pretty sure a few of those American ones are the same brand.

Isnt Cote dโ€™or made in the chocolate capital that is Belgium?

Some of the others shown donโ€™t even have the minimum cacao requirement to be legally sold as chocolate according to Belgium law.
