Overrated - Three Musketeers

Underrated - Whatchamacallit (not as easy to find these days but still available in some places and online)

Overrated: anything Hershey's. They really don't make good chocolate.

Underrated: chocolate in general. When you gotta have chocolate you gotta have chocolate! I like Lindt.

It to big to eat after dinner and do you really grave a chocolate mint except after eating fish or something.
Too big. That's why they come in mini's, which are awesome.
Fun fact: Number 1 city in the world when it comes to YPP consumption? By far, Cincinnati, OH, where they are sold for a quarter (the minis) at every Skyline chili parlor. Plus, dark chocolate.

So simple and so good
I would agree with you on this one if it weren't made from crappy Hershey's chocolate. I seriously don't know how anyone who works for Hershey's sleeps at night knowing they make such a substandard product. Nestle just kicks their butts, and it's sad. The USA has the technology. The only thing they do right is Special Dark, and it's only about half as good as the dark chocolate I get at Aldi.

What do you think is over rated or under rated which one you will never have again and what one you want to try?
You probably wouldn't like the toffee in it, but I think the Toblerone bar is a dang good candy bar.

It's just a taste difference. European chocolate seems smoother (more fat in it) and less sweet. I like Hershey's but it can be too sweet and a little gritty. Baby Ruth's chocolate is awful.

Anyway, I think 3 Musketeers is pretty overrated.

Toffifay, if you can find it, is pretty underrated, although technically it's not a bar.

I have to agree with you to an extent - the Lindt chocolate manufactured and sold in a bag here in the states is pretty greasy...the Lindt 70% cacao bar that I bought in Austria tastes nothing like those grease balls. And speaking of balls and Austria, has anyone here ever had Mozart Kugeln? I also like the tallern - they are made by Mirabell. Some of the best chocolate in the world.

Is it one of the Excellence bars? I don't like the bagged chocolates. We eat little sugar so those seem much too sweet.
