Looks like since Hershey's couldn't pursuade the FDA to change the ingredients of "milk chocolate", now they are making some of their products with "Chocolate Candy" (read - using oil instead of cocoa butter).

Now I have to be careful about which chocolate products I buy for pick-me-ups!!!

This is what I tried to explain in the "Underated Candybar" thread; Hershey's does not care.

It's as sad as a late 70's Ford Mustang II.

You think I WANT to teach my daughter to make s'mores with Nestle chocolate? Of course not, but I gotta do what I gotta do. And yes, I realize that the 'classic' Hersey bar is still milk chocolate, but it's not good milk chocolate. They don't even pretend like it is anymore; remember when they used to come with the brown outer sleeve and the inner foil wrapper? Now it's all one piece. Ugly Susie doesn't even get a nice dress anymore.

My fellow Americans, it's time to march up to Hershey Pennsylvania and kick some bean counter butt.

It's what we used to call 'margarine chocolate' - cheap and fake.

Trans fat + high fructose corn syrup does not = chocolate

BTW Cadbury's is still the real thing - and made by Hershey's in the US...

So, can we morph this into what is the best S'more chocolate bar replacement? We don't have them that often, I wouldn't mind buying a more expensive bar if it will guarantee superb results. Hmmm... does this deserve it's own thread?

That would be some 'cocoa bean counter butt', I assume?

Well Hershey's has certainly succeeded in making their products less expensive for me, I won't buy them

I am in mourning.

Hershey chocolate has always been crap compaired to expensive Swiss and German chocolate. Read the ingreadients on everything you buy and you'll be better off.
