some new "warnings" coming to a store near you:

-Planter's Peanuts: WARNING MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS!!
That warning was on a nut roll that I bought last year.

It is unfortunate that an advanced society can be so hamstrung by its legal system.

LOL, then you MUST buy Hershey's! The regular Hershey's bars taste like chocolate-flavored wax. Symphony bars and Pots of Gold are OK, though.

There probably is wax in them now, and it's probably carnauba wax. When I was little, my favorite was O Henry bars, then as I got older they didn't seem to taste so good, so I switched to another. Then in the course of doing some research into something else, I discovered that O Henry bars were no longer covered with chocolate, but a 'chocolate-flavored' cottonseed meal. Tasted like it, too.

But I'm NOTNOTNOT gonna give up Cadbury Easter Eggs, just because there might be milk in their chocolate!

EWWWWWWW! That is really disgusting! I do believe American companies put wax in their "chocolate." So, I buy Cadbury most of the time or Belgian chocolate for special occasions.

I'm afraid as a terrible chocolate snob it would be better if the warning read : "May not contain chocolate".... Cadbury's to me doesn't taste of chocolate at all !

There are some recipes for home made fancy chocolates that do call for a bit of wax, but it's parrafin, the same kind used to seal home made jams and jellies. But if I'm going to eat commercially made chocolate, I prefer the European kinds, with the exception of an occasional Three Musketeers. Not much they can do to ruin those - or if it was available here, I'd get Violet Crumbles, those are lovely.

I love Lindt chocolates. And Milka bars! Which I can't find here in the States (Milka). I was in the UK for several months, and never really cared for Cadbury.... But on the other hand, I think British Snickers bars taste much better than American ones. The chocolate is creamier. Maybe American Snickers are waxy as well & British ones aren't? Who knows!
