TIL Milka is now American owned.

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 2 points 1 year ago

It's produced by Kraft Jacobs Suchard, now named Mondelez since the 90s.

Feastables are a freaking joke to begin with.

Feodora Edelbitter Sahne (IDK what the international name is) is really good if you like higher cocoa content (it's milk chocolate with 50% cocoa IIRC). The company seems to be Danish.

Also Tony's Chocolonely, it's fairtrade and from the Netherlands. Love the caramel one.

You seem to have left Prince biscuits out by accident!

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're already in the meme!

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Ha, so they are. Didn't recognise the fancy ones!

When my father was young, he used to live close to a chocolate factory. Built during communism, privately owned by a local company following the collapse. I looked it up out of curiosity.

It's now owned by fucking Nestlé.

Makes me wonder if there's an EU manufacturer of shaped charges.

Saab might be able to hook you up.

It even has anti structure ammo.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget Tony's Chocolonely!

Sorry, but no. There are lots of European chocolate makers to choose from, that make chocolate that actually has the chocolate taste.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 8 points 1 year ago

Definitely not less chocolatey than OP's Prinzen Black and White or Corny bar. And it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure it beats Ritter Sport Alpenmilch, too.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not everyone has the money to buy Lindt or Leonidas always though.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the actual Snickers replacement? That one doesn't look like it tastes similarly and my SO is addicted.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are similar chocolates in lidl and similar stores. Basically a snickers but not branded that way.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And I swear they taste the same but according to my SO they are a little bit different. I'll give it some effort to see if they tolerate alternatives, thanks!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's bias. Try buying a couple different brands from different stores and do a blind test on your SO. Unwrap them and have them test and see if they can tell them apart and ask which one is the best.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ritter is absolutely amazing, so long as there's no marzipan. Tried one with marzipan once, my first experience with marzipan, and I absolutely hated the marzipan. It's one of the few food related things I absolutely hate the taste of. Otherwise, they are perfectly acceptable to me.

My OH got me a Neuhaus advent calendar this Christmas and it was incredible, I've become obsessed and I am not usually a sweets kind of girl

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nah, Oreo's are great. I don't eat any candy bar because they are all trash in America, but no matter if the other brands are made of cocoa blessed by the smoothest chocolate goddess in Ghana and mixed by the deftest elves in Switzerland, Oreo is better.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know what's in the Oreo Crble but it just doesn't fucking compare. The cream is whatever.
