cadbury christmas balls!

If you look at the label of US made Cadbury bars, the licensee is Hershey. You cannot, in fact, request Cadbury in England to ship you a box of any of their chocolate, because the trade agreement with Hershey preclude them from doing so. Hershey chocolate is not nearly as sweet as Cadbury chocolate. Either we get it from rellies in England, or import shops. Even then, sometimes the import shops don't have ENGLISH Cadbury's, they offer (to me) spurious Cadbury chocolates from South Africa and the like . Different countries have different tastes in chocolate, and in the case of South Africa, the formulation is done so as to withstand the heat. So it doesn't taste the same as the English Cadbury's .

Interesting thread. My preference in mass produced chocolate is Green & Black - an organic choice. The Maya Gold is fabulous, it has spices in it! yummy. But I melt before Purdy's chocolates. I was so happy when I realized there is a Purdy's store in my new home town.

Now I must say I do like those Cadbury mini eggs....but they are sweeter than I want, and totally addictive. I'm going to do my best to not notice the Christmas ones this year!! Thanks for the heads up!
