Everyday Chocolate Bars
Price: About $2.
Region of Production: USA.
Doves’ Silky Smooth Raspberry & Dark Chocolate definitely impresses with a wacky raspberry swirl design, leaving the smooth bottom looking almost hypnotic. The naturally curvy bar though just seems confused with so many swirling patterns. I do, however, like that that the bar does...

Region of Production: Germany (location of company), USA
Price: $2.79 at CVS.
This bar has almost no discoloration at all, despite its price. Instead, you get a smooth top surface, crafted into perfect squares bearing the Ritter Sport mark. More negatively, the whole hazelnuts jut out excessively, both from the sides of the...

Wonka delivers on the presentation, with a glimmering purple wrapper. The Domed Dark Chocolate comes in dark chocolate squares, each with a protruding milk chocolate bulb (of a slightly different hue from the dark...

Price: About $2.
This bar does a good job of coming off as classy enough, despite its cheap price. The bar comes in little rectangles, each crafted into a perfect wave, with a Dove signature in the middle. There is some discoloration, but not too much.

Region of Production: USA.
Price: $2.79 at CVS.
Very nice presentation for a candy bar, with the Wonka knack for flair really showing through. The wrapper comes in an attractive purple and displays the ingredients prominently—a bit more flair than the typical...

La Iberica White Chocolate Bar
Peru
La Iberica is a “premier,” common producer of higher-end Peruvian chocolates, but it’s quality really doesn’t stand up to its name.
The bar has an odd taste for a white chocolate bar. Not very sweet at all (which is good), but it’s very bland. It has very little taste at...

La Iberica Dark Chocolate Bar
Peru
Like the La Iberica white chocolate bar, this just has an odd flavor. It’s nicer than the last, but it quickly turns awry with a strong, overpowering, coffee-like taste. It leaves a bad aftertaste. It does have a nice melt though, and its taste isn’t that bad. It has a nice hint of raspberry at...

Cote d’Or Chocolate—the whole brand
Belgian Chocolate
Cote d’Or is somewhat of a pricier, everyday chocolate, especially for foreign audiences. When I had it, though, it was in Belgium, where chocolate is taken so seriously that Cote d’Or is simply frowned upon as a candy bar, whereas for Americans it might seem...

Toblerone Dark Chocolate Bar
Swiss Chocolate, as tasted in America
Overall Score: 3.0/5.0 for a cheap, commercial chocolate.
Very good for a lower-quality chocolate. It’s not cloying at all, nor is it overly bitter. The sweetness is well balanced, even though there is the obvious honey and nougat sweetness that is...

Costa, Costa Bitter Bar
Dark Milk Chocolate Bar
Articulated in Chile. Found throughout South America.
Overall score: 2.2/5.0, for a cheap candy bar. 1.5/5.0 otherwise.
Starts out with a pretty neutral taste and gets increasingly intense. However, for a bitter chocolate, it doesn’t taste too bitter. It’s really more of a dark...
