Chocolove 33% Milk Chocolate Bar.
About $3 for 3.2 oz. (90g), but I’ve seen it as low as $2.65.
Organic Chocolate.
I’m not the greatest fan of organic chocolate, and unfortunately Chocolove doesn’t do anything to change my view with this 33% Milk Chocolate Bar.

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...

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.

Rich dark flavor, but not quite as smooth as I’d like it. Not sweet at all. A bit too bitter though.Melts okay in the mouth—in contrast to some of the other bars, does not have the candy bar taste artificial slipperiness. At the same...

Aguila Mousse Limon
Milk Chocolate Bar filled with Lemon Mousse
Argentina
Overall Score: 3.3/5.0 for a cheap, commercial chocolate.
First thought—delicious! Really smooth in the mouth and very creamy and rich. It is too much on the sweet side (it’s a commercial, non-artisanal chocolate after all), but it’s a nice, sugary fix....

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar
As found in Argentina
This chocolate bar was tasted in Argentina, so it might be an Argentine version.
It’s a bit on the hard side. It’s also very rich, creamy, sugary, and sweet. It’s kind of cloying and certainly would be if I didn’t eat only 2 pieces of it. Nice melt, though, and it has a...
