I remember when chocolate syrup was really true chocolate syrup. Also cocoa powder was the real thing and when you made cocoa with it, the flavor was intense. Not at all like the fake cocoa.

Big suprise, they shut down their US plant and move it over the border and then change to crap products... enjoy the kidneystones.

I'm surprised nobody has mention Bernard Calabeau Chocolate... He has been nominated more than once as the worlds best chocolatier...
To die for....
Also there is Scharfenberger Chocolate out of California but I think Hersheys bought them out... Too bad!

Hershey’s Syrup - with “Genuine Chocolate Flavor”
is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Nestle Nesquik bills itself as Chocolate Syrup and
is made with Sugar.

Well yes, it’s not 1958 anymore unfortunately.

I’ve heard of him .... Calgary, eh? But unless it is mass marketed ... I don’t get to the metros often enough to get to appreciate such luxuries.

I live overseas, and coke with sugar apparently still is the norm in much of the world. It is very distinct from the so-called coke classic.
That said, I am under the impression the actual formula (aside from the sweetener) has changed as well over the last decade internationally.

Have you ever tried Endangered Species brand with raspberries or blueberries? They are sooo good! :~) I like Green & Blacks caramel and milk chocolate with almonds too. There's also a company that makes individual peppermint patties that are really good. Can't remember the name of the company though. They all have real chocolate. :~)

I have not bought HERSHEYS chocolate for years. There is so much wax in their chocolate it is like eating candle wax. I only buy SYMPHONY bars. Yes they are now owned by HERSHEYS co but they did not used to be. They were so much better than HERSHEYS wax fax chocolate that HERSHEYS bought them out and kept the recipe the same. WALMART sells a half a pound bar of SYMPHONY chocolate and it is ... scrumptious.

It’s been this way for some time. Very little “cheap” candy has any real chocolate in it.
Pay a little more and get the good stuff.

As a rule, we cant compete making any sort of functional commodity (cars, computers, furniture, clothing), but junk food is something we had always been good at (candy, soda, salty snacks, Twinkies). Now, even those are beginning to erode.I seem to recall reading that Hersheys production had moved to Mexico, sometime last year...
