is Godiva chocolate a ripoff scam?

Good. They don’t taste as good.

I briefly considered going there and then didn't.

Thank you.

You’re welcome. I will always go there.

Thanks from me, too. Right up there with "I feel badly."

Godiva hasn't been good since it was bought out.

I didn't know there was a Leonidas store locally. Good thing. Had them straight from Belgium years ago, and they were luscious.

Neuhaus is great.

For grocery store brands, I like the Lindt truffles.

+1,000 on Neuhaus. I lived in Belgium and it was the most affordable "nice" chocolate there. So tasty.

"How are you"

"I'm good!"

OP, do you want truffles in particular, or chocolate bars, etc.?

Neuhaus is fabulous for truffles, but for grocery store brands, there are several that I really love for my chocolate fix. Right now I am in love with Sirius chocolate, an Icelandic (!) brand available at Whole Foods. I also like Michel Cluizel.

Someone gave me some Vosges sea salt caramels for Christmas that were quite tasty, as well as a bar of their dark chocolate bacon bar. I'd definitely eat their truffles for sure if someone put them in front of me.

Yildiz, this Turkish company that also produces a bunch of other products like McVittie's, Carr's water crackers, etc.

Well and good are synonyms.

That doesn't mean their usage is the same. Keep studying.

Wockenfuss Candies is my favorite chocolate place locally.

Their chocolate covered gummi bears are so good.

Expensive chocolates don't taste that much better to warrent paying $100/lb. Emperior has no clothes...

But people buy them as gifts to show that they paid a lot for it. My favorite is good old Hershey's.

To me, hershey's tastes like wax. It's like wine, expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, but better is better! The smaller batch, better sourced and better made chocolates do tend to be pricier. Godiva? Too pricy but not better. If you like hershey's then enjoy your bargain!

Hershey's and all the cheap chocolate truffles that use fake chocolate and oil gross me out.
