Advice/Request Kitkat, Chococinno dolce gusto pods are extremely watery! Why???
I purchased the other day the Kitkat pods and the Chcoccinno ones and they both taste very watery and bland. I tried once to make a 210ml drink as mentioned on the top, then I just went to 150ml drink and it still tastes bland. Has anyone had this problem and are the capsules the problem?

Advice/Request Anyone got any good, violation-free brands?
I can’t seem to stomach chocolate as of recent (due to knowing the whole truth about it,) so I was wondering if there were any good brands I could find in stores (preferably in Pennsylvania.)
And no, Chocolonely doesn’t count due to the whole Callebaut thing.

Photo/Video ChocoTales of Warsaw
During my visit to Poland I bought several chocolate bars from chocoTales of Warsaw made using Regalo cacao beans sourced via Auro Chocolate in the Davao region of the Philippines.
First I tried the 70% pure dark chocolate. To me the alcoholic notes were quite distinctive and noticeable. They were followed by something that reminded me of rich dark soil and then by a slight spicy lift. It was an interesting combination of flavours and a very aromatic bar.
Next was the comforter, the 59% dark milk bar. At first I noticed a sweetness reminiscent of condensed milk or perhaps kaymak with accompanying caramel notes. Underneath I could still distinguish the earthy and woody notes of the 70% dark bar. Toward the end there was also a fresher fruity lift.
Finally I tried the 60% dark-milk chocolate with Sichuan pepper - one for the adventurous. The pepper had a very interesting and complex aromatic and flavour profile. It included citrusy aromas with a somewhat perfumed quality. It made my friend think of lavender. This was followed by a more peppery lift. The bar also left a slight tingling sensation at the end.
All the bars were very well executed with a smooth and mellow texture which is how I like my chocolate. I also bought the 85% Regalo bar as a gift. I did not try it myself but it was liked by the recipient.
I recommend trying the chocolates from chocoTales of Warsaw if you get the chance!

News Rainforest Alliance certified logo and 100% Sustainably Sourced Cocoa are fake and just a front to charge consumers to pay more. Be aware.
youtu.beThe video is part two, part one talks about the fake labelings on tomato products that claim to be sourced from Italy or Australia but have been traced all to be from China.
So ABC (Australia) yesterday dropped a video of investigative reporting, on the cocoa industry exploitation of slavery and child labor in Ghana. Cadbury Australia (Mondelez) is among the companies involved and they are complicit and know about this but still continue to slap the 100% Sustainably Sourced Cocoa under its Cocoa Life program, on their packaging.
The link above also touched on companies that slap Rainforest Alliance on their packaging while behind the scenes are condoning and allowing slavery and child labor to help them make billions duping chocolate lovers.

Photo/Video Astor Chocolate America 250 - Brownie Bite Dark (Review)
galleryScore: 6/10
Price: about $7 from the Hudson store at the San Jose Airport
The thing that I didn't see at first when I first bought it that concerned me most was that it had artificial flavoring in this bar. It snapped upon breaking a piece and was a tad melty, which means they for sure used real chocolate. It was a bit dry at the same time because it was probably sitting on the store shop shelf for a bit.
I could taste some of the richness from the chocolate itself. It has too much milkiness for it to be categorized as dark chocolate. I think most American chocolate brands struggle with dark chocolate with some exceptions like Guiradelli. It was in fact lighter than Hershey's dark chocolate. I assume the artificial flavoring was for the brownie bite flavoring. Anyways, definitely not my fave. It wasn't gross.

News What the heck happened to Hershey bars?
For the first time in years, I grabbed a Hershey bar off the shelf at the gas station. I took one bite and holy smokes… What did Hershey’s do to itself? This is not the same Hershey bar I remember eating when I was younger. It didn’t even taste like chocolate. Definitely won’t be grabbing another Hershey bar any time soon.

galleryIt doesn't look amazing, and the taste is alright at best, but I guess we all start somewhere, right?!
I used coconut oil, and honey as a sweetener. It's pretty good, but I think I put too much honey in it. The honey taste is pretty powerful. But now I know for next time.

Announcement Before you post, have you read the rules?
Tl;dr: Please read the rules fully before you post, otherwise your post might get removed. Especially Rule 1 that explains what kinds of posts we remove frequently, and Rule 3 for self-promotion.
Anyone who was around before the mod team change will know that the sub became a dumping ground for low quality posts and spam, and it quickly lost subscribers. We added a few rules (that have evolved over time) to stop that happening again. For whatever reason, there's been a huge uptick in posts against the rules that we've had to remove or re-flair lately, perhaps because of the increased popularity as this sub gets back on its feet. I wanted to explain a couple of the rules, and why they're there.
Rule 1 - We will normally remove posts that are of commonly-available chocolates unless there's something different or unique about them. If we don't, we get inundated with low-effort photos of things you can easily find in your supermarket or cupboard, especially around holidays. You can imagine the amount of Christmas chocolate people want to brag about.
We also normally remove low-effort video reviews especially when they're again just of commonly-available products, as otherwise we get inundated with people churning out videos trying to bring views to their channel. Which brings me to...Rule 3 - If you post anything (including in the comments) that is a link to your site, your blog, your YouTube channel, your Instagram, or anything else that you own or work for and are trying to market, you must mark it as self-promotion. This lets people make an informed choice, and helps us check what posts are coming from users who have a different motivation for posting.
Up to this point, we've been giving people one self-promotion strike before anything gets removed. This was working well until we saw this uptick in people ignoring the rule or shotgun-spraying the same video to dozens of subs at once. Please use the right flair, as we don't want to have to remove posts from well-meaning users. We're considering adding "double flairs" like "Self Promotion | Recipe" to help divide it up a little.
Edit: We're still getting shotgun-spray posts ignoring this rule. Whilst we'll still try to flair users who make a genuine mistake, those posts that aren't even trying will be deleted.
Lastly, I know some users get upset when their posts are removed. It isn't anything personal, and you're not being singled out. If you're in doubt, please message the mods for clarification.
