Slightly off topic since this article is about Cadbury, but this keeps coming up in this discussion.
American has plenty of good chocolate! Here's an article listing a whole slew of craft chocolatiers: https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/best-chocolate-shops-america https://www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/best-chocolate-shops-a...
Other than that, it's exceedingly easy to find Ghirardelli chocolate in particular in grocery stores, Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, etc. Many more options are available at high end and specialty stores like organic grocery stores. And, of course, there's always online ordering for the especially dedicated.
Besides all that, there are innumerable chocolate alternative craft candymakers catering to crowds that want alternative sweeteners, fats, etc. They're not really for me, but business seems to be going well for them.
- CursedUrn 5y agoRecommending craft chocolate is kind of missing the point. You can buy expensive specialist chocolate anywhere, but that's not the same sector of the market that Cadbury occupies. You should be comparing it to stuff like Hershey's.
- humanrebar 5y agoGhirardelli is easily available so it's not that "craft". And, yeah, it costs maybe twice Hershey's, but if someone is that hard up for a few bucks, chocolate itself probably needs to be less of the budget. Mostly I'm pushing back on the meme that Americans don't produce or appreciate good chocolate. They do, though bigco chocolate certainly has better market share, product placement, mind share, etc.
