Plamer's Milk Chocolate Bar

Today I am reviewing Palmer's brand milk chocolate Merry Money candy bar that I bought at Meijer. At first I was surprised at how good it tasted. I then realized that this was probably due to the fact that this candy brand is like comfort food. This is the typical chocolate a consumer may receive around the holidays, such as in a giant chocolate bunny form for Easter. After realizing this, I tried to look at it from a different perspective. This chocolate did not quite have as strong as a waxy taste as I was thinking it would. Personally, I think it tastes less waxy than the popular Hersey bar. However, it does not quite taste like true chocolate either. It is much sweeter. After looking at the ingredients I notice that sugar is the first ingredient listed and cocoa is listed as the 4^th ingredient. This definitely makes it seem less like a chocolate bar and more like a sugar bar.

The texture is also a little funny. I find it a little thick when comparing it to other chocolates. Overall, I do not dislike the taste of the chocolate, but it definitely does not taste like real chocolate. Some with a sweet tooth may find this candy bar very good, but I wouldn't expect it to top many chocolate bars. I think though many Americans have emotional ties to this chocolate, due to the time that it is given and the reasons of which it is given. These reasons could outweigh the taste and quality of the chocolate.

Overall I would give this a 3 out of 10
