    I think a large detterent for many is the price difference. Hershey’s kind of matches that snack price for a little treat you’d find at the front counter. Going back to the good stuff and seeing it 3 or 4 times the price will lose a lot of people. There’s a reason people say you get what you pay for though…

        I am buying $1 bars of dark chocolate at dollar general now. Luckily I haven’t really had good chocolate, so I don’t know what I am really missing, and I like it better than Hershey’s milk chocolate to me. Claims profits help literacy, so I doubt it is really that great of a chocolate when you get down to it. But I like it and that is enough for me.

      Chocolate made it all the way down to snack price because of slavery and a lack of safety. So I no longer treat chocolate as a snack.
