    Some people in this thread must lack all self-control. If you get a solid chocolate bunny, you don’t try to stuff it all into your face at once like a giant deranged hamster. You gnaw a little off every day, putting it in the fridge between gnawing, basking in the knowledge that it waits for you to gnaw a bit more tomorrow.

    It gets worse. Most of those things barely count as chocolate from a food perspective. Technically, we're talking about chocolate-flavored molded wax. Factor in the lower milk-fat content of American chocolates, and you get something the average European would find inedible.

    As an average European, I can confirm. The quality of regular American chocolate was a shock. VERY much alike "chocolate-like product" (that was the official term) in the good old days behind the iron curtain. I guess at least they were upfront about it. There is good, "artisan" chocolate. Costs arm and leg, and I suppose they wouldn't defile their product by shaping it like a chocolate bunny 😂 But the majority of the mass produced stuff is garbage.
