Here in Canada, ingredients on Dairy Milk are "Milk, Sugar, Cocoa butter, skim milk, whole milk powder, unsweetened chocolate, butter oil, soy lethicin, artificial flavour". No mention of palm oil, and if there is a difference in taste between the British and Canadian recipes, it is very hard to tell. I was born and raised in Yorkshire and I do assert it is a pretty close match.

I agree with you on Hershey's. I'm South African, and like in the UK, Cadbury tends to be our most popular chocolate. Recently, however, an import Candy store opened up in my town and I tried a few Hershey's chocolates from there, I found them all to be overwhelmingly sweet and sugary, really lacking that creamy quality you'd expect from milk chocolate. I'm pretty sure I've seen some Milka bars there as well though, so I might need to give them a try soon. 😋

Yes! I'm from Poland and since I tried Tony's (purchased it online) I fell in love. Much higher quality than most chocolates on the market, it's creamy, milky, caramely, has more cocoa content and the flavors are amazing, especially their salted caramel, pretzel caramel nougat or hazelnut crunch - I love these. Not to mention their case, brilliant. Quite expensive but definitely good value for money, I'd rather buy Tony's than Milka or other. The only disappointment so far were the Ben&Jerry bars, and white chocolate bars just because I'm not a fan of white chocolate. Tony's is addictive.❤

Thank you. I will have to try Tony's. It is at the store, but the less refined graphics turned me off a bit when I saw it. Can't wait to try it and love the shape

Me personal top three are 1. Ritter Sport (Germany) 2. Cadbury Dairy Milk 3. Milka Needless to say I prefer very "milky" chocolate rather than the strong cocoa taste.
