marion11111 goes out on a limb:

OK, OK I'll just *say* it.  I like Hersheys.  I prefer milk chocolate and maybe it's nostalgia, 
but a Hershey bar is my idea of chocolate.  I like the skinniness or the bar and the snap.  I 
also like the slightly "off" taste.  I saw a TV special about chocolate and Hershey made his 
chocolate with soured milk.  That is the unique taste. I also like Dove which is as different 
as can be from Hershey.  

I like Godiva's truffles - especially if you can find a store that sells the ones with real 
liquor - but the chocolate all tastes like it has cherry in it to me.  I have to admit, I was 
enchanted when I saw Moonstruck chocolates in Macy's last Christmas and bought a 
bunch of the little mice and kittens and other cute shapes.  Maybe I got a stale batch, but 
they were the worst expensive chocolates I'd ever eaten.  They tasted like they had sand in 
them!  I've never had the bars - maybe they're better.

As far as European chocolates go, I'm not sure that we even get the real ones here in the 
states.  I know Cadbury's certainly tastes different in the UK.  I LOVE their Roses - such a 
fun box and so many good fillings and I don't generally like filled chocolates.  Long ago, I 
worked at a German import shop and Ritter Sport was my favorite.  Again, its the snap.  
IMO, a chocolate bar shouldn't bend.

But, really, if any chocolate is put in front of me, I'll eat it.  I'm not all that fussy.
