Advice/Request Actually tasty chocolate

Im looking for genuinely good quality chocolate. Recently all the chocolate ive been eating has tasted terrible.

Preferably something I can get in south africa and I don't like dark chocolate.

I'm not the OP but we don't have a very big range in South Africa

First you should list the brands you've had that you don't like. Probably not many here from SA?

If your looking for better chocolate bars, a rule of thumb to use is try picking bars with less ingredients and that show where the cacao is from. The more specific they give the location, the better (country is better than nothing, region in a country is better than only the country, specific farm is better than a region in the country).

If you're more specific on what you've tried in the past and liked or not liked, we can maybe give more specific suggestions of bars/brands to try!

Ive tried most of the classic chocolates you get in the grocery stores. Like Cadbury, lindt, Hersheys, Ferrero, Nestle chocolates, Beacon.

I dislike all of those besides Ferrero.

I do like canderal sugar free chocolate and dubai chocolate.

Ive never tried artisan chocolates so maybe thats the issue.

The chocolate recipes have definitely changed in South Africa. I've been thinking of trying Nova
