Title: Dove chocolate
Post by: candyguru on August 09, 2015, 07:19:39 PM
When visiting the USA, we always find it difficult to find safe chocolate.  The regular size Hershey bar is safe, but I don't think it is made from chocolate as it tastes like waxy sour milk (no resemblance to chocolate)

However, we visited Pittsburgh last week (a great city for kids... So many attractions!!) And found Dove chocolate squards at Walmart and Target.So many varieties... Dark chocolate, caramel, dark chocolate mint, etc

No warnings for peanuts, nuts, etc... And they taste delicious! No sour milk taste at all!

So glad to know there is some safe chocolate we can pick up during our visits to the USA :)

Pittsburg really does have some great stuff to do.  their science center is awesome!!  My dh grew up there and we've been there a lot!  I haven't been on the allergy radar for awhile, but my ds would no longer eat Hersheys after eating Dove LOL 
Just so you know, some grocery stores have International Isle with candy.

So weird. When I buy hershey's kisses they're gone in a flash. When I buy dove chocolates they sit until they turn white and I throw them away. The only ones I buy anymore are the strawberry/chocolate that come out around Valentine's day. And we eat Pascha chocolate so it's not as if we've never had good quality chocolate...

We prefer Dove over Hershey's.  And we prefer Vermont Nut Free over Dove!

Hi Jessica,
We just find the Hershey bar has a sour milk taste. The Dove chocolate just tastes so much better to us (though part of it is that we like dark chocolate ....the dark chocolate mint Dove squares are our favourites).

My children love Hershey, but my husband and I prefer Doves.
