Americans Love Chocolate


No matter what the season or occasion, love of chocolate is universal. The cocoa worship of American’s continues to grow, despite the down economy. People are treating themselves to the small luxury of premium chocolates.

Chocolate lovers continue to look for indulgences in products with the finest and freshest ingredients. Those who prefer premium chocolate reach for dark chocolate varieties.

Although, despite the attention on dark chocolate, milk chocolate is America’s favorite. Americans consume an average of 12 pounds of chocolate per person per year.

What you should look for in your favorite chocolate: an attractive gloss, a pleasing aroma, the "snap" factor, creamy feel in your mouth, and flavor. Every palate is different; but remember above all – chocolate must taste delicious!
