easter chocolate tastes better
stop buying cheap easter chocolate

This isn't a question of cheap chocolate vs regular chocolate. Easter and other "holiday" chocolate is significantly altered.

It's always a overly-light brown with barely any cocoa concentration, it always has a disgusting milky taste, and it's always half-melted and sticky.

This.

>Not exclusively eating Lindt chocolates for easter
There's your problem

>>10527235
Sees is good too

>less cocoa
You know, that really is what makes cheap chocolate cheap. They'll also substitute the cocoa butter with other vegetable fats, which in the US is not even legal to be labeled as chocolate. I suspect some of it even uses food-grade wax. Seriously, check the packaging. I bet most of the crappy stuff you're bitching about isn't chocolate, but chocolate-flavored candy. Nobody really cares about this because it's mostly going to 5 year olds.

There are some good Easter chocolates. Like those Lindt bunnies are decent chocolate.

It prolly costs more to make easter chocolate because its seasonal. So they try to make up for the price buy going jew on the ingredients.

>eating anything but dark chocolate

In a functioning market, people who only buy chocolate for special occasions will be less motivated by (or even aware of) quality than people who buy chocolate regularly, and so chocolate for regular chocolate buyers will be of higher quality.

You're buying Palmer brand easter chocolate
buy rustle stover or dove
Or don't get any of it because it's all useless

>>10527204
could be because it's non-melting pseudo chocolate or just really cheap and shitty because most kids won't tell teh difference anyway as long as it's sweet

The puff of chocolate air inside hollow easter eggs improves the flavor significantly

Likely made by Palmer's

This though. It extends far beyond just chocolate. Nearly all holiday collections of things are lower quality because they aren't being marketed towards the people who usually buy it. This even occurs with "holiday collection" clothing and cosmetics.

holiday collection = shit

>eating anything but white chocolate

It's usually cheaper. There's this disgusting chalky taste and texture that the cheaper ones have, which I assume is either a stablizing agent, or literal chalk.
