Tony's Chocolonely, based in Amsterdam.

I love Tony's but I don't know if it is because of how thick the bar is or if it is how irregular and hard to snap the chunks are (and the taste) but I find it so much harder to eat in moderation.

They sell these cute (but even more expensive) chocolate eggs:

Anything Scandinavian. I spent 2 weeks in Norway when I was in the Navy, and I'll never go back to American chocolate. Flavorless brown wax.

Fazer from Finland. Maybe Panda from Finland, if I want something more eastery, but those are much more sweet and less chocolatey.

I like Lindt, but the increase in cocoa prices have made it difficult to justify spending $5 on a small chocolate bar.

Cocoa is (almost) as cheap as 10 years ago.

"Cocoa futures traded around $3,200 per tonne, holding close to the lowest since June 2023, pressured by expectations of a record harvest in West Africa and rising stockpiles. " Source https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/cocoa 1000075419

This is one of those cases in consumer goods where the price goes up, then doesn't come back down since they can get away with charging more.

Danish Anthon Berg is good and they have some Easter themed chocolates, like chocolate eggs. I also like Fazer from Finland.

Lindt

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, they all taste mostly the same to me. So the few times I buy chocolate I go for proximity and pick Valor. Again, no idea if it is good or not.

Honestly, anything fair trade.
Galler from Belgium is pretty amazing

Le Chocolat by Alan Ducass for fancy, Gepa 95% for every day.
