    My problem is that “Milka whole milk” chocolate and Nutella are the best tasting foods of their category. Nothing reaches them. Not bought and not home made. Those are my 2 things that “really hurt” avoiding. Everything else is okay. My own Nutella is good, but the flavor is just not as “present” as with the original. Avoiding the use of an emulsifier also makes the final mixing very sensitive. It really starts to separate if you mix just a little bit too much (like 5 seconds of slow swirling can be the difference).

      Yes, Nutella and Milka are probably the best tasting foods of their categories - if you factor in the price tag. They’re this popular for a reason.

      If you don’t, I could think of a list of better tasting products than them. Problem is, they are significantly more expensive and it’s up to everyone to decide if it’s worth spending that much more.

      As for chocolate, I’m willing to spend much more, because I’ve gone down that chocolate rabbit hole for a long time now. And I’ve tried a lot of the world’s best chocolate.

      It’s a bit like whisky - if you’ve tasted Macallan, you don’t want to go back to Johnny Walker.

      Best tasting for you maybe. Among the roughly 100 chocolate spreads on the market that aren’t Nutella, I think at least 30 taste better than Nutella. Which ones these are depends on how much chocolate or nuts you want in there

      There might be none that tastes exactly like Nutella though.

      I can skip Milka easily, it contains such a low amount of cacao I don’t consider it chocolate TBH. That’s my preference though, I understand tastes differ.
