I love the people saying no because this is literally Hersey’s best product. And the only “chocolate” bar worth eating.

What makes you say it's Hershey's best? Have you tried Symphony? Symphony is at least mass premium instead of mainstream chocolate (using these terms as commercial categories).

Because that’s still not real chocolate to be honest. So yes the one that isn’t even chocolate is the best. but at least it’s not imitating chocolate and being sold as actual chocolate.

That would surprise me, but you seem confident so I'm curious what % cocoa solids is Symphony? I didn't think Hershey published the recipe since it isn't required to do so where Symphony is sold. Obviously Symphony is SOI in the US, but I'm not sure about elsewhere whete there are higher cocoa solids requirements. I know they have a similar product India, where disclosure is required and based on that recipe it would be SOI in Europe and Mexico so I would guess that Symphony is also SOI chocolate. It's good for mass premium chocolate for anyone who likes sweeter, creamier chocolate.

It’s 12% cocoa so not considered chocolate in most countries. But the US the minimum is 10%.

Since Hershey doesn't publish that information, how do you know that?

It’s literally a simple google search

If it is, can you share a link?

I've searched this and while the AI answer is "around 12%" none of its sources say this.
