Brand names ? Even the Italian supermarkets' store brands taste way better than US chocolate. Perugina is pretty famous, and good, but beware of "baci Perugina": they aren't chocolate bars, they are hard candies, chocolate outside, nuts inside, and they are wrapped in a "wise" (?) sentence written on a piece of paper, kind of... the Italian version of fortune cookies. I heard that Ghirardelli, despite the name, is not Italian, they are based in NJ, I guess. I tried their chocolate, and yet is OK, worse than OK, for my taste. But the worst is Hershey's ! It is really gross. Between Hershey's and no chocolate, Hershey's wins. Between whatever Italian chocolate and Hershey's, whatever wins.

Can you provide a brand name? Perhaps one could find it on e-bay. So how do we get a taste of Italian chocolate? Can you provide a brand name? Perhaps one could find it on e-bay.

And I must thank you both for sending a box of goodies my way! The poor little peeps didn't even last a day! Opus and Roscoe want me to be sure to say thank you also (though it sounded more like MEOW). They LOVE the cat treats you sent. Thanks again and I hope you guys enjoy your Italian treats!
