I recently got these milk chocolate basketballs as well as a bag of all natural mini Nutcrackers milk chocolate. I'll keep it short. Americans can't make good milk chocolate, period! They essentially all taste the same, with a processed, cheap, non-creamy flavor that screams 'low quality'. The famous, classic Hershey's is one exception, although their product tastes a bit 'watered down' lately too. I spent a decent amount on the bag of mini Nutcrackers at my local health food supermarket, and I expected a creamy, smooth quality milk chocolate taste like perhaps Cadbury's, Lacta, or Lindt. What I got was the opposite. I literally tossed these in the garbage!
