Have yet to try it myself. Very expensive in the UK, around ยฃ4 for a bar compared with ยฃ1.50 for a Dairy Milk. Obviously it's more ethical and probably tastier, but still. Probably better if I eat less chocolate anyway.

It's more expensive for a reason. They are fighting for fair wages and no child labor in the cocoa industry. That work costs extra. Big corps constantly cut corners and exploit their labour. This chocolate is not too expensive, it's the rest that is unfairly cheap.

Check out the price per gram, usually tonys are heavier than the alternative.

I always thought it was more expensive as well until i recently saw that the default ive been buying had less weight, so if you looked at price per kg it was actually pretty much the same.

Also i buy less choclate now but i prefer quality.

I don't find it that much better personally compared to other chocolates, but I think it's worth it if you buy a chocolate bar twice a year like I do

I'd say it's closer to ยฃ3 than ยฃ4, certainly where I am up north.

Its become our favorite brand, tastea great and slave free, win win.
