Ah nice. I had made the assumption that this was American based on the name and wrapping. Guess I will give this a try the next time I'm out for some chocolate ๐.

I was so sure it was American when I first saw it in stores, both the name and packaging design seemed very American. It took a few months before I stopped and read through the info on one of the bars to realize it's something good.
It's a great chocolate except for the large amounts of lead in their dark chocolate: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lead-and-cadmium-in-dark-chocolate-a8480295550/
I mean, who doesn't love some ethically sourced lead in their chocolate?
"I'm so Tony's Chocolonely" should be my new catch phrase.
It is a fun name to say. I like to announce the name when I see it in the store.
Now that's a weird coincidence, I only learned about Tony's chocolate a few days ago cause there was a big product recall poster in my local supermarket and it kinda stuck in my mind cause I was wondering how TF do stones end up in chocolate. :D
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.
Not a big fan of chocolate, but this is good.... Very good ๐.
Sold in the US too, if you're also stuck here! Looks like ~~Target~~ and Safeway cary them. Going to try it...
EDIT: Actually, I recommend you don't shop at Target in light of their anti-DEI "Bud Light u-turn"...
They are good chocolate too. I like the green one, it's dark chocolate and almond. They also got them at Harris Teeter and Walmart. I think Walmart has the smaller mixed bag of candy instead of the bars.
