I'm not averse to a chocolate wax flavor one in a while.
I've eaten expensive, rich, creamy, dark chocolate and loved every bite, but my heart always will belong to the mass-produced Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
Preferably frozen so I can bite of the border of chocolate around the peanut butter cup then go to town on the peanut butter.

I ate a bar from Whole Foods called Ruby Chocolate--it was awesome. Apparently that's its natural flavor.

If I'm just eating supermarket chocolate I buy Lindt. I like the Hazelnut and the Orange dark chocolate. But that's as cheap as I go. I get something from Whole Foods and never anything less than 60-70% chocolate.

I was just thinking I am longing for a site to order a good chocolate bar from - because I'm out of ideas. I like Lindt, the milk chocolate, plain old Hershey, and Lake Champlain. Whole foods has a ton of organic chocolates but many of them frankly lack a nice taste. There's also a mint dark chocolate that comes in a green/black wrapper, can't remember the name.

r9, I don't have a Trader Joes near me, but I'm on the search for a dark chocolate peanut butter cup that I like. I've tried a few and it seems like the flavor of the dark chocolate overwhelms the peanut butter flavor.

Honest to God, every fucking time I have bought a bag of those Dove single-bite chocolates, there are WORMS in them. Look it up on line. After two such experiences, I thought I was going crazy. But apparently they have had trouble keeping bugs out of their manufacturing process. Not sure what they are. Pantry moth larvae? Ick! Never again. I found a chocolate produced by a native American tribe in Oklahoma -- brand name Beltre. I read about the history of the company: it uses old-0world recipes and methods brought over from Germany, apparently. The stuff is absolutely delicious and not waxy at all. Who'd a thunk it? I found it being sold at one of the largest, nicest, best-appointed, and cleanest rest stops in Oklahoma on my way back to Dallas on some road trip. I was starving. I'm thinking of making a road trip to visit where it's made. Kinda dorky, but why not!?

Palm oil has environmental concerns not necessarily health concerns and there are very high quality palm oils that one would presume the premier Zurich chocolatier would buy. Coconut oil's melt point is 76°F - not idea for bar chocolate.

Palm oil is very bad for the both the environment (deforestation) and bad for people's health as it is highly processed with hexane. Companies use it because it is a very cheap oil and because it is highly processed it has a long self life. Only organic red palm oil can be considered healthy, but it is rarely used because it significantly more expensive.
