It was the worst thing about my holiday in America. The chocolate is universally terrible. Way too sweet, rough texture and chemical taste to the dairy content (something in the milk used).
which is also present in plenty of cheeses, many of which are also used in sweets...
Editing 2 months later: I live in America where "sweets" just means "sweet things" not "candy." Cheesecake, cream cheese frosting, cannoli filling etc.
