Creamy, smooth, delish. Chocolate is just about everyone’s most craved treat. But are some chocolate bars better than others? We asked La Panetière’s (530 Milton Rd, Rye 914-967-8140) pastry chef, Lisa Rudner-Suckle, who formerly worked at Danielle’s Chocolatier in Mount Kisco, to test-taste 10 milk chocolate bars and judge their quality. The following are her findings: |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Ghiradelli Luxe Milk ($2.29, 3 oz) “Very nice flavor. Perfectly creamy. I want to eat the whole thing.” |
Godiva ($3.99, 3.5 oz) “Yum! It’s not too sweet and has a nicely balanced texture.” |
Green & Black’s Organic Milk Chocolate ($3.79, 3.5 oz) “Creamy, milky, and softly textured. I could tell when I picked it up it was good quality.” |
Trader Joe’s Milk Chocolate (.49, 1.55 oz) “Nice consistency and aroma. Good flavor.” |
Chocolations Solid Milk Chocolate ($2.50, 2 oz,) “Not overpoweringly sweet or too rich. Mild flavor. Has a crispness to it.” |

| Perugina Milk Chocolate ($3.19, 3.5 oz) “Nice texture. Not too sugary.” |
Lindt Classic Milk ($2.79, 4.4 oz) “Smooth texture and creamy, but leaves an overwhelming aftertaste.” |
Whole Foods 365 Organic Swiss Milk Chocolate ($2.49, 3 oz) “A little chewy. Not smooth. Tastes a bit fake.” |
Cadbury Dairy Milk ($1.99, 3.5 oz) “Dry and too sugary.” |
Hershey’s ($1.99, 4.4 oz) “High sugar content and artificial-tasting. The various flavor components break off individually instead of meshing.” |
