The difference between American Chocolate and European Chocolate

Chocorific give a nice explanation of the difference between American Chocolate and European Chocolate. They say:

American chocolate tends to be lighter and sweeter than European chocolate. In addition, the flavors are clearer and more defined. In fact, European chocolate is often referred to as "bittersweet" chocolate because it's not as sweet as American chocolate.

Another major difference between American chocolate and European chocolate is the amount of cocoa butter and sugar in each. In addition, butter and creams in Europe have a higher fat content. They also add alcohol to some of their fillings to help bring out the flavor. In America, 36 states ban this practice.

Most people have a preference towards one or the other, but it really depends on your palate, so there's really no way to say definitively which one is best. If you were raised on European chocolate, you might find American chocolate to be too sweet. Conversely, if you were raised on American chocolate, you might find European chocolate to be too bitter. Why not try to enjoy both?

 I agree. Neither one is wrong or right. It really comes down to taste. Find out more about where you can buy chocolate online.
