So, who makes the best chocolate, i'm not talking which has the highest percentage of cocoa, or which is most expensive, i'm talking about which mass produced milk chocolate bar tastes the best.

Small place called Chocolatier Blue. The rest on your list are big wigs and large productions.

I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I believe Hershey's actually produces Cadbury's chocolate here in the U.S.

Ferrero Rocher are the best milk chocolate products on the planet. You can close this poll.

What about the Whizzo Chocolate Company? My personal favorite, Crunchy Frog
We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Hershey's doesn't make chocolate. Get your facts straight.

This said the right answer is Kraft foods via Milka. As long as we are talking mass produced of course.

Jacques torres in NYC ain't bad. And pretty much any independent chocolatier in small towns in France. The tradition of chocolate making
is very strong there.

I can't give an answer.
I go through phases of liking Cadburys, Galaxy or Tescos 30p cheap rubbish - just depends on what I feel like at the time.

Best chocolate I ever had was a tiny mom-and-pop shop in a small town in Belgium. I think visiting these tiny chocolate shops where they make their confections by hand is the way to go if you get to visit Europe and want some really good chocolate.
Oh, and dark chocolate is several orders of magnitude better than milk chocolate.

I voted Swiss, but I've never had high-end American chocolate. As a 15 year-old living on Bodensee (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) I was introduced to the marvels of European confectionary and dairy. Great days those. Could they be really be 22 years ago?
We've always wanted to visit that Sharffenberger place is San Francisco, and some other place outside Las Vegas, but have yet to add them to our itinerary.

Shouldn't be too much of a guess to what I voted.

Neuhaus Belgian chocolates are wonderful - the cocoa lingers on your taste buds long after the candy is eaten.
