Best Chocolates Overall

Our overall rating scale goes from 1.0 (worst) to 10.0 (best). We do not consider price as a criterion in evaluating chocolate on this site. Our ratings and rankings are independent of price. For price consideration, please look at our permanent Best Chocolate Values page that sorts primarily based on price (and secondarily on overall rating).

The following list is a summary of our chocolate reviews with overall ratings of 8.0 or higher. You can click on the chocolate bar name to go directly to the associated most recent detailed review. Note that we consider chocolate bars with ratings of 7.0 or higher to be excellent, but only those rated 8.0 or higher make it onto this Best page.
