I've never heard of Palmers. Maybe that's local?

They make a lot of hollow bunnnies and the like for holidays. They look
good, but they do taste awful. You'll find them in K Mart and places
that sell cheap stuff.

a lot of the foil wrapped stuff around the holidays.

yicky indeed.

when i read a label that has palm kernel or palm
oil or anything other than cocoa butter or chocolate,
it's a sign to get something else.

i used to make a lot of chocolates and usually could
find decent chocolate in bulk at the bakery supply
or cake making places.

in reference to actual sustainability, cocoa is a
good understory plant for a mixed tropical forest.
it's having troubles at the moment due to diseases
and being replaced by other farm crops, but if the
price goes up those trends can be reversed. we'll
see what happens.
