In the USA the best chocolate I have regular access to
is Guittard made on the San Francisco Peninsula.
But white chocolate is not really chocolate just
cocoa butter with added dried milk.
Milk chocolate can be made with real chocolate but
the milk (which is used to keep the ingredients in mix)
heavily influences the taste of the resulting product
softening the chocolate flavor.
Dark chocolate is usually considered to be made
without milk but milk can be a part of it, for confectionary
use dark chocolate can cover the range from around 50%
cocoa solids to 99%. Over that is pure chocolate without
added sugar or milk. Best reserved for cooking but I have
eaten completely unsweetened chocolate and 99% cocoa solids
bars. I don't recoment that at all.
The stuff with additions like fondant. peanut butter,
nuts are candies that put a little chocolate with the
sweetners and extenders. Chocolates are really chocolate
candy,
For chocolate itself you need 50% to 80% cocoa solids
with no other intrusion except in dark chocolate a soy derivative
used to help keep the ingredients properly mixed and enough
sugar to keep the product palatable.
While I really like the Guittard's chocolates the
fact is that they are too expensive for me costing as much
for a misiscule snack as a pound of my 72% Trader Joe's
Pound + bard used for eating and cooking. That lasts me
a month with the removal for cooking of two 5/3 ounce
sections from the bar. Otherwise I try to stick with
a third of an ounce of chocolate each day.
If I wasn't living on a modest Social Security
Payment then I might eat more Guittard's.

Trader Joe´s at about $5.00/for
a half kilogram.
and besides that Giraradelli´s plain
cocoa powder a tablespoon of cocoa mixed
well with a half tablespoon of sugar is a tasty
drink after you add 4 ounces (125 ml) liquid
to your taste.
White chocolate is cocoa butter, a fat, and
milk.
Milk chocolate was the first bar on the
market after they discovered they could dissolve
the sugar into the chocolate with the milk or
even dried milk addition.
All the rest as worthless candies
with way too much sugar for healthy eating
and not enough chocolate for any good purpose.
If you really want to learn about
chocolate you can Google for more information
but here is a reasonably written Frequently
Asked Questions file (with answers)

I would go for Lindt (premium) and Milka as well. They are both
fantastic each on their own. Everyone should definitely give them a try
some time!
