Where does white chocolate fall in that consideration?Do any U.S. companies actually make white chocolate? I think Hershey's produces... something... but I'm not sure what it is.
Probably fewer than one might think, I guess? In my neck of the woods, we import most of our chocolate from all y'all, and even before - *gestures vaguely at politics* - it's been surprisingly difficult to find even white chocolate chips for baking. For the past year or so most supermarkets near me have been stocking some abomination ("white creme," apparently) whose composition doesn't bear thinking about, I'm sure.
I'm hoping it won't take the collapse of the cocoa market, or a generation for whom even the worst North American chocolate is beyond the wildest dreams of the proletariat, to bring climate troubles home, but that would probably be much kinder than what it's actually going to be. :(
On a happier note, although weird supply chain nonsense still applies, I'm trying to fit running around getting materials to play with hippie witch foragings and whatnot into my schedule this week, but I've been faking it terribly, so results will probably be indifferent at best. :/

San Francisco is the home of Ghirardelli chocolate, which actually was quite good, high-quality chocolate until they got bought out by... get this... Lindt chocolates in 1998. They almost instantly went from, "We can compete with most European chocolatiers," to, "Why are you paying so much more for something that barely beats out Hershey's?"
I guess Lindt was just buying and killing the competition.
And after an hour of that, now they're napping.
