Do Almond Joys and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups qualify?
And, I'll always enjoy a box of See's candy...they have so many good ones to chose.

I like chocolate candy, but often it doesn't like me. I'm okay if I consume in moderation and space it out with a few days in between. However, with chocolate, what's moderation?

Inexpensive:
Reese's peanut butter cups
See's (local-based, mostly Western US mini-chain. The family eventually sold it to Warren Buffett, who considers it one of his favorite businesses in the Berkshire Hathway conglomerate!): almond truffle, walnut chews.
Moderate:
Dove mini's
TCHO milk chocolate Mokaccino - normally we adore dark bittersweet, but TCHO's milk chocolate appeals to us more than their bittersweet, which we find too short in the finish and too hard in texture. The Mokaccino is made with Blue Bottle Coffee, and has a wonderful strong coffee flavor. Both TCHO and Blue Bottle are local-based, artisanal product companies.
Expensive:
Michael Recchiuti - any of his flavors, but especially his signature Burnt Caramels and a lovely bergamot chocolate truffle (bergamot is the flavoring in Earl Grey teas).
Super-expensive:
Royce - Nama Chocolate Bitter truffles. The Japanese make some of the finest chocolates in the world and Royce is one of the super-premium brands. A relative brought us a box from NY, where a retail store is located. Absolutely amazing, with a texture like silk and a rich creaminess that isn't heavy or leaden.

It's nice to see you, Owlivia.
Cella's Chocolate Covered Cherries! They're only available in the cold weather, so I have stocked up.
I don't have any Crunchies or Flakes right now, but they are also favorites.
