I like milk chocolate. That is, *good* milk chocolate. There can be quite a
difference. Good milk chocolate can have delicious caramel notes as well as
a significantly higher percentage of cacao. It gives a truffle creaminess
like nothing else.

Unfortunately, many people think of Hershey bars when they think milk. It is
currently fashionable to affect a dislike of milk chocolate. Most people who
do so have never actually had a really good milk chocolate.
