>>8468847no, we have some of the best chocolate in san fran, but cacao (also its cocoa butter/powder sorry) is expensive to import and process, its also a limited resource, so poor crop yields can make some expensive candy. its why margarine still exists when we know it is not as healthy, in fact, I think "creme" (similar to modern oreo creme filling, hydrogenated oils, palm oil, and sugar) in the gold bars are produced in a similar way to margarine.
