“In our mind, cocoa butter is a key ingredient to make chocolate. Replacing it with some other form of vegetable oil does not improve quality,”

But does it diminish the quality? If not, as a lifelong chocoholic, I'd love my addiction to be less costly!

It would be a bit different, but the theobromides are in the coco mass, so the psychopharmicological effects should be intact.

Maybe the coco butter could be replaced with a high Ω-3 oil?

My MIL always said that there are things in life that you don't scrimp on -- the two she always mentioned were shoes and mattresses. Personally, I would add chocolate to that list. Hard to beat Godiva, but I'm not an expert.
