I’m put in mind of the Monty Python sketch about the Whizzo Chocolate factory.....

Sounds like it’s chocolate to me.

Didn’t the EU do something like this with Belgium Chocolate a few years ago?

If this stuff can’t be called chocolate, then they shouldn’t be allowed to call Budweiser or Miller “beer.”

Miller should be called a corn-based malt beverage and Bud should be called a rice-based malt beverage.

I like “Crunchy Frog” the best.

Simple answer.

Those companies who stick with the real thing start advertising their product as “Real Chocolate - Made with Real Cocoa Butter!”

They’ll keep the lions share of the market while the artificial chocolate makes go wanting for sales.

“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.

Cod liver oil?

Maybe, just for good measure, grind up & add some Carter's Little (Liver) Pills, and some Lydia ("A baby in every bottle!") Pinkham's, all adjusted for one dose/'serving'.

An alternative would be Vegemite in every bite.

Thank you, I'll just keep my chocolate as a decadent, unhealthful, no socially redeeming features treat.
