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?

"But does it diminish the quality?

Personally, I would add chocolate to that list. Hard to beat Godiva, but I'm not an expert.

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