hazelnut ? that is fake chocolate !
nutella for example was invented as cheap alternative for chocolate ! it contains brely 15% chocolate. the rest is ground roasted hazelnut and palm oil.
If you want real chocolate : Buy Callebaut.
That stuff even has its own datasheet including the ideal melting and resolidification curves , optimum temperatures to process depending on what you want to do .
only caveat : Callebaut is only available in 11 pound slabs...

Solids and oils of the cacao nut , unrefined sugar , pure vanilla extract and milk solids. NOTHING else is allowed in it ! (with the exception of an emulsifier which has to be soy lecithin )
Shortly after european union came into life other countries were trying to flood the market with their 'chocolate'. According to law the label 'chocolate' is only allowed if it meets the standards. anything else has to be clearly labeled as 'fantasy chocolate' chocolate-like or 'containing chocolate'. you can't call it 'chocolate' or 'pure chocolate'.
this became a big spat in the belgian and european parliament. Callebaut stepped up and announced : you touch the 'chocolate law' and we pack up and leave ! You will not touch the legal definition of chocolate ! it is a quality guarantee. The french claim champagne , the germans riesling and other stuff. We belgians have a legal definition of 'chocolate' so bugger off with your crap products. Since callebaut is a major economic force that got their attention...
end result : the law still stands ! if something is labeled 'belgian chocolate' it fits the legal definition. this 'label' is now protected.
Other very good chocolate is Cote D'or (also belgian) and for processed chocolates (with filling) : Leonidas.
Forget that Neuhauss and Sharfenberger and Godiva. Those are considered "cat's piss" in Belgium
As for Hersheys.. that is flavored sawdust ...
I regularly buy Callebaut chocolate blocks , carve em up and split the cost with collegues. it is cheaper than even the cheapest fake crap. You do need a very strong saw blade or a hammer. That stuff is HARD. i'f you were to get hit in the head with such a block dropped from a floor above you it could possibly kill you.
There is an amazon affiliate that ships these in styrofoam boxes with coldpacks. UPS shipping is 35$ and it arrives in 2 days , still nicely refrigerated.
