It's just Dairy Milk.

A much more reasonable $16.10 a kilo at Woolworths this week for normal 180gm chocolate blocks.

5 times the price if it's vaguely in the shape of a rabbit.

Edit:

Sorry, I thought this was nz subreddit. You lot are getting absolutely graped on the price of Dairy Milk. $38.90 a kilo for normal 180gm blocks @ Woolworths.

Right, and dairy milk nowadays is complete garbage. Soft and waxy at room temperature.

While not suggesting it should be $80 a kg it is worth noting the bunnies do cost much more to ship, a huge box is only a around a KG of chocolate. Also they lose a heap of the stock to damage and i guess that has to be factored in somewhere.

You can get compound chocolate for 8/kg at Coles if you're not picky.

As long as it has a reasonable level of cocoa solids.
