Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

1. Hershey
2. Nestle
3. Mars
4. Russell Stover
5. Palmer
6. Witman's Sampler
7. Ghiradelli
8. Hershey's Special Dark

Buy European chocolate brands ... European markets are generally safer and higher quality:
Tony's Chunoli
Alter Eco
Equal Exchange
Divine chocolate

If you must buy American mass market chocolate, Dove and Lint have lower contamination levels than Hershey's or Nestle according to testing. They are not perfect, but are better options than the worst offenders.

Read ingredient lists carefully. Avoid products with artificial colors, artificial flavors, and partially hydrogenated oils. Choose chocolate where cocoa and cocoa butter are the primary ingredients rather than sugar and vegetable oils.

Hershey's contains lead and cadmium beyond safe levels. Nestle has the worst child labor record. Mars products are full of artificial dyes and additives. Russell Stover uses petroleum derived vanilla and minimal cocoa. Palmer is not legally chocolate at all. Whitman's sells ancient compound chocolate. Ghirardelli charges premium prices for mid-grade quality. Hershey's special dark has the highest contamination.

Trader Joe's 72% Cacao Belgium Dark Chocolate is my favorite. Low sugar.

I'm just glad that Queen Anne Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries aren't on the list!

An aside, one year I made chocolate cherries one year. They were delish but such a royal pain the rear...I'm sure it was a once in a lifetime thing.

Well, I love chocolate but had to give it up for health reasons.  I do buy chocolates for Mr. Bele; mostly Dove and Lindt dark chocolates.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
