Yep, the price is fairly high, you can pay £2 for a 100g bar of the Lindt here. But when a ~40g Yorkie goes for anything between 60 and 90p in vending machines and shops, it doesn't look that bad.
What does it cost in Canada? Presumably there's some import markup adding a bit extra to the price.

Usually $3.50-4. Sometimes on sale for less. Varies a lot by chain.
Great big "Presidents Choice" (house-brand) belgian bars go for ~$5 at "No Frills" supermarket, $7 at Shoppers Drug Mart across the street -- both chains owned by Westons.

Seconded for Dairy Milk. Or Daim. Or both. (I'm currently chugging one of these bad boys).

At the other end of the scale the crappiest chocolate we have is probably that found in Kinder eggs. Or advent calendars.
I remember watching a documentary about chocolate some time back, and the expert saying that good quality stuff should always make a snapping noise when you break it. Kinder eggs tend to crumple.

Cheap Easter eggs also. There's some absolutely pants chocolate used for those.

Yep, unless it's Cadbury's.
Where's Kenny when you need him?

Not a fan of "white" (wtf) chocolate either.
