The testers compared milk chocolate to dark chocolate and asked people to judge based on color, texture, sweetness and taste.
"There were two in the milk chocolate category that tied for first place," said Samantha Seneviratne, Good Housekeeping.

"J was Godiva Milk Chocolate," said Samantha Seneviratne, Good Housekeeping.
"I like this one. It was a little bit creamier and even though it was a milk chocolate, it tasted a little bit closer to dark chocolate than some of the earlier ones we tried," said Allison Dewine, tester.
In the dark chocolate category, the winner was Lake Champlain Old World Drinking Chocolate.
"Instead of a powdery mix, they have these beautiful chocolate shavings," said Samantha Seneviratne, Good Housekeeping.
"I liked this one a lot. It had a distinctive dark chocolate taste, which I love," said Luke Braun, tester.
"It's actually like a melted candy bar. It's very thick and creamy," said Meghan Townley, tester.
On the negative side, the testers found many of the milk chocolate versions "thick and watery" with not much chocolate flavor.
