OK, I think we may be referring to a number of different things here. My original post referred to a 16 oz. offering at Costco which is clearly Neuhaus. Someone else has now referred to a 14 oz. offering at Costco, but not said it was Neuhaus. Anyone know what the 14 oz. one is?

Not worse, but definitely different (and I preferred the European version). But Trader Joe has so many different chocolates now (ranging from poor to fabulous), that I'm not sure Neuhaus is good enough any more ... it certainly is no longer the world's best chocolate, and a lot of the smaller specialty chocolate makers have it outflanked (particular with the 'single origin' offerings which sometimes are outstanding).
