“Nine out of ten people like chocolates. The tenth person always lies.”-John Q.Tullius
The delicious and mind boggling taste of foreign chocolates bring water to our mouth, as soon as they are mentioned. They are really tempting and it is really difficult to stop one from buying them.
There is no competition to our “halwas” and “mithais”, but chocolates have their own mass following. With change in time there has been a gradual shift in tastes and preferences of the people. Foreign chocolates have occupied a large share in the market as well as in people’s heart. People of all age groups love and adore chocolates. Few shops in Udaipur offer a veritable abundance of chocolates for the gourmand and the gourmet alike.
The readily available brands in markets of Udaipur are Fox’s, Sinckers, Mars, Bounty, Ferrero Rocher, Toblerone and some of the rare brands are Rittersport, Lindt, Hershey’s, and Ever Fresh etc. This variety is sure to put dieter into a fix.
To know about all of these chocolates we visited some prominent shops in Udaipur.
Foreign chocolates are a bit expensive than our Indians ones. They have not only become a status symbol but have also started replacing traditional gifts and sweets. These come from various countries of the world like Lindt: Swiss, Hershey’s: U.S., Ritterspot: German, Fox’s: Made in Indonesia, Ferrero Rocher: U.S.A, Mars: U.K,
These chocolates differ in range like,
Lindt: Rs. 170 to Rs.250,
Ferrero Rocher: starts with Rs.55 – 250
Snickers, Mars, Bounty and Toblerone: Rs.35 to 40
Rittersport: Rs150 to Rs.200
Hershey’s: Rs.150 to Rs.700.
Prices are high and so is the customer’s purchasing power.
Mr.Vinod Sachdev, a whole seller of these chocolates for past 4 years in Udaipur says, “they are highly popular and in demand during the festive and marriage season from diwali to feb-march”.

Do you think that we should offer a diwali gift to the guest house owners where we will stay during Diwali?
Yeh.. of course..!!
You can offer them some sweets or if you have some chocolates/sweets from your place it could be another good option.
Also, It would be a great time to enjoy the festivity. You may give a try to Traditional Dress-up
Thanks for that. yea could bring a little something from the UK. What about a Diwali card?
dressing up? maybe not go that far!
You can find gift shops almost in all areas of the city where you can get good Diwali Cards.
Here are some:

What’s the premium on these prices for??
Both the US brands, Hersheys as well as Ferrero Rocher are below mediocre in taste and no good! I’d rather rate India’s Dairy Milk ten times better than Hersheys or Lindt.
