I'd call it "luxury"

It's not expensive, but it's way more expensive than a chocolate bar of similar size from any of the "candy companies" people see at the corner store like Hershey's.

Can get a Hershey's bar that's ~2x the size of 1 Lindt ball for 1/4 the price at my corner store. Bulk discount scaling makes that even more wonky, I think 10 Hershey's bars was like 8 bucks at Walmart while the smaller bag of kind milk chocolate balls was 12

Fair enough. But I'm mostly into dark chocolate bars. I'd rather satisfy my urges for milky, high-sugar chocolatey goodness with stuff like Kinder products.

To me, luxury chocolate is stuff like Bonnat "surfin" bars which cost, at their cheapest, more than 3 times the price per gram of Lindt's bars (6€ for a 100g bar vs 1.70€ for a 100g Lindt bar). They taste amazing though, and their only ingredients are cocoa and sugar. But I'd probably go bankrupt if I bought them for regular consumption
