 DD> What is your time worth? And what does the clean-up cost? And the jug
 DD> in which you store it?

I could ask you the same questions since you start with squares of
baking chocolate.  I think the answers are the same: we both like
futzing around the kitchen; it's a hobby, not a chore. And we both
like having some control over the ingredients and the final taste.  
 
 DD> both Hershey and Nestle have begun with the HFCS.

The Nestle syrup sold in Canada is HFCS free; I just checked the label
on-line when I was looking up the price.

 DD> Easiest way to miss the HFCS is to look for the "Kosher for Passover"
 DD> notation on the label.

I don't see KFP products here locally as our Jewish population is so
small that they are not catered to by stores. Maybe 30 altogether,
none of them observant.
