What sort of chocolate?

[kimberkit]

It occurs to me that the vast majority of my friends appreciate chocolate. And some of them will even eat inferior "chocolate," like Hershey's. But which sort is your very favorite sort? Dark? Milk? White? Filled with orange, raspberry, nuts, nougat, coconut...? Jacques Torres, Teuscher, Neuhaus, Godiva...?

Please post a comment and let me know! That way, when you come over or when I am considering my next chocolate buying maneuver, (or your other friends who read this livejournal are considering their own next chocolate buying spree), they can think of you :)

Milk: Fazer chocolate from Finland. There is just none other for me. They make all sorts of wonderful things, including milk with crushed peppermint candy, crushed cookie bits, "holiday" chocolate (with cherries, nuts, and gingerbread crumbs), milk chocolate with a little bit of crisp and chili, etc. etc. Probably the best place to get it if you live abroad is at www.suomikauppa.fi.

Dark: Scharffen Berger. Mmmm.

Unusual: I'm a huge fan of Vosges' matcha bar - it's dark milk chocolate with a bit of green tea (matcha) zing in it. OHHH yum lovely. It's expensive, though (a bar is $6-7 around here). Also, I really do like Kinder's Kinder Bueno, which is overwhelming creamy hazelnutty goodness. And, one of my coworkers was just in Estonia and brought back some incredibly good white chocolate with blueberries in it. I'm not the hugest fan of white chocolate, but damn, this stuff was good.
