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 :)

I like chilichoclate. 75% black one, and the chili has too be strong.

Murrrrrr, chocolate. Almost entirely dark chocolate. Although Green & Black has an amazing white chocolate bar to which they add vanilla, which makes it really really yummy.
I'm a big fan of chocolove's 65% cocoa bars. I don't really like my chocolate with stuff in it. Unless it's mint.
Also Rossia's coffee/chocolate bar. MMMMM. Sadly not so easily obtainable outside of the CIS.

I like milk chocolate, which seems ridiculous as a chocolate lover, but it is my favorite. I don't have a favorite yet because I don't go out sampling fancy chocolates, I usually bake chocolate goods (like the brownies I made last night, mmm).

And though the chocolate is not very good, I have to support Hershey because I'm a Pennsylvanian. :)

Also, you should write what your favorite is in the entry!

My favorite is the orange rinds covered in dark chocolate. Mmmm, drool. I like the balance. Otherwise, I, too, like milk chocolate, but am picky about it...

How nice of you! :-)

Just some of my favorites:

-Milka
-Cadbury's Fruit and Nut
-Champagne truffles, especially from Teuscher (but I know that they cost a pretty penny...sigh...)
-Pralines from anywhere
-Neuhaus

But my perennial favorite has to be Mozartkugeln!

this is your most popular topic ever. ;)

i really dislike white chocolate and am not so fond of milk chocolate although i still enjoy a good m&m and a few brazilian chocolate candies. aside from that, i love dark chocolate and am not averse to cheap dark chocolate--in spain, i loved dark chocolate valor bars with almonds and trader joe´s markets chocolate under their brand name that also comes in dark chocolate with almonds. i would have to say that you are eating empty calories with hershey´s. ;)

Dark. 85%, served with black coffee.

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.
