What is your favorite kind of chocolate?

<p>Ritter Sport bars are also very good - I like the milk or dark with hazelnuts - so many nuts that they are really hazelnuts glued together with chocolate.</p>

22

<p>We love our Lake Champlain chocolates in Vermont. Yum! I prefer the dark chocolates and now they are practically medicine.</p>

23

<p>Dark, organic 70%+ cacao. Trader Joe’s has it. I’ve been eating it exclusively for months and months on the theory that “it’s good for you.” But give me almost any chocolate and I will probably be happy. :)</p>

24

<p>Dark w mint. The there’s a 250g (like 1/2 pound) Albert Heijn store brand that sells for the equivalent of $3. (that the biggest grocery store chain in the Netherlands, owned by Ahold, who also owns Stop & Shop and Giant-Landover here in the US. We should petition them to bring over the chocolate!)</p>

25

<p>Best Belgian chocolates in NYC in my opinion is Pralines Leonidas. The dark choices are incredible. Years back New York Magazine did a piece on NYC’s best chocolatiers, and I was shocked that it wasn’t on the list. Being the serious chocoholic that I am, I sent H, who works in midtown, to four of the ones on the list. In my opinion they did not measure up. I still cast my vote for Pralines Leonidas. We went to France this past year, and I couldn’t wait to start sampling the chocolates - how funny that the first chocolate shop we encountered was Leonidas!</p>

You are my hero.</p>

<p>So many to love…but a Ritter Alpine Milk bar can change the trajectory of any day for the better.</p>

<p>I am not a chocolate fancier except for certain times of the month but maybe I should be.

<p>I do like when I am out walking & this factory makes the air smell like hot cocoa.

<p>Theo is excellent</p>

<p>Fran’s is fabulous</p>

<p>See’s pretty good too</p>

<p>All time favorite: Ethel M chocolate! Wow it’s good. They closed all the stores I know of except in Las Vegas. I am not a gambler but I would go to Vegas for the chocolate!!</p>

<p>I like See’s dark chocolate, nuts and chews. I don’t care for Godiva.</p>

31

<p>Don’t like Sees at all it’s too sweet. Godiva is okay but too smooth. I like most German/Swiss chocolates especially with caramel or hazelnuts. I like
[Welcome</a> to Leonidas Fresh Belgian Chocolates](<a href=“http://www.leonidas-chocolate.com/]Welcome”>http://www.leonidas-chocolate.com/) makes very good ones - they have locations around the country. There’s also a place in DC that makes artisanal chocolates that my husband brings back from trips that’s amazing, but I can’t remember what it’s called.</p>

<p>But probably the best chocolates I’ve had are these: <a href=“http://annasheachocolates.com/[/url]”>http://annasheachocolates.com/&lt;/a&gt;
I went to an event where she demonstrated making her chocolates. They have softer centers than most truffles, but they were soooo good.</p>

32

<p>Not a chocolate person, but the one I really like is Teuscher.</p>

33

<p>Zoosermom beat me to it!</p>

<p>Wilbur Buds! Get the dark chocolate and milk chocolate mix. Mmmmmm Yum!</p>

<p>I live a few miles from the factory. Jealous much?</p>

34

<p>I really like See’s chocolate, very fresh tasting.</p>

<p>Also, there is a place called Mitchell’s Fine Chocolates in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, that makes their own handmade chocolate and it is delicious. </p>

<p>A Japanese coworker brought us [ROYCE</a>’ Nama Chocolate](<a href=“ROYCE' Chocolate”>ROYCE' Chocolate) and it was the best, creamiest, most flavorful I’ve ever had. Unfortunately they do not ship it overseas…</p>

36

<p>Eclat Chocolates, especially the chocolates filled with liquid caramel…

<p>Sees IMO, kicks the butt of all high end chocolate if you like nuts. </p>

<p>For high end I like Maison du Chocolat, but DH gets off cheap as I’ll take Sees first any day.</p>

38

<p>the darker the better! I love 65% and up. One time had 90%, was certainly bittersweet.</p>

<p>I did read a study today that people that eat chocolate at least a few times a week are actually thinner than people that don’t eat chocolate!</p>

<p>I eat a bite or two of dark chocolate daily, so am hoping that’s my secret!</p>

39

<p>Lindt and only Lindt. Coincidentally I sit here now with a bar of Lindt Classic Recipe while I consider DD’s collegiate options. Lindt hits some of the opiate receptors in the brain that the other chocolates miss.</p>

<p>We bought little chocolate discs while on a cruise in Scandinavia last month. I wish I remembered the name of it , I believe it was from The Netherlands or Belgium. Hands down the best chocolate I have ever tasted. It was half milk and half while chocolate.
I think if my husband goes back to visit his parents again this year , he will need to bring some more of it home :)</p>
