Chocolate addict

I like chocolate anythin'. I prefer Hershey's Milk Chocolate. I think they make the best. I'm not a fan of the fancy smooth stuff; don't like the taste and the texture. White chocolate is awesome. I've also recently started to develop a taste for dark chocolate.
 
You know you've been reading too many technology articles on the internet when your initial thought was that the person was addicted to their cell phone....

Hershey chocolate is far too waxy, and I agree with the others about white chocolate just being far too sweet. My dad would say otherwise--he prefers the white over any other variety.

The hubby loves dark--the darker the better. I like both milk and dark. I love me some Cadburry and all the various truffles. Not to mention the German and Swiss chocolates. Vosges chocolate is pretty good, too, if not to mention exotic. Mmmm!

I saw high cocoa content chocolate bar (like 65%). As the other posters said, the packaging shouts the cocoa content percentage. Just for the sake of experimentation, I picked up Hershey's 65% bar (no expensive chocolate at this store).

Hershey's new high-percentage Cacao Reserve bars are actually quite good... and not that cheap. They've actually purchased several high-end 'boutique' chocolate makers over the last few years, including Scharffen Berger, and seem to have learned some good lessons from them. Hershey's even makes a cacao nibs "nibby" bar now, too.

No, white chocolate is simply not chocolate for me. It's like a different species, and shouldn't be put in the same category.

I'm with you on that! White chocolate - whatever that really is - just isn't chocolate to me.

Oh good, I remeber hearing about Hershey buying them out and hearing a ton of worried folks that SB would lose it's quality, nice to hear that it's still goin' strong.

As for my occassional chocolate cravings: G&B's dark 70%, and if I'm up for it, G&B's Espresso. :D

FYI: I've found them in Targets as well as natural/organic food markets.

The last time I was there, I asked how the Hershey deal had changed them. They said that Hershey doesn't get involved in their chocolate-making, so they're free to just keep doing what they do best.
 
My parents sent me a funny card today that's appropriate to this thread. It said "Carpe diem, just think of all those ladies on the Titanic who waved away dessert".

:p
 
I was in Rochester NY yesterday and found a 85% Lindt bar chocolate. If I did not see this thread, I would have never checked up the chocolate section of the supermarket (until I would be dead) The sugar content was less than 10 grams, which is low for chocolate. I am surprised it does not feel "fattening." On the contrary, sugarly taste of the regular chocolate taste so fattening.

I'm sending quite a few bars of G&B to friends and family in the US this year. Their ice cream is great as well.

I went to Brussels last weekend to visit my brother and had fogotten how ridiciulously good Belgian chocolate is (and beer...but that's another thread!) Without sounding too snobby, no other kind of chocolate can compare to it.

I believe Leonidas (not the best, but still pretty good) have stores in the UK and US now.
 
Sadly, I think I am one of those folks who develop headache with chocolate. I tried nice tasty chocolate with at least over 65 % cocoa content and I ended up having some minor "lingering" headache the next day I ate the chocolate. I thought it was a fluke. So, I tried a few more days. Same thing. So, I stopped eating chocolate (I have not even eaten more than one bar a day). Headache stopped. So, I am done with chocolate.
