Chocolate Thread -

[Trombonista]

I discovered we don't have a thread to discuss one of the greatest foods in the entire world: chocolate. Now we do!

Discuss your favorite brands and homemade treats here.

Since Passover was last month, I've been enjoying kosher chocolate bars like Elite. There's another brand I enjoyed, but I can't currently remember the name. Hopefully I'll get it to you tonight.
Update: It's Carmit.

Not sure if these are kosher, but they’re the best damn thing ever. I’m trying to stop being a fatty, so I can’t have them anymore, because I would legit destroy an entire bag in a day.

I enjoy 90% cocao chocolate bars, they're never out of stock and they have a very deep earthy but slightly fruity flavor.

I use chocolate to make brigadeiro, hot chocolate, cookies, etc.

I read somewhere many years ago that high % of cacao can actually lower blood pressure. But there’s also the chance it was a study funded by Big Chocolate

Chocolate?

Spoiler: Did you say chocolate?

 

[No Exit]

Take some of this and mix it with sour skittles and you've got yourself a great snack.

Cadbury Caramilks... they only do limited runs of them each year. Think white chocolate but milder and completely lacking in crummy aftertaste.

 

[I can't imagine]

As far as straight-up chocolate bars go, I've always been fond of the Ghiradelli dark chocolate bars. They go from 60% cacao up to 92%, but I think the best are the ones in the middle (72% and 84%). Cadbury Dairy M.i.l.k is nice if you can get the ones from the UK, but that's pretty difficult in the States. Carlos V is a good (if really sweet) milky bar if you want that, and it's usually super cheap in Mexican grocers; it's also a smaller bar than usual, like 20 grams, so it's pretty nice for maintaining some pretense of responsible eating.

Chocolate is my one true love. It always makes me happy, even when I'm down and depressed.

I prefer m.i.l.k. chocolate though... anytime I try dark chocolate it's not as tasty and satisfying.

That's the shit boys

SSS tier chocolate

These are surprisingly good, I tried to find their supplier to buy the non-marked up branded version but the mouse guards his secrets well

moroccan chocolate > swiss chocolate

What is Moroccan chocolate?

Publix has this amazing cookies and cream cake that's moist and the cream is light but taste great.

Lindt 70% dark is one of my favorites but I'm the kind of person who will happily settle for decent milk chocolate in a pinch. I steer clear of Godiva simply because it's vastly overpriced for what it is. There's this brand of chocolate bar called Tony's Chocolonely that (despite the INTENSE virtue-signaling they do with their whole "no slave labor for chocolate" schtick) is actually pretty goddamned good.

 

[Freya]

Milka is the best

 

[HamFan]

Ah, chocolate. I have to have at least a little bit everyday.
I wouldn't dare pick a favorite. I mean, I guess the local choclateire beats all. But I like Hershey's (which apparently people in other parts of the world think is complete garbage), Lindt, Ghirardelli, I'm not picky.
I slightly favor the creamy decadence of m!lk chocolate, but love dark, too. I find dark chocolate kills my sweet tooth (whereas mîlk chocolate can make me crave more).

I will never forgive Hershey for discontinuing these.

Chocolate covered almonds wrapped in pickles, and mmmm very delish.

I will never forgive Hershey for discontinuing these.

I found that Hershey's bliss was very similar to Dove chocolate tbh, I'd recommend you try that as an alternative. It's pretty common in the states.

Semisweet baking chocolate is good. I prefer Hershey to Nestle. Aldi has a knockoff of the Chunky bar that's really great.
