What's your favorite Chocolate?

[corarose]

Poll question: What's your favorite Chocolate?

We use to buy Frango Mints, Fanny Mae's, Godiva's and Swiss Colony.

My Dog ate Chocolates and he never died off of them and his favorite was Fanny Mae's. I love Frango Mints myself.

What's your favorite commercial Chocolate?

[trotsky]

1. Milka

On edit: Adding website (http://www.milka.de/home/home.html)

Had it in Germany a LOT, brought back a ton but it only lasted a few weeks. :(

[eyesroll]

7. They sell it here!

I've seen Milka in ethnic shops here (Milwaukee is heavily German). I've also seen an occasional bar at -- Target.

For like four times what it costs in Germany, of course.

[trotsky]

13. It's so good!

Yes, I'll see it at expensive grocery stores here in Minnesota from time to time.

For like four times what it costs in Germany, of course.

Naturally. The reason I ate so much of it over there was they'd put it on sale for a mark (~ $.65 at the time). Those were the days.

[Loonman]

2. Dove Dark Chocolate

Excellent.

[pistoff democrat]

3. Oh, my, yes!

yum

[corarose]

6. Thanks

I don't eat very much candy aside from Gummy Candies so I forgot about Dove.

[pistoff democrat]

4. Turtles

gooey, sweet, creamy, sticky caramel with lots of nuts and chocolate wrapped around it - textures, tastes, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[commander bunnypants]

5. None

that stuff is hideous. I cant even stand the smell of choclate

EEEWWWW, gross, :puke: blah

DDQM

[nannygoat]

8. Mint meltaways are my absolute favorite! n/t

[rbnyc]

9. E.Wedel (nt)

[grannylib]

10. I voted Dove (I like milk choc; my daughter, dark) and NUTELLA!!

[TheDonkey]

11. Godiva Chocolate for me!

I've never had this dove stuff... hmm.

[catzies]

12. Chocolate gives me migraines. Pity me.

I can eat it, but within 24 hours I get a headache so bad I call it a "chocolate hangover." :(

[cmf]

14. Ritter Sport

I love Dove, too, so that's what I voted for.

[Lefty48197]

15. I said I was going to scream if anybody said "Hersheys"

But TWO votes?? I'm too winded to scream even.

[Lefty48197]

16. BTW

I like Ice Cubes.

[pistoff democrat]

21. Heaven!

Ice Cubes

oh, my...smooth creamy chocolate tasting better and better as they melt away into your mouth...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[corarose]

25. It was a joke

No one is voting for Frango Mints?

[omshanti]

17. Lindt truffles

Hazelnut and dark chocolate are my two faves
mmmm......

[TankLV]

35. Yuck, yuck, double yuck! The absolute worst tasting trash ever!

Just bought my first and last bag of that Krap. UGH!

[Bertha Venation]

18. Ghirardelli.

Makes me homesick, and I'm not even from No. California.

[Bossy Monkey]

46. Ditto. But only the dark, please n/t

[Kellanved]

19. Leysieffer

Or Rausch Tobago

[name not needed]

20. lindt white chocolate

[Breezy du Nord]

22. I have a friend who will not eat chocolate

Becuase of cocoa bean slavery on the Ivory Coast. It's children, by the way, so i guess that disturbed her. I've tried to tell her that surely not all chocolate is made on the Ivory Coast, she contends that you just can't be sure, so she'd given chocolate up altogether, though I imagine as the holidays draw nearer she'll find it harder.

[eyesroll]

26. Schwartz's bookshops (an indie chain out here) carried this fair-trade

chocolate. They had a variety with little chunks of ginger in it. It was, of course, not cheap. But. Mmmm.

[On the Road]

23. Any One of Those Little Chocolate Stores in Belgium

[soothsayer]

24. best serious chocolate, Valrhona; otherwise, Russell Stovers

valrhona rocks! get the one with the highest cocoa content you can find, zap it in the microwave and dip yer strawberries or apples or bananas in it--fantastico! or eat it plain and savor the AMAZING flavor and texture

[Kat45]

27. Harbor Sweets, made by a small company in Salem, MA.

You can go on tours of the place, which I haven't had a chance to do as yet, and I think employees can eat all the chocolate they want (if I remember correctly). The candy is really good, but it kept getting more and more expensive so my mother doesn't buy me any for Christmas any more. :-( A lot of the candy has nautical themes, either the shape of the piece of candy or embossed on the candy.

[joeybee12]

28. Munson's Chocolate--any of it, especially milk chocolate--available in

CT only.

[MaryBear]

29. I voted Cadburry (sp?), cause I love those

Cadburry Cream Eggs at Easter, and the Fruit and Nut Bars. But Kraft bought them out and now I'm uneasy when I enjoy them.

Also love chocolate covered cherries that are sold at Christmas.

My REAL fav, though is genuine Belgian Chocolate - hard to get here.

[corarose]

30. I love Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries by

That shitty brand for two bucks.

[kayleybeth]

31. Godiva

or what's that other one that starts with a P? Perra-something? They're both really good.

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Swiss Colony?

Wow! haven't thought about them in a long time. Used to have one in our mall, and I'd go there and get those soft centered/candy shelled michigan cherries and sour apple candies. Yummy!!

They left that mall a long time ago. I figured the company had gone under.

But I didn't vote for their chocolate. I went Cadburry (however the hell it's spelled). But only the ones that actually come from England - that is, someone in England buys it, and brings it here for me. Much better than the version they make for the US.

[corarose]

33. We use to order $400.00 dollars worth because they would give your credit

You would pay them $25.00 bucks a month and huge boxes would arrive at your house.
They had some good Pumpkin Butter, Peach Butter and things like that. They also had chocolate covered raspberries which were so good.

[TankLV]

34. Chocolate from Watson's or Condrells in Buffalo, New York

And Platters from Niagara Falls.

You haven't tasted chocolate till you've tasted chocolate from Buffalo, NY. The rest just stinks. Including the one's you've mentioned.

You haven't lived till you've tasted chocolate from Buffalo.

Same for Hawaiian Chocolate - made from cocoa beans grown in Hawaii - No Ka Oi!

So far, I think that "Lindt" they advertise on TV lately is the absolute WORST - very salty and cheap tasting. Perfectly horrible krap.

[Blade]

36. I don't care too much for chocolate..

I can live with or w/o it.

[corarose]

37. Has anyone ever heard of Cerettas

They make the candy that you buy at rest stops on the highway. Ummmm now that's some good stuff.

[blondeatlast]

48. They are right here in Glendale, Arizona.

They make INCREDIBLE sugar free chocolates. If you have friends that have diabetes or avoid simple carbs, it's the perfect gift. Just divine stuff.

[Blue_Roses]

38. Godiva

and the Godiva liquor is awesome too!

[Whitacre D_WI]

39. Lindt, Lindt, Lindt. End of discussion.

Especially their 70% cocoa stuff.

Honorable mention goes to Ritter Sport for their filled chocolates (I especially like the marzipan).

[DinahMoeHum]

40. Dark chocolate covered coffee beans from Trader Joe's. . .

For Xmas, they have a four-flavor container: Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate and Latte Chocolate.

:9 :9 :9

[trackfan]

41. See's Chocolates are my favorite.

They used to be local to Southern California, but now are available everywhere, I think.

[mac56]

42. Hershey's Special Dark.

flame away

[LiviaOlivia]

43. Euphoria Chocolate and Moonstruck

Local Oregon chocolatiers. Pricey but once you try this stuff you
are changed forever. Euphoria's truffles are heaven.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

44. "Favorite Chocolate"--Katie's on the Cove

You won't find better anywhere. Katie's of Robbinston, Maine uses nothing but the best ingredients to produce candy that is too damn good and it's a half hour up the road for me. Try the coffee creams. Yum!

[SiobhanClancy]

45. Belgian chocolates from Chocolatier Manon...

are the best I've ever had:)

[blondeatlast]

47. York Peppermint Patties so I picked other.

But I've tried all of the listed, and Hershey's still wins.

KISS is nearly always the best policy, it would seem.
