Favorite Forms of Chocolate

[angoraphobia]

um im not going to go into detail why im in love with chocolate so much right now but i am......

my favorite forms of chocolate are:

hershey's milk chocolate bar

Lindt milk chocolate with liquid milk chocolate in each square

actually ANY Lindt chocolate is good

chocolate Yoohoo/milk

toblerone

hershey's kisses

chocolate covered cherries

[kamenriderv3]

What about the fancy schmancy chocolate?

[angoraphobia]

i like some fancy schmancy...actually Lindt is about as fancy as i go......sometimes of Godiva....but its not really my favorite......

[BooBoo-Kitty]

ahh the cocoa bean. much like my boy g.castanza, it is my dark master! i am a sucka fo chocolate. it can't be no milk or light, or white or any other variant. must always be the darkstuff.

Hershey's Special Dark^tm

nestle's semisweet chocochips.

------------
them's pure money right there. also, my dad used to make a desert called death by chocolate that's insane (he used to be a chef at a place called Harris Ranch). i've had other iterations of it, but the way my dad had it was the absolute pinnacle of chocolate death. i used to take a couple bites and then i'd be all hyped like mikemyers' hyperkid.

i make a mean chocolate cupcake too. and i'm not talkin straight out the box bettycrocker stuff (okay, but strictly for amateurs). this here's the real deal, with creamcheese and mo' chocolate in themiddle. you can't fade goin from skratch yo.

[Salami Swami]

Oreos are ghetto.
Reese's peanut butter cups.
Three Musketeers.
I also like Chocolate Skateboards.

[Zaius]

after eating good chocolate I can't stand Hershey's cheap ass anymore. I like's...

Toblerone with those lil' honey bits in there
Lindt's truffle balls
Melty Kiss (morinaga? meiji? I forget..)
the hardcore dark bars with 99% cocoa liqueur
Those orange balls you smack first to break them

[falcor]

those d'aim chocolates. with the butter toffee inside. the only place i've seen them is at ikea.
chocolate covered espresso beans.
chocolate covered strawberries. heh heh.

[kamenriderv3]

The chocolate in Seattle is pretty good. They have the coffee buzz thing down and chocolate was only the next door territory to venture into. Specialty chocolate shops are fun to check out. And that chocolate factory near the outlets is cool.

Mmmmm. I'll make a stop there when I get the chance. It will probably melt by the time I bring them back to Hawaii. ;-] Maybe they might be digested before I get on the plane.

> Godiva coffee-flavored truffles
> chocolate milk

Chocolicious!

Maybe it's that time of the month for some of us...

I likey...
Chocolate Fudge Pudding
Mud Pie and that yummy oreo crust
Super ice cold choco milk
Riesen's choco chews
Chewy fudgy brownies
Ghirardelli Hot Fudge sundaes (to be enjoyed at Ghirardelli square, natch!)

yumz!

[angrykitty]

that liquid chocolate stuff that comes in jars and you can spread on bread. i forget the name.

Hah, yeah. I used to buy a bag of that stuff to "bake cookies," but end up just eating the bag.

NU-fuckin-TELLA!!!

It's actually a hazelnut spread with some skim milk and cocoa- but what the hell, everyone just says it's chocolate.

[SweetArse]

Ghiradelli's in SF.

I think a Hershey Bar tastes better than Godiva.

[Ryan]

man im surprised no one said Rochers, you know its like two levels of almond(?) encrusted goodness

HA! Gross! Almond Roche looks like nut-encrusted poop. And the "toffee" breaks your teeth. That and Perugina Baci have got to be the most gifted and re-gifted candies in the Chinese New Year universe! Okay, next to See's, Russell Stover's and Whitman's Sampler.

[Trippy Tarka]

I don't know about Hersheys tasting bitter to european people, in mainland Europe they like very bitter chocolate. I had some Hersheys and to my English tastebuds, it seemed like they had made it with water in place of milk.

Toblerone is very fine chocolate, especially the bars that are the size of a squash racket.

ok, so it's not chocolate. but nutella yeah! i only had it twice in my life, because once i have a taste i have to have the whole friggin jar!

does anybody else like this stuff?

[invictus]

I loved it. That's why I was so very thrilled to find a vegan version of it at a local Middle Eastern grocery store. I've practiced much self-restraint by not eating the whole jar in one sitting. Much restraint. The vegan version tastes EXACTLY like the real thing.

Belgian chocolate! My boss came back from Belgium with some chocolate...that stuff is the shit.

Damn chocolate companies, putting little kids into sweatshops stenciling candies for wealthy patrons to indulge in.
Boycott the madness!!!!

No no, that how they make Almond Roches. Feed almonds to elves and package their little poopies in gold foil.

[DreadedWheat]

If you ask me, you guys are ALL pussies. The only real chocolate is dark. Milk - I don't care how fancy it is - is just watered down chocolate. And don't even get me started on that white shit. Forget about hershey's - Even their dark tastes like plastic. Of course, I've been to Hershey Park like 10 times... you get free fuckin' chocolate, man!

Toblerone. Humongus chocolaticus.
Anybody ever try some of that General Foods International Coffee's Swiss White Chocolate? Best powdered coffee drink experience I've ever had.

[ninjaKid]

c'mon, ladiez! you know you all prefer the SEXUAL chocolate!

I do prefer mine dark...and really bitter. But I have no qualms with other forms of chocolate in general. In the words of one English lady, "Chocolate? They're all good." I just place the criteria in the confectioner.

Straight baking chocolate, baby....

i prefer to just eat cocoa beans raw and wash it down with whiskey for extra flavor.

[drahcirual]

the chocolate orgasm that is nesquik. be prepared for the pounds you're gonna pack on for it. it's like a really creamy fatty chocolate milkshake.

I almost died of chocolate poisoning today - cheesecake factory chocolate cakes are ill as fuck. I need a giant glass of milk to down it, though. So rich.

[janely]

the best freaking chocolate concoction i've ever had was at a local restaurant called Chart House in Portland, OR.

it's this chocolatey goodness called a "lava cake" that's part divine cake and ice cream with a center filled with godiva liquer. i like chocolate a lot but can't eat more than a couple pieces without going into sensory overload, but i will eat this whole thing by myself it's so damn good. i swear this stuff will make you cry.

if you're ever in my 'hood, check it out.

I really like wafer chocolates
and chocolates with flavors inside them,
like chocolate around a strawberry jelly.
Or around orange cream.

do you have trader joe's in the area? They stock those and they are intense and quite good.

[Killjoy]

almond rocawear! jk, almond roca is sooo good, even if it looks like little turds haphazardly wrapped in gold foil.

ghiradelli dark choc is also ace and i usually don't like dark choc. thx jing!

lindt truffles w/those semi soft/cool centers are truly awesome. sometimes when i daydream about kissing adam brody, i liken it to the deliciousness of lindt truffles.

[meemeep]

ohhh. yes. La Maison du Chocolat. exquisite tiny little jewels of suprising flavors.

even though I've posted 3 times already in this thread I'm not really all that into chocolate. Quality > quantity for me in regards to the sweet stuff.

[Zaius]

if you're serious about chocolate and you live in the bay area...





Fog City News

455 Market Street


they stock around 150 premium bars from around the world and have tasting notes from hundreds. last time I was there I got some good single origin bars and a nice one spiced with cardamom.

I like to treat myself to a good 87% Cacao Cote D'or Brut every once in awhile. it acts like a good digestive after a meal, not for everyone though. my gf took a bite without knowing what it was and nearly choked.

[xsk8teboyx]

oh cool...thanks!..I take a look.

starbucks Chantico drinking chocolate.....oh yes!

[Zaius]

New Chocolate store in town! In addition to Fog City, you can get some really nice bars, single origin and confections, at a cafe on Fillmore called Bittersweet. It's a couple doors down from the Clay theater a few blocks up from Japan town.

I got some nice stuff, an E. Guittard (http://www.eguittard.com/) 65% bar from Madagascar that has some nice blueberry undertones. Also a Dolfin (http://www.dolfin.be/cadreinterneuk.htm) bar with red peppercorns.


they also have several kinds of hot chocolate and some delicious looking pastries.

[yamchild]

^ i had the chocolate-chili combo for the very first time at the cafe of lindt's chocolate museum. it was in the form of a cuppa thick hot chocolate with tobasco sauce, tequila, whipped cream, and sprinkles of paprika. shit was gooood! the spicyness didn't conflict with the sweet chocolate flavor at all, just sort of prolonged the feeling of warmth of the chocolate in the mouth. the aztecs were onto something there...

ja.net also let me nibble on her vosge bacon-chocolate bar a while back. she wasn't feeling the meat/candy combo, but i really enjoyed it. the saltiness of the bacon sort of grounds and tempers the sweetness of the milk chocolate.

[randall fairbrook]

i am currently noshing on the vosges naga bar..named after mr nagasawa!

sweet indian curry, coconut flakes and deep milk choco! 41% cacao

i got the chocolate lady at hi times to order 5 of the different vosges bars....om nom nom

In my mind it's hard to fuck up chocolate. But if it's that fake chocolate flavor stuff it sucks.

Picked up 2 bars of that stuff. Yesterday I polished off a bar of Ghirardelli "Midnight Reverie" 86%. I'm definitely not a chocolate expert/snob and this looks like it can become kind of an expensive "hobby" to start, but it's a delicious one. Only buying stuff I can get at stores around my house. I might even try some "artisan" brands one day (I'm sure they exist, like with everything else these days).

[grandpa_shig]

my neighborhood, koreatown, is home to the largest population of oaxacans outside of oaxaca.

http://www.guelaguetzarestaurante.com/index.php

they sell their mole online along with crickets and oaxacan cheese. but the real treat is going to the restaurant. i like the 8th st. one the best. its smaller, cuter, and better place to take dates. the other one down the street is too big and loud cuz they have a mariachi band crank it up while you eat. its kind of annoying.

everything here is good. including their drinks which are a mix between jamba juice with yogurtland fixins. hard to explain, but if you order a horchata, you need a spoon with that. and even the complimentary chips have a lil dollop of mole on top.
