The Chocolate Appreciation Thread
 

Who doesn't love chocolate? Post pictures of, or talk about, your favourite chocolate bars, sweets, cakes, products, perhaps some that aren't made any more?

My current favourite is this

Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bars (yeah, that's the official title!) - small enough not to fill you up but very satisfying. They currently come in packs of six. I've just finished one.

I also love these

Does exactly what it says on the tin: fudge covered in milk chocolate.

My real preference though is for choc with something inside it, like the Fry's Cream bars, which are dark choc with

vanilla cream

peppermint cream and

orange cream in them.

Hungry yet? ;)

I'm not huge on chocolate but once in a while I'll have some dark chocolate ice cream that knocks me on my ass.

Despite the Fry's bars above (I'd prefer if they were milk chocolate, but somehow I feel it wouldn't be right) I don't actually like dark, or plain as they call it, chocolate. Milk or even white chocolate for me every time. Dark is too bitter, especially this:

My mother ate little chocolate, but when she did she always loved these:

I once, as a child, robbed and ate some cooking chocolate. It was the only time I ever did that. Ugh!

I like chocolate if you know what I am saying.

TFW Trollheart is so bored that he just starts making threads.

One of the super markets I live within a 3 minutes walk of has some of these:

The milk chocolate one with nuts and raisins (top middle) is great.
The dark one with whole hazelnuts (under it, to the right) is godlike.

I'm generally not the biggest fan of milk chocolate unless there's something else in it to spice it up. My dark chocolate can't get dark enough! 87% is the highest I've had and it was great. It's also healthier since I don't eat it very fast. One piece has a lot of flavor, so you can just enjoy it for a while instead of chowing down the whole plate in one sitting.

The extra flavor in dark chocolate is dirt I believe.

If you don't like dark chocolate, you don't really like chocolate.

I also don't like eating raw cocoa beans, so I guess that's true.

He's right. Modern chocolate has way too much sugar in it.
