3. TY hlthe2b

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Milk

Not a huge fan of dark chocolate. Don't hate it, just not for me.
Have taken tours of both the Hershey & Lindt factories. Very cool & smells just great!

[debm55]

6. Thank you ProfessorGac.

[dchill]

4. Semi-sweet morsels in chocolate chip cookies...

...but I love all chocolate!

[debm55]

7. Thank you, dcill.

[PJMcK]

5. The Landlady prefers dark with 80-90% cocoa

My wife’s favorite dessert is a glass of Pinot noir and dark chocolate.

I’ll take anything I can get! Especially pot-laced brownies!

[debm55]

8. HAHAHAHAH. Ty PJMcK

[yellowdogintexas]

76. I am right there with your wife! Good dark chocolate with a nice glass of red wine is very nice

A friend makes wine and one of his specialties is Chocolate Raspberry Port. It is amazing and so good with a chocolate cake

[PJMcK]

88. Thanks

I’ll let her know of that concoction.

[Probatim]

9. Milk chocolate - preferably in a Cadbury Mini-egg.

And not the abomination that is a Cadbury Creme Egg. Those things are terrible.

[debm55]

11. Ty Probatim. I don't think I ever ate a Cadbury Creme Egg. But I did like their ads.

[CrispyQ]

10. I'm partial to dark but I will eat any chocolate except white chocolate.

White chocolate is an oxymoron & it doesn't even taste like anything. It's like a mouthful of blah.

[debm55]

12. Ty you CrispyQ, I also do not like white chocolate. Yuk

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Dark.

[debm55]

16. TY sinkingfeeling.

[mucifer]

14. Dark, Vegan and Fair Trade Great list here

https://foodispower.org/chocolate-list/

[debm55]

17. Ty you mucifer. I will follow your link to learn more.

[LoisB]

15. I agree, milk chocolate whenever I eat chocolate (rarely).

I do like an occasional Cadbury fruit and nut bar.

[debm55]

18. Ty LoisB. I didn;t know that Cadbury made a fruit and nut bar.

[LoisB]

19. Yes. Not AS good since it's made by Hershey's now but still good.

[lynintenn]

20. Just ordered dark chocolate morsels to melt and dip strawberries .

Strawberries will be in season soon here in the South. We keep 70% cocoa dark chocolate squares in the refrigerator for an occasional snack.

[debm55]

46. ty lynintenn. that sounds delicious.

[electric_blue68]

96. I used to get Bakers Chocolate

[sanatanadharma]

21. True story, I was being interviewed for a chocolate company management job

True story, I was being interviewed for a chocolate company management job. I was with the general manager when the owner came by. The owner asked me if I liked chocolate. I answered, "I can take it or leave it."

I did get the job and retired 20 years later, still un-addicted to chocolate, of which white, dark, or milky I can take or leave.
However, some chocolate just tastes bad.

[debm55]

47. Ty sanatandharma. I have eaten chocolate for christmas and Easter. Maybe a candy bar. Some chocolate has a waxy taste to

me. Thankyou also for your post.

[niyad]

61. That waxy taste is true of most American mass-produced chocolate.

Try to find some good, small producers. The chocolate is very different.

[House of Roberts]

22. I like the solid chocolate

better than the hollow kind.

[debm55]

45. Thank you House of Roberts. I agree with that.

[Shermann]

80. Hollow chocolate is just another trick to make food look bigger than it really is. nt

[kozar]

23. No contest , with me,

Dark ! The higher the cocoa, the better.
On same note, I cannot make myself eat white chocolate. I'm sure, it's a mental thing, but as they say, " you, eat with your eyes, first."

Koz

[debm55]

44. Thank you, kozar. Milk chocolate is first, followed by dark. white tastes like wax.

[yellowdogintexas]

77. yes white is not all that great but I have a cake recipe that will knock your socks off

Melted white chocolate in the cake with pecans and coconut and white chocolate in the frosting. I have not made it in a long time but it is really good

[Elessar Zappa]

24. Dark but it has to be sweet.

I don’t like bitter or semi-sweet dark chocolate.

[debm55]

43. Oh yes, I agree with you. TY Elessar Zappa.

[Emile]

25. Milk chocolate for me.

[debm55]

42. Same here, but I do eat dark chocolate on occasion. White chocolate -never. TY Emile

[AllaN01Bear]

26. dark.

[debm55]

40. Ty AllaN01Bear. Dark chocolate is supposed to be healthier.

[Srkdqltr]

27. Chocolate

[niyad]

28. The darker, the better, ethically sourced and harvested.

[debm55]

39. Thank you, niyad.I noted that a poster on this thread said the dark chocolate was healthier.

[niyad]

62. It is indeed. Tastes better, as well, especially from good companies.

[brewens]

29. It must be the chocolate chips. I go through a lot of those. A main ingredient in my cannabis treats. :) n/t

[debm55]

38. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TY brewens. Double the please, double the fun.

[enid602]

30. Bordeaux

Milk chocolate. My favorite is See’s Candies’ Bordeaux:

Per their website:
Milk Chocolate Bordeaux, a brown sugar buttercream topped with sprinkles

[debm55]

37. TY enid602 . It sounds delicious.

[Staph]

31. I agree with ship's counselor Deanna Troi

Milk, white, or dark -- it's all good to me! Well, except the really, really dark versions. Those 70 or 80 or higher pecentages are hard on my digestive system.

[debm55]

36. TY Staph. I like all except for the white chocolate.

[Duncanpup]

32. Milk chocolate covered in peanut butter

[debm55]

35. Ty Duncanpup, That sounds different

[SamKnause]

33. Hershey's candy bars or kisses.

I have tried very expensive chocolate.

My palate loves Hershey's.

I don't like the taste of Dove chocolate at all.

Dark chocolate isn't sweet enough and taste bitter.

[debm55]

34. TYSamKnause,. Yes dark chocolate is a little bitter,

[Mr.Bill]

41. Milk Chocolate.

I do like white chocolate chip cookies. I don't like dark at all.

[debm55]

49. Ty Mr. Bill, White Chocolate in cookies isn't bad.

[Brother Buzz]

48. Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate has been at the top of ny list for decades

There is a subtle bit of grit texture left in that I really enjoy

[debm55]

50. Ty Brother Buzz. That sounds so good.

[electric_blue68]

97. By the time I decided to try it Trader's seemed to no longer carry it

[Brother Buzz]

98. I see Ritter Sport in other places, but the dark chocolate disappears first

And for good reasons, Baby!

[dai13sy]

51. Even though dark chocolate is healthier

My favorite is milk chocolate

[debm55]

58. Ty dai13sy. I like milk chocolate and then dark is a close second,

[DinahMoeHum]

52. Dark: 60-72% cocoa range

No particular brand, but I know a good health food store where they often have bars in a reduced price bin. Many of them have the fair trade/sustainable harvesting labels.

[debm55]

60. Thank you DinahMoeHum. That sounds very interesting.

[riversedge]

53. Milk

[debm55]

59. Thank you riversedge. Milk is my favorite.

[yellowdogintexas]

54. Dark, definitely. If I eat milk chocolate on an empty stomach it can give me nasty heartburn

besides dark isn't as sweet.

Now I want chocolate and all I have is the baking kind

[debm55]

57. TY yellowdogintexas. I forget who makes it but it is dark chocolate with a type of raspberry jam inside. The baking

kind is nasty.

[yellowdogintexas]

81. Ghiraradelli I think. They have a very wide selection of little squares.

I really like their baking chocolate for chocolate cakes
Every so often I catch it on sale and I grab some

[WestMichRad]

55. No contest: dark for me

White chocolate? Blech.
Don’t want to waste my calorie intake on milk chocolate.

[debm55]

56. TY WestMichRad. I like milk and dark chocolate. White taste likes wax.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

63. no longer drink milk but as a kid.. Nestle had a strawberry flavor that was my fav

[debm55]

64. TY BlueWaveNeverEnd

[area51]

65. Dark.

I like the higher cocoa content bars.

[debm55]

66. Thank you area51.

[Niagara]

67. I like Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Premium Baking Chips.

These chocolate chips are about perfect for what I like to taste and there's about 1 gram difference of sugar and carbs compared to Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips.


Sometimes I purchase the Hershey's sugar free chocolate chips because I like how they're miniature and not regular sized.


I like milk chocolate if I can find it in a sugar free form. For me, 60% to 70% dark chocolate is ideal.



I don't like white chocolate at all.

[debm55]

70. Thank you Niagara. Hate white chocolate, Love GHIRRARDELLI dark chocolate bars with raspberry inside/

[Luciferous]

68. Dark chocolate. The older I get, the less

I can tolerate super sweet stuff.

[debm55]

71. thank you Luciferous. I agree

[Different Drummer]

79. It's good to know I'm not the only one whose taste for super sweet has lessened with age.

[malthaussen]

69. milk chocolate

I don't much care for white or dark. But a milk truffle with a milk center, now that's good.

-- Mal

[debm55]

72. I agree totally.TY Mal

[Mad_Dem_X]

73. Dark chocolate, definitely!

[debm55]

74. Thank you Mad_Dem_X. Good choice.

[sir pball]

75. Chocolat Bonnat's milk chocolates are truly amazing. And ludicrously expensive.

They're a small French house that embraces milk chocolate, with the fatty richness and subtle muting of the sharp cocoa overtones…but it's still 65% cocoa, and incredibly well-sourced, so it has the intense flavor that you can only usually find in "normal" bars. You also pay quite dearly for it.

[debm55]

82. TY, sir pball. It sounds very good and might be worth the price to just try it. but you are right it is expensive.

[sir pball]

86. It is totally worth it.

That said, it makes you question the idea of "worth it" when a $25 bar of chocolate is, indeed, worth it…

[brush]

78. I like dark chocolate. And sorry, white chocolate is not chocolate. It's something else.

[debm55]

84. TY brush. I swear it is wax and not chocolalate.

[brush]

85. Yes, wax. I'll go with that.

[Different Drummer]

83. I have a strong preference for dark chocolate.

In a pinch, I can eat milk chocolate. In a pinch, I can't eat white chocolate!

[debm55]

87. Thank you Different Drummer. I agree with your post.

[Golden Raisin]

89. Dark.

[debm55]

92. TY Golden Raisen

[doc03]

90. 70% dark chocolate nt

[debm55]

93. TY doc03

[Freddie]

91. Dark, especially high quality

If you’re from Pennsylvania you may be familiar with Wilbur Buds, wonderful chocolate made in Lititz. They make milk and dark, and the dark is totally wonderful.
My cousin’s ex is from Russia and every time she went home to visit, she’d bring back boxes of Russian candy. Russian chocolate is awful. I asked him why he couldn’t marry a girl from Switzerland.

[debm55]

94. TY Freddie, I am from western PA. I will be on the lookout for it.

[electric_blue68]

95. I live for Dark Chocolate! ...

I remember when Lindt opened up a store on 5th Ave in ?the 90's!

I love 72% - 85%!
I think I like 90% almost as much - but the 85% has a bit more sugar that contrasts against the Chocolate.
About 3 wks ago I bought an 85%, and a 90% together so I could compare them.
.Also have had Godiva's, Valrona's, and Jaque Torres's. All 🧡 .

I do still love Reeses PB cups which are milk chocolate.

And for a while Trader Joe's had
dark chocolate PB cups! 👍🧡

[debm55]

99. TY electric_blue68 Wonderful post.
