I will be asking questions about chocolate and Valentines.  Towards the end of the week there will be a very special question and the winner will earn a siggy!

 

Questions.

 

1. What is your most favorite candy bar?

 

 

 

2. What is your favorite type of chocolate?

 

Unsweetened Chocolate

Bittersweet Chocolate

Semisweet Chocolate

Milk Chocolate

Sweet Baking Chocolate

Dark Choclate

White Chocolate (Commonly called a chocolate, it's not a true one -- legally.)

Any other type of chocolate.

 

 

#3. What is your favorite chocolate Easter candy? You can have more than one.

 

 

 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I feel like I should say the whole thing because gestalt but I usually nibble the outside away so I can have the inside as a pure bite of goodness so... the inside.

[Taren]

I like a Boost bar. It's just the right amount of everything and so good with a cup of tea!

I like a Twix...oh or anything made by galaxy chocolate. A ripple is amazing!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I totally misread that as candy part...

 

im still gonna say the inside.

 

cause there's no candy bar I could single out as more beloved than any other.

[Ryrin]

Chocolate and peanut butter for me or chocolate- marshmallow-nut triad of goodness.

Reeses or Rocky Road.

 

Oh, yes, Cadbury Eggs.

I decided to let that alone. :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

My sister went to Europe, mainly Italy, in high school and college, and brought back American brand chocolate bars from Italy, like Kit Kats.... they were so much better than the American versions it's made me sad for our chocolate ever since,

[blank]

Not to be down on American chocolate but a few years ago a big supermarket had an American aisle and it had all the chocolate I used to hear about on tv from movies and shows and I was super excited.

 

Less excited after I tried it. 

[Songstress]

Yeah, most American chocolate isn't the best quality.  Cass brought me some Aussie treats when she was here in September, and they were good.  I should go scout for more imported chocolates, there's a little coffee shop around the corner from me that stocks some UK treats.

 

I try to veer away from the big Hershey and M&M/Mars brands and go for smaller brands with higher quality overall, although I do loves me some Ghirardelli.  

 

Usually I pick anything dark chocolate.  The Milky Way Midnight is one of the few M&M/Mars that I'll grab any time.

 

Love KitKats, too.

[JamesBrown]

Agreed about American chocolate. I had a truffle when in Austria and didn't want to eat or drink anything else for the next two hours. Just the taste in my mouth....

 

Alas, I'm in America. I typically lean toward Dark Chocolate Milky Way. I like chocolate and peanut butter together, but Reese's peanut butter cups leaves me cold.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

We mostly have enjoy life chocolate bc it's dairy and soy free. It's ok but I wish there was better quality available.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

You know who has great candy in general, not just chocolate, is Japan. A friend gets monthly snack boxes from a few Japanese companies and while it looks like American candy in some ways, it tastes like actual food. Not just sugar ad corn syrup and various amounts of citric acid etc., but... well, it's like willie wonka's wallpaper.  Strawberry pocky tastes like strawberry.

 

i wish we could get their sliced chocolate. The evil I could do with that...

Love Austrian chocolate. I remember getting some in Vienna.

there are companies that send all kinds of snacks overseas. it may be much less expensive that way but i bet he could tell you what’s yummiest. i never quite know what i’m getting into from the labels lol 

[Elgee]

I had the most delicious Mozart chocolate in Salzburg, Austria! And of course Belgian truffles ... oh.my.word.

 

Here locally my favourite is dark chocolate with chili.

[Ryrin]

Loved Salzburg too. Mexican hot chocolate usually has chili in it.

[Ryrin]

Question #2 is up.

 

Feel free to start from #1.

[Cross]

1. totally with blank here, twix

 

2. nearly anything BUT white chocolate. if i had to put my finger on one it’d be milk chocolate...or dark chocolate

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

All chocolate is good chocolate. Belgian Chocolate is very good chocolate. 

 

In the states white chocolate cannot be legally labeled chocolate. Cause no cocoa solids. Often no cocoa anything.

I agree ! XD

Even if I looooooove Toblerone which is ... from switzerland (I think)

The last one I bought was milk chocolate with bits of salted almonds in it :3

 

Favourite chocolate is probably milk chocolate, then the white.. then the dark one

[blank]

always milk chocolate!

 

i wish I liked dark chocolate, at least in the UK there are a lot of fancy brands with interesting flavours but they're all made with dark chocolate. 

 

Although I had the lindt milk chocolate with sea salt once and it was actually delicious.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

The Lindt with chili, and with orange... actually they're all great.

[Rhea]

So I had a new chocolate at Christmas. One of the docs I work with gave me chocolates from India. Mirzam is the company. They were amazing. The best chocolate I've had in a long time!
