I'm currently eating one of these...

And OH MY GOD it is by FAR the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted. Better than Godiva and See's and all that fancy chocolate. The texture is so utterly perfect I just can't even get over it. Lol

I have like 20 bars of this from 99¢ Days at the Grocery Outlet. I find it to be a good but somewhat coarse-tasting chocolate, in a league with, oh, Cadbury (another rather bold-flavored treat imo). I am a bit put off by the strong orange, cherry and vanilla notes coming from a CocaCola-like sledgehammer approach to flavor profile blending. Don't get me wrong; I worship at the feet of food formulation chemists.

But if you want to experience sudden moistness of the fundament, allow me to recommend Lindt "Chocoletti" with hazelnut nougat filling, or if you like a homogeneous bit o' genius, Callebaut Gianduja. It comes in eleven-pound bars, and I comes close to teh comes just pondering that. cn

Really?!?!?!?!? I've never had Nutella. I'm afraid to try it now.

I will put crunchy pb on a tortilla and cover it in Hersheys syrup. Sounds like Nutella may be abetter alternative.

its better than crack

I worked for an ice cream manufacturer once and one of my jobs was to bring the chocolate to temp by heating it up in big copper kettle drums. First you needed to bust it up into smaller pieces because it came in 10 pound bars {which lasts a very long time by the way when eaten alone

} then slowly heated, it's stirring was automated but I did have to check in on it for QC reasons...not to mention part of my job was to taste test the finished product.

nutella and pb on toasted waffle is my go to for sweets.

My wife bought me a 10lb candy bar once. $100. Fucking delicious.

We have a chocalte store downtown Portland. I can easily drop $100 there on just a few bars from around the world. Incredible

She's just as bad. This place serves melted chocolate drinks. SERIOUSLY, like espresso, only it's pure chocolate

What?!? Course tasting?! It's by far the smoothest chocolate I've had... I think Cadbury is gross.. too grainy and sweet. Not a big fan of Lindt either (but I do love their coconut white chocolate mmm). Haha, to each his own!

I like dark chocolate myself. 72% cocoa. I like to have a piece after sex. It helps keep that buzz going.

We don't really go in for sweets ... I like my chocolate syrup on my cap'n crunch, with almond milk. The boss lady said that she loves those lindt white chocolate ones.

I had some chocolate in England that was a dark, milk chocolate, and I can't remember it's name, but it was so fuckin' delicious!

Oh CN!

Problem is you got those bars for .99 because they'd been stored/handled improperly. If chocolate comes out of temper you get grainy crapola. Chocolate is not to be trifled with.

Callebaut? surely you jest. Chocolate big leagues:

I buy the 3 KG Les Feves when I'm dipping. But they have 3KG bars too if that's your particular poison.

And I was soooo on that one too - seeing your post simply broke my heart.

Like a bum on a ham sandwich ~ on it ~.

Sorry. I never get to be funny though, so it's very charitable of you to let me have it, lol. Besides, it was an easy one for amateurs like me; I will let you have one of the good ones.
