Dark chololate lovers check in
I couple months ago I was turned on to the "adult" taste of dark chocolate.

So far, my favs are Lindt's w/extreme orange and Ghirardelli's 70% cocoa.

Eating a couple squares of Lindt's 85% cocoa. Too much for me ... enjoyed 70%.

1. I like dark chocolate.
Of course, I also look like dark chocolate, so it's like a weird form of cannibalism for me.

2. That's the only real form.
I tend to go for Green and Black's. It's organic and fair-trade.

The chocolate 'hit' is so much more powerful, plus there's none of the nasty milky-sweetness.

3. I wonder if that's the kind that's in my pantry....
But I'm too lazy to get up and look right now ;) It's definitely fair-trade, though... and YUMMAY! :bounce:

6. Yeah, we tried the 85% and it was a bit too much.
The little Dove dark squares are pretty good. Whenever I make it to World Market, I like to buy some of the European brands.

7. Dark chocolate is the BEST!
Of course, I am a hopeless chocoholic, so, for me, the richer the better.

8. Divine Chocolate's 70% is my fav! Fair trade and organic!
:9 :9 :9

Here's another kicker: The growers own a stake in the company! It's a win/win for everybody!

9. Sharffenberger's 86% Dark for me.
It's like medicine. I just take a little square and POW!

Honestly, it's really more like therapy than candy. :7

11. Dark chocolate is good for your heart too
It has some of the same chemicals and anti-oxidants that red wine does. Dark chocolate contains more flavoniods than any other food -- including green tea, black tea, red wine, and blueberries.

13. It's the REAL chocolate
Don't let those milk-chocolate loving wusses get to you. There is ONLY dark chocolate.

We get some great Belgian dark chocolate at Trader Joe's, as well as chunks of Ghiradelli's dark chocolate. There are also some French-made bars there, and some Chilean, if I recall properly. They're all really good, but the big - 1 lb. - Belgian stuff is my favorite.

I never liked milk chocolate, even as a kid. It seems leave your mouth coated. Ick.

14. I like dark chocolate & milk chocolate..
and, most kinds of chocolate. As long as it's not mixed with peanut butter... (and, I like peanut butter, too)

so, I am pretty much a chocolate lover.
