I like semi-sweet/dark chocolate. my favorite is dove, it's just so silky smooth and a perfect balance between sweet and bitter. yum!

Not all chocolate is good. Some of those cheap a$$, chalky, design on the tin foil wrap attemps at chocolate you get for Halloween or Easter make chocolate look bad.

I am very serious about my chocolate.
I keep on hand in my cupboard a
a few pounds of Callebaut
and
a few pounds of Valrhona Noir Amer.

Both can be purchased over the internet.

I know of no fine chocolate at any price anywhere else in the world.

Having been raised as a proper Dutch guy, I'm a chocolate expert :) Hmmmmm.... Verkade, Droste, Rhoningen etc etc. I'm hungry... I must have some piece of chocolate stowed away somewhere ;)

Good old Hershey's is the best for me. There are others I like, but none as good as Hershey's.

Ah, tagej, another chocoholic guy I see :)
Yup, Verkade I like very much. Droste (flikken) also. Côte d'Or is another very tasty one, especially the fine bittersweet chocolate with whole hazelnuts. Cadbury is another I like, the one with raisins and almonds.

Mostly, chocolate is chocolate (except the really cheap halloween stuff, that's plastic, blegh.) Being but a poor college student, my poison of choice at the moment is Dove Dark. Affordable.

Godiva, Ghiradelli, Kinder, Lindt are some of my faves. Cadbury mini eggs are also good.

Godiva is quite good, however, I got some hand dipped chocolates from the Greenbrier in West Virginia. They were fantastic. You might be able to get them at their website.

The truffles were especially good...<slurp> :)
