What is wong with Yahoo? I've been using them since I first begin with the Internet.Hey, everybody, I found the guy that still uses Yahoo!
Well, back in like 2000 when Yahoo results started also returning Google results, I noticed that the Google results were consistently better than the Yahoo results...What is wong with Yahoo? I've been using them since I first begin with the Internet.
Well, guess they're not dark. But I like them. I used to buy them as a kid, one at a time. Bought a box of 24 this summer, allow myself no more than 1/4 bar a day. It's been many years, but they don't seem obviously different from what I got as a kid. Some research revealed that it's a different company that makes them now, guess it was sold. The bars are longer and more slender, but AFAIK essentially otherwise the same.Only about the card game, and never heard or seen Uno dark chocolate bars
I'm not buying that, but anything that delicious is good for the morale, and that is good for you! I try not to pig out on it!Love dark choco. 85% and better. So good for you as well.
I think 85% and higher will keep you from pigging out.I'm not buying that, but anything that delicious is good for the morale, and that is good for you! I try not to pig out on it!
Well, duh. I have a hard time enjoying that high % cocoa solids chocolate. I have some in the cupboard. I had some Dove today, yeah, it's my absolute favorite right now. It's probably 70% if that.I think 85% and higher will keep you from pigging out.
I believe 70% will work as that is still higher then most name brands chocolate bars.Well, duh. I have a hard time enjoying that high % cocoa solids chocolate. I have some in the cupboard. I had some Dove today, yeah, it's my absolute favorite right now. It's probably 70% if that.

Yea, once you've had quality chocolate, (dark or otherwise) Hersey's tastes like a mass produced product and very plain.~65%-70% is the sweet spot. Any more than that I find the texture suffers too much. I just reach for top shelf stuff these days, that way a tiny square satisfies me. I like A. Morin, or Dandelion for domestic.

The last time I purchased Hershey's cocoa (almost 40 years ago) I actually brought it back to the supermarket and asked for my money back. I am pretty sure I've never done that before or since except for Costco, where it's a policy of theirs. These days I buy only Droste cocoa. It's Dutch alkali processed, but it tastes the best to me and I've tried Callebaut, Pernigotti, Valrhona (3kg for $60 off Amazon, don't know if I'll ever finish it), an organic varietal offered by Costco (yup, I returned that, it didn't even taste like cocoa). Also, Droste cocoa cardboard packaging is the only packaging I've ever experienced that opens perfectly every time.Yea, once you've had quality chocolate, (dark or otherwise) Hersey's tastes like a mass produced product and very plain.

I have two in my cabinet, one 70%, the other 85%. I tried one rectangle of the 85% yesterday, tasted not nearly as sweet as I like.Well I brought a few bars of Green&Black's Organic 85% Cacao over at Walmart this morning. Just tried a piece and diffenably different from the weaker stuff I'm used too. G&B were also the only brand the wasn't Dutched. And it is FairTrade as well.

Just tried two rectangles of it. I like it! It's nowhere near as sweet as the Dove Dark I've been sampling regularly. Way different, but I like it.How is the 70%? Walgreens does have high cocoa dark that is sweeten with Stevia but Walmart doesn't.
