What's the best chocolate you've ever had

[darthsidious]

So, what is the best chocolate you've ever had - can be dark, milk or white. How much did it cost?

And please, give me some responses other than Godiva and Hershey's Special Dark

EDIT: I guess I should list mine.

Dark: Puertomar - By Domori
Milk: Cocoa de Maracaibo - By Hachez
White: Icoa - By El Ray

I like Milka Alpenmilch. It's pretty cheap but can be hard to find in the states. EDIT: That said, I don't know that it's the best chocolate I've ever had... I'd just like some right now

It was dark and it was free.

 

[amish]

i don't eat much chocolate, but Frango Mints kick ass.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Hershey's dark chocolate

 

[TecHNooB]

I like crepes does that count? Truffles are good too but crepes are lighter.

i have to say my ultimate chocolate downfall are Godiva chocolate covered strawberries. They are HUGE and so amazingly delectable.

Cool. I just looked at their website, and it seems like they have an interesting selection of single varietal milk chocolates, something that is fairly rare (a lot of chocolatiers only do single varietal for dark chocolates). Any idea if I can get them in the US?

A local store that specializes in really spicy sauces sells this really spicy chocolate that's just amazing.

Dark Divine Chocolate. 70% Cocoa.

The site isn't great and it's kind of a pain to find somewhere to buy from in the US. Most sites are from the UK.

PS, i said Godiva beause i am not really a "chocolate person"... so, anyways, Godiva is best for me.

European chocolates PWN >>>>>>> American chocolates.


I hate to admit it, but it's true.


I have a family friend who does all kinds of things with chocolate (used to be a chef) and she orders online & these 11lb. bricks show up at her door. (.5kg???)

Anyway........the chocolate is simply to die for. So rich it'll send you into an insulin coma.........LOL!!


I'll try & find the site where she orders hers from & report back here.

My wife especially likes the truffles.

 

[maddogchen]

I can't really tell good chocolate apart...plus if I eat anything too sweet my teeth hurt...
Someone bought me chocolates from Europe before, that tasted good, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it or anything. I didn't even finish it, threw it away after 4 months.

I like Ritter Sport. I find it consistently good, not that expensive, and readily available Trader Joe's!

Just how good is this? Well, before I found Ritter Sport, I hated the taste of chocolate!

Quality in a square, FTW!

 

[lytalbayre]

Schauffenberger (here is Berkeley, CA) is pretty damn good. Although I like hershey's, so you can't call me an expert.

 

[dennilfloss]

Dark Easter chocolate.

 

[Jawo]

The most expensive must mean the best so Noka must be the best (never had it)

Really....anything Swiss or Belgium (Trader Joe's makes some kick ass 72%)

Best chocolate I ever had was on the "Royal Mile" in Edinburgh (Scotland). I forget the name of the place (might it have been called "Chocolate"?). Chocolate in liquid form, BTW, old school style.

I wouldn't say they're exactly HUGE considering they run $6.50 a pop.
