[elektrolokomotive]

Neuhaus truffles rool.

 

[chcarnage]

Dark: I don't like it much.
White: How can you make it special? There are some good white nut chocolates though.
Brown:

Cailler Rayon, $1.55/100g around the corner. With nougat, honey and bubbles.
Red Lindt Bowls, $ 6.50/200g around the corner. Chocolate with praline cream filling.
Truffes du jour, $7.30/100g from the renowned confectionery Sprüngli.
Toblerone isn't bad either.

I forget the name but it was in Paris and extremely expensive. Over $100 for a small dish.

Note that I have had many other chocolates that were both European and expensive, but that $100 dish was the best

Whatever they sell in Ikea. The chocolate from Switzerland or Finland....I don't know, but I like it

 

[jmcoreymv]

I'm pretty much addicted to M&M's...so yeah, the fancy stuff.

 

[IGBT]

..Extra Bitter Dark Chocolate at Trader Joes. Really is a taste experience to taste REAL chocolate without a ton of sugar in it.

Dark chocolate from...

[wiredspider]

Lindor truffles

 

[mugs]

Hershey's Symphony

 

[Tiamat]

All i know was that it was from Finale and in molten form with a little caky outside but mostly molten chocolate. That plus my snifter of Remy XO Excellence made for the best chocolate eating experience I've ever had

 

[Bootprint]

Don't know about the best, but Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory chocolate is pretty good.

My fiancee really liked the Moonstruck I got her.

 

[Goosemaster]

you people are making me oh so very hungry right now

 

[Crono]

Lindt Milk, White (my fave), or 100% cacao (cost $2.19 a bar here in NYC, but it's worth it). I don't care if they aren't outrageously expensive or elite, they still make some delicious chocolate. And anyone claiming white chocolate isn't "real" chocolate can kiss my brown a..

Swiss chocolate is the best.

 

[Rob9874]

Dove. Milk or Dark. A bag of pieces costs about $2.50.

 

[Molinjir]

Varlhona.

They have an 82% that's rather good, and a 72% with candied orange peel and grand marnier infusion that's also rather good as well.
EDIT

Names:

Orange one : Manjara

Dark: Abinao

Excellent stuff, though rather pricey

 

[Liberator21]

I don't know what kind it is but my favorite has to be the Planter's chocolate covered peanuts. DELICIOUS.

 

[Dubb]

dolphin 88% is the best I've found so far

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I eat Hershey's chocolate chips by the bag.

Quantity > Quality

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?

I don't think you can get it in the US (trust me, I've searched). My dad got it in Germany when he was over there.
The chocolate was so rich and creamy it was truly amazing

SchaffenBerger is pretty good. Personally, I perfer some other brands, but I recognize them as being one of the best american chocolatiers (along with E. Guittard). I think they're slightly overpriced compared to other stuff you can get from europe, but that might be just the store where I buy the chocolate.

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

I read that Noka article a while back, and I made an angry comment in the thread regarding it how companies decieving customers pissed me off. Such deception happens on a regular basis - a lot of companies that make chocolate bars don't make the chocolate from scratch. So if you're buying a plain chocolate bar from them, all you're paying for is for them to remold the chocolate.

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

Most white chocolate is overly sweet, and uses deodorzied cocoa butter (which robs the cocoa butter of it's mild chocolatey flavour). El Ray's Icoa is one of the few that does not deodourize their cocoa butter, and doesn't put too much sugar in it, leaving it with some chocolatey flavour, and not cloyingly sweet. I highly recommend seeking it out if you think you don't like white chocolate. El Ray makes some decent dark chocolate too (Gran Saman comes to mind), and are reasonably priced ($3/70g bar)

That being said, I almost always eat dark chocolate.

Chocolate is for women and children.

I'll never understand why women like chocolate.

My So puts Hershey chocolate syrup in her coffee. Eeeewww
