M-joy is delicious..

I am not a chocolate fan, but when I do have a craving for chocolate, a Hershey's Kiss hits the spot

If you ever visit Hershey, Pennsylvania, the whole air smells of chocolate

I remember I really liked this chocolate when I was a child..I discovered it last year in one store and bought it - but it's different from what I remember, or my taste has changed

For fancy stuff I really like local choclatiers like:



and




If we're talking cheaper everyday stuff, then:

I could come up with some sophisticated answer here, but the truth is I'm a chocolate whore. I'll take almost any chocolate.

In one sense I agree (it's all good), but I've gotten snobby about all things food in my old age. If I'm gonna brave the calories, dammit, I want it to be GOOD. I'll take cadbury over hersheys EVERY time.

Well, in Czech Republic they're selling cheaper "chocolates". They're not real chocolates, they are more like vegetable fat mixed with something brown I'm sure you won't like it

Sounds familiar, my parents say that almost all products have changed for the worse too... Btw I like this chocolate as well

Efan said:

So cute!

zaza said:

Yeah, just fat and sugar. A chocolate should have a minimum of 30-40% of cocoa in it to be considered a chocolate.

zaza said:

Okay, that sounds dreadful.

This one could pass too

I need to become a little more snobby. Actually, I need to exercise a little restraint. Yesterday, I caved in and had the dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie from Levain Bakery. It was orgasmic (and high-quality), but I've gotta repent today. It was so worth it, though.

Aelis said:

I think there's only some 10% of cocoa in it. It's labeled as "cocoa goodies" Liars, it's not even good..

or Lindts dark.
The darker the better.

zaza said:

Those are very unhealthy. Because of such products many people say chocolate is unhealthy. They just don't know that what they're talking about is far from chocolate!
But I suppose you can buy some high-quality chocolates there as well?

I think I would absolutely love this!

Of course Milka, Lindt, RitterSport (?)..plenty of chocolates. Yummy

Aelis said:

I know that at least in the States, the cocoa content of most chocolate products is negligible these days. Perhaps international brands have encountered the same degradation.

zaza said:

I was already afraid where you live! Just kidding.

Lammastide said:

I can understand. My parents and everyone who lived here during socialism say that the quality of most products was so much better when they were children, although most of our products were never comparable to those from western Europe. Thank God we live so close to Italy because here, even if you have money that you are willing to spend, you can hardly buy a good product, especially if we're talking about food. Except for homemade/homegrown things that are, of course, a different story.

The best chocolates are imported from Germany..and our czech chocolate "Orion" is tasty too

zaza said:

I have once tried this amazing chocolate, champagne-flavoured, packed in a nice dark green carton with a picture on it (a logo and a champagne bottle I guess). I bought it in a cute food shop in Italy, but they don't have it anymore It was one of the best chocolates I have ever tasted. Does it sound familiar to you? Because I think it was a German company, but I can't remember for sure
