Curse you.  Now I'm craving it again and I thought I'd managed to cure myself *lol*
And I need a good red to go with it as well...

What's really decadant is if someone makes a chocolate fondant with that stuff....

Haha, sorry

You're so right, and while I love it in/with everything, I think I'm more guilty of eating the pistoles right out of the box. No wonder my food cost can get high...

Chocolate supposed to contain estrogenics so perhaps its logical it is so nice for women? 
Chocolate coated biscuits are so irressitible that I force myself to avoid the biscuits shelves in the supermarket.

Men traditionally pick up mints or toffee type confectionery for themselves too.

Anyone work in confectionary shop or can do a quick poll of friends, relatives and workmates about preferences for chocolate or non-chocs among them?

Semi-sweet.

Has anyone here ever had a Chocolate Orange? I only ever get them at Christmas, so they're a real treat for me.



They also make Chocolate Raspberries. Even though raspberries are my favorite fruit, I like Chocolate Oranges better.

Oh my God, look at the size of that chicken over there! <stealing all the chocolate and running off!>

I Love chocolate oranges, and I only get them at christmas as well. Theres always a chocolate orange off of someone 

My favourite chocolate is white chocolate, specifically Milkybar. Although interestingly enough my appetite for chocolate has decreased since I started T. I am going more and more for sweets like gummy bears instead.

All sweets are tastey!

OMG! Do not get me started on chocolate I've never been a chocolate person until now. Oero's are oooo so yummy! Chocolate hard shell on my Ice cream... Chocolate m & m's... Chocolate chip cookies! I'm trying to hard to diet correctly and find myself in the pantry at night stuffing my face with oero's 2 nights a week. 

Yea I totally dig chocolate. I like the dark chocolate with sea salt as well. But I have no self control over it and usually devour (yes I said devour) the entire bar. SO I usually get them when I want to treat myself.

I went to Germany a few years around Christmas for two weeks. Got to visit the Lindt factory in Cologne. Awesome place. Lots of samples. I don't know why but the chocolate over there tasted better too me.

wow alot of you have some rather sophisticated tastes in chocolate, i'll be noting some of those mentioned for my next shopping trip. 

My vice is the usual hersheys chocolate bar lol

I had a nose-about in a huge book on the history etc. of chocolate - it was very interesting to read how each country has it's "national taste" in chocolate, which is why they all taste a bit different - like in the UK, we apparently like it with more vanilla in (which in practice means vanillin, I guess). There are lots of trace ingredients that give chocolate its distinctive flavour in each country.

You are ruining my diet!!

Tap it... unwrap it...

I'm not much of a milk chocolate fan, I wonder if they make those chocolate oranges in dark chocolate because I want one

No sympathy from me you devil girl you!

Thank goodness I only log on here later at night so I can't just run out to the shops.
And that the shop that I usually get it from is a good 35 minute drive away...
