Me, I love choco-biscotti, so I sometimes get bite-sized stuff like this:

TBH, I haven’t really found the perfect chocolate-combo yet.

I do like combining dark chocolate pieces with toasted almonds as a (mostly) healthy snack. Still, I feel like there’s something probably better out there…?

    I like me some fancy chocolate.

    Bean-to-bar dark chocolates let you distinguish the characteristics of different locales’ cacao beans. They’re not cheap but they’re a real pleasure.

    I like chocolate covered peanut butter cremes. I’ll eat Reese’s in a pinch (my favorite regular cany bar is Reese’s Nutrageous, which is getting increasingly difficult to find) but getting the box-of-chocolate style is waaaaay better.

    Also, chocolate truffles with rum. :-9

      There’s an interesting peanut butter patty I found at Costco called Skinny Dipped. It’s WAY less sweet than a reese’s, and the peanut butter is real peanut butter. The chocolate is dark. I really like them, but they aren’t sweet enough for some folks.

        Right?? And my biggest problem is that the best ones I’ve found are, like, two hours away by car.

    This reminded me that I’ve been wanting to make biscotti to have with tea.

    I prefer my chocolate bitter, so I’ll often get the unsweet baking bars to melt then stir in crispy rice (and orange zest if I’m feeling fancy). I did just get some dried Bing cherries, so I might try chopping them and adding to my next bar

    Years ago, my aunt got into making chocolates. They all had different kinds of chocolate and different shapes and coatings and looked beautiful. But invariably were filled with coconut.

    It became a running joke: “mmm, coconut!” “Oh wow, this one’s got coconut in it!” Etc.

    I haven’t had any in a while, and I’m not sure if they even carry them anymore, AND the tub was like a million dollars last time I saw one, but Costco had these Caramel Macademia Clusters that just perfectly nailed the ratios and didn’t source their chocolate from Hershey (which is a whole other discussion, but even if I’m very American and don’t dislike it, it’s not always the right fit), and they were basically a diabetes succubus.

      Those showed up a year or so ago. Pretty good, but sold out fast.

      If you like them, I recommend trying some of the Hawaiian chocolate macadamia nut packs. Destroys the Costco version.

    I normally have semi-sweet chocolate chips (~40g/day). I occasionally have Reece’s mini cups when someone sends them (not made in Japan) which is to say a couple of times a year at most. The only other thing I have somewhat regularly are chocolate-covered nuts (peanuts or, if I feel fancy, almonds).

    a simple solid bar with at least 60% cocoa, too high and it melts too easily where I live, too low and it is probably mass produced slop

    I wish I had one.

    I have yet to taste actual cocoa fruit, but any chocolate taste disgusting to me, as in I derived no enjoyment tasting it.

    The closest I can describe it is nauseating. Also don’t like the taste of coffee and milk (maybe there’s some pattern here) so most dessert is a no go for me, and I hate it because they looks so fun.

    Dark chocolate covered roasted coffee beans are my favorite, used to like salted chocolate caramels but they are very sweet. From a sampler anything with coconut or cherry.

    I like ferro rocher (spelling) but don’t get them anymore. Twin is allergic to tree nuts so I don’t risk it.

    Anything dark chocolate after that I suppose!
