I've been a chocophile for about 5 years. I'm not sure how much I've eaten, but I have 50 new types I have eaten this year so far
My favourite is Venchi 75%. It's dark of course. Italian. Not sure of bean origin, but it is an incredible creamy bar for such a high precentage. You can buy it at many of the specialist online chocolate retailers - not the supermarket. It's not expensive compared to some gormet chocs, about £3.50 for a 100g bar. Expensive I guess compared with Cadbury, but this is way more rewarding, you eat less, need less and it is good for you (and contains very little sugar or bad fats compared to shite bars).
Thought maybe y'all might be able to help me find some cool new chocs - add a photo if you can...
Oh yeah, and please no-one say Cadbury Dairy Milk. There is so little cocoa solid in it that the Eurpean Union is trying to make them call it Vegelate (it's all vegtable fats...) I know a lot of people eat it, but it's not chocolate. Try real chocolate and you won't go back...
but this thing about the EU and vegelate is a lie.
OK - so the Vegelate thing is a lie. It was in the press a lot here (as you probably know). I believed. I'm stupid. Found the truth on Wiki (what a great resource). Vegelate
Sorry....
At least you know the names of the good stuff... lot of mmmm... candy bars being propsed as chocolate.
