Its fun not knowing what your going to bite into. Well maybe not fun, rollercoasters are fun but more like a little surprise.

Ghiardelli - I know I really mispelled that name but I can't pronounce it - much less spell it.

Valhrona is the best.

Bothwell · Post by **Bothwell** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 8:29 am

My wife is a New Zealander and loves Cadburys. She swears that Cadburys in the U.S. does not taste the same as the Cadburys in NZ.

Funny I just heard on the news today "DARK CHOCOLATE" is good for the heart!

So if you don't mind the calories, you can eat Dark Chocolate to your hearts content!!

(They didn't mention any particular brand, so.......)

Aside from the Cadbury's and Ghiradelli, there isn't a single other kind I've ever heard of. There must be some awesome, yummy chocolates in the UK. Just the names of them make them sound exotic.

For a good American brand, how about Dove chocolate? Does the UK have that?

Now that's funny! We've got Dove soap too, Abbey and I have no idea why I never thought of how odd that is!

Hershey kisses with cordial cherries inside, and chocolate covered orange jelly sticks.

Yeah? But do you love chocolate?

Because this thread now seems to be about the young man with all the ladies on here drooling over him, how about we cover him in body chocolate. That way we can still stay on topic and get the best of both worlds

Personally, I love Guylian chocolate seashells and Thornton's continential selection. Now they are yummy!!

I don't know how to spell it either.

Remember when I was working in a grocery store and my manager didn't want any new products. But they gave out samples to the owner and they got the shelf space!!!

Haven't had half the brands mentioned in this thread but I do like the Ghiardelli how ever it is spelled. Also like the dove dark.

You spelt it right nvalleyvee, it is Ghiardelli.

Actually, she didn't... it's Ghirardelli.

Penny, I don't really love chocolate. I like it sometimes, a little goes a

long way. Godivas are really really good, and See's makes these orange

cream thingies that are to die for.

As for the young man in question... don't bother to wrap 'im up... (or

the body chocolate!) I'll take him just the way he is!!

:D

If I stand outside of my apartment, I can smell the Hershey's chocolate. It's REALLY strong over at my daughter's, who's right by the Reese's plant!

I prefer Hershey's Dark Chocolate, myself.

BTW, I live on Chocolate Avenue!! LOL!!

Sorry, you're right valerie, I stand corrected, it is spelt Ghirardelli.

Hi everyone, just back from a week in the Algarve and noticed that there were some replies.

Just wanted to say that DOVE chocolate is known as Galaxy here in Ireland :-4

Oh yeah, IceCubes!! Loved them frozen. And I have to say just once, there is almost no bad chocolate...some just better than others. The only kind I won't eat is that cheap junk they make molded Easter animals out of! Now to really put a damper on this delicious discussion, chocolate craving is usually nothing more than a magnesium deficiency...arghhh! I barely eat the stuff any more since I've gone mineral! Dang! But sometimes....sometimes........mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I heard that the average chocolate bar contains (an acceptable) 8 insect legs. Can anyone verify this for me please ?
