Cadbury's Fruit and Nut. Not the crappy "made under licence by Hershey's" stuff either ... I mean the good "glass and a half of full cream dairy milk" version you get in Australia (or the UK ... or even Canadia at a pinch).

Definately Dark....Any brand. I even like the really high percent cocoa stuff. The really bitter ones.

I like the kind from LG (http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/mobile%20phones_select%20by%20carrier_verizon_CHOC OLATE.jhtml). Just don't use it for 'smores!

What he said. I also really like dark because it has the least amount of sugar. Being diabetic the less sugar the better.

I hate Dark chocolate. I like chocolates with mint in them like York.

I was eating a bar with 85% when I made this I was bored and was wondering if anyone else liked high cocoa %s. Everyone I know only like hershey's its way to sweet for me.

I like Godiva's Dark Chocolate liquor in a martini on ice. Stirred twice. Very nice.

Even though it's not "real" chocolate, White Chocolate all the way.

my favorite bar was made Nestle - Alpine White I believe it was called. Can't find it anywhere I heard they still sell it in Mexico. I havn't been able to find a White Chocolate I like since it was discontinued and have taken a liking to dark. Have a suggestion of a good white?

I can never find pure white chocolate, I always have to settle for Hershey's Cookies and Cream, which isn't bad. I had Ghirardelli white chocolate in San Francisco, and it was pretty damn great, but than again everything they make is great. http://www.ghirardelli.com/products/bars_white.aspx

Ah, Ghirardelli...yes.... Rice-a-Roni is NOT the SF treat. This stuff is. Especially as a fondu.

I absolutely refuse to shop at WalMart. I don't care that I have to pay more for certain things, I will pay more. I am avidly against WalMart's pathetic treatment of its employees, as if they are chattal rather than people, and they do this on a worldwide scale. They can afford to treat their workers well, but are too damned greedy. So if the only place to buy Lindt is WalMart, I'll stick with my Ghirardelli 72%, tyvm.

I've seen the brand at other places as well. I just bought it there.
