Hi Ian,
Yes dark chocolate, food from the gods indeed. Chocolate covered ginger, yum. I used to like dark chocolate covered candied orange peel but Purdy’s doesn’t make it anymore.

Dark chocolate covered ginger is a guaranteed option, it just keeps getting better. I saw this post yesterday and just had to comment.

it must be pointed out that the reason it is still in the box is because we have been knocking down the dilettante milk chocolate peppermint truffles (at only 35%), which are astonishingly good for a milk chocolate product. (costco, bless their hearts, sells a 72 truffle pack for $9.99 during the holiday season.)

moonstruck, from oregon, is another highly recommended artisan chocolatier, who made the chocolates given in the academy award gift bags a couple of years ago.

by the way: chocolate and wine, meet chocolate and fine coffee.

and as for the woman who quit at 119: imagine how long she would have lived if she hadn’t quit…

Join the club. It seems there are lots of us. Your family seems to resemble mine in this chocolate thing.

Hi PU,
Interestingly enough I have seen some ice wines listed as going well with chocolate. You are right, dark chocolate is the only one worth considering, milk chocolate, forget it. We are not suffering here from lack of fine chocolate, fortunately, if I were eating it that is.

Hi CA,
I’m trying hard to give it up because it is contributing to my extra pounds.

Hi Ellee,
I don’t know how my daughter manages this restraint for I could never do it. It sounds like I’d better give Brussels a miss, I’ll have to meet Eurodog in London.

Hi Jams,
Another side effect of your illness, giving up chocolate. Too bad. One a day is good for your health’s sake, but more too much. That’s if you’re not a chocoholic.

Hi Ramona,
Join the club. You’ll not be lonely.

Hi James,
That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me, assuming I’m included in the blanket statement.

Hi Sally,
How I wish I was like you in the chocolate department. It would be better for me I’m sure.

Hi Voyager,
Now that’s really interesting. Most are the take or leave it types but a real dislike must be really rare. Well all the more for B.

Thanks to all of you for visiting and commenting.
