    Thanks to @kkenseth I'm in love with Taza and Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Almond bar.


    Other than that, I'm milk chocolate girl and enjoy everything from Dove to specialty chocolates made by a chocolatier.

    Giant's Simply Enjoy 85% cocoa
    Ghiradeli 86% Midnight Reverie chocolate -it has an amaretto-like flavor that I really like.

    I didn't care much for Lindt's 90% chocolate. It tasted really burnt and bitter. I'm still trying to find more super dark chocolate brands to try out.

    I love this Freia 86% that we have here. After being sick for three nights in a row it actually calmed my tummy, thank goodness for chocolate!

    I like Dove dark or Hershey's special dark. Those are my two favorites. I'm not fond of super dark chocolate.

    I prefer a lower dark chocolate then the 90% I eat. But if I buy 70% I'll eat the whole bar, lol. 90% solves my chocolate craving and I'm happy with 1/12th of a bar.

    I used to enjoy Hershey's chocolate. Now when I try some, it's so overwhelmingly sweet to me I can't eat much of it (which is a good thing). I'm appreciating good dark chocolate more and more.

    Falize dark chocolate (74% cacao). Also Lindt dark chocolate truffles on occasion.

    Also, those still eating milk chocolate, dark chocolate is lower in sugar than milk chocolate and has numerous health benefits. I saw a show a couple weeks ago where a nutrition doctor said 1 ounce of dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao) a day is good for most people. Yeah, yeah, it's a TV show but there is a fair amount of research now that has found many benefits to dark chocolate:

    Dove Dark Chocolate! I find Hershey's Dark a bit strong.

    I actually like all chocolate with the exception of white chocolate. I love Trader joe's peanut butter cups...they taste much better than Reese(although I am a sucker for those too).

    I'm not overly picky about chocolate. I don't like dark chocolate higher than 80% because it's too dry tasting (though works great with Nutella on it). I usually buy President's Choice 72% dark chocolate bars at 400 grams for $5.

    Ghiradelli makes a 70% dark chocolate and salted caramel bar. BOY is it delicious. When I see them, I get them. With the salt and caramel, I cannot eat very much which is perfect. But, I absolutely love the creaminess of Dove dark chocolate.

    my only favorite was Belgium dark chocolate straight from a Belgium shop....it's about the only thing i miss about not still being married to my ex hubby who use to bring me loads of it home when he had a trip there!

    now, i have no fav at all but, do tolerate the dove dark chocolate squares and i love the cacoa/chocolate used in the gorp energy squares i really like.
