I like hazelnuts. I like chocolate. I like whole hazelnuts in chocolate. But as soon as you grind those critters up, I'm out. I don't like Nutella, absolutely hate praline...1

More for me To be fair, I kinda wish I didn't like it, because it's hard for me to stop on those things... Heck I got my mom to bring me back some praline paste from France so I can make Paris-Brest. Which is really not a good idea. Oh well.
Ok I'll have to check Target for Tim Tams... eventually.0 -
I guess everyone has something they feel strongly about. I think some of you people feel about chocolate the way I feel about pizza. NYC real pizzeria, no chains, no deep dish, crispy crust, brick oven if possible but not a deal breaker, real cheese, not too sweet. There's an old joke about there not being any such thing as a bad pizza; I disagree.1

I'm completely with you. I'm so picky about my pizza now... there is DEFINITELY such a thing as disgusting pizza.3 -

For best results, just nibble off opposite corners.2 -

Also on board with this. I happen to have about 20 wood fired pizza places in spitting distance so am quite spoiled. One day I'll get to New York to see how we compare!1 -
If you get diabetes from that then I'm really in trouble! I ate about 20 of those little rocket candies over the weekend! Halloween is a scary time for me.. and not from costumes... enjoy your chocolates!1

I guess next time she might choose better chocolate to binge on?4 -

Is that for the cookie, or the proposal?6 -

I freely admit to being a chocolate snob. I keep these in my pantry, just for baking:
2.5kg bags of Lindt Madagascar 70% coverture
I am actually a chocolate snob myself. I usually go with the high end stuff. The REAL Greatest packages cookie of all time. Just don't tell @Carlos_421
I mean it says it right there in the package. Chocolaty happinesses
You. Giant. Tease.
Don't do that to an Aussie in Canada that hasn't had these in years, and the only store that used to sell them (Loblaws) closed down.
The things I'd do for Tim Tams.. I love to use them as a straw for coffee (it's the only way!) I LOVED the hazelnut and caramel ones, but never found them here.
But oreos are love, too.

Sorry ..personally I'm not partial...when I was growing up they were the cheapest boxed chocolates and are a little bit of a joke down to the appalling kitsch ambassador adverts that we still enjoy quoting badly
If you look at the ingredients, Quality chocolate you'd be looking for high cocoa solids content above 70% and no use of vegetable oil in place of cocoa butter because vegetable oil is cheaper.
Ingredients. MILK chocolate 30% (sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, skimmed MILK powder, concentrated BUTTER, emulsifier: lecithins (SOYA), vanillin), HAZELNUTS (28.5%), sugar, palm oil, WHEAT flour, whey powder (MILK), fat-reduced cocoa, emulsifier: lecithins (SOYA), raising agent (sodium bicarbonate), salt, vanillin
Who cares if they're some of the cheaper ones? They taste heavenly! Hazelnuts and chocolate? SOLD!
Personally I'm not a chocolate snob (or a food snob for that matter). My sister has a job that sends her traveling all over the world and she always brings me something special like handcrafted high quality chocolates, teas, all kinds of fancy foodstuff which I really enjoy. Does not change the fact that Ferrero Rocher tastes like a trip to the unicorn land to me, but then again I have a weakness for hazelnut chocolatey stuff, which is also why a full jar of Nutella will never make it to my shelf again. I'll stick with the single serve packs, thank you.
As I said personal preference, they taste like meh to me
And we are supposed to take chocolate advice from someone who's never had a proper taco?9 -

My Metro carries them...I've been seeing them everywhere.0
