    Today I had a 9 gram square of Café-Tasse Noir. I also like their Orange (I'm a fan of chocolate mixed with other flavors) and Caramel.

    To push a local brand, I enjoy a lot of the Vosges' flavors: http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/category/vosges-gourmet-dark-chocolate. I do especially like the black salt caramel, which isn't all that exotic a combination, though.

    Trader Joe's 72% imported Belgian dark chocolate is REALLY good!

    It all really depends what I'm looking for.

    If I want chocolate with a really good, velvety texture, I'll pick up Lindt (all flavors are good, haven't been disappointed yet. I was very impressed with their white chocolate coconut!)

    If I want a chocolate bar with unique flavors, I purchase Chuao. (So far I have only tried the potato chip bar, but I bought popcorn and rocky road and I'm sure I won't be disappointed!)

    In all other circumstances, if I have a lot of money to blow ($7 per chocolate bar), I'll treat myself to Sucre's Sicilian Pistachio & Rose Petal Chocolate Bar... so good! I have never had rose petals prior to this, but they have really cute chocolates (perfect for gifts the way they're packaged), so I splurged and it turns out I love rose petals and their milk chocolate! Which was surprising for me, considering I'm usually more into dark chocolate.

    ChocoLove has great flavors. They are based out of Boulder, CO so I'm not sure if its a Colorado only thing because I haven’t seen it mentioned in this thread but everything I have tried by them has been fantastic!

    CO and TX, at least. I really like ChocoLove, too. The chocolate is good on its own, and when it isn't plain, the mixed in bits are usually a good size and amount - unlike some varieties where you have to go hunting for them.

    I love, love, love dark chocolate and can even tolerate the 90% cocoa. I usually eat Ghiradelli squares because they are really good and perfectly portioned but want to try something new.

    Anyone have any recommendations for some good chocolate that isn't your typical M&M's, Dove, Hershey's, etc..?

    Ghiradelli makes an awesome chocolate with sea salt. Look for their varieties. I haven't met one that I don't really like (except white chocolate mint....I don't like white chocolate OR mint).

    I prefer white chocolate Lindt truffles.... and a plethora of Godiva truffles.

    I'm also a big fan of Kinder and Toblerone chocolate bars.

    I have a couple of these right now, the Bat is my favorite, it is 72% with cocoa nibs in it.
