What's your favorite quality/taste dark chocolate? I have eaten, pre-MFP, a dark Hershey bar with blueberries and nuts that was dee-lish. Does anyone want to share their faves?

    Dark chocolate, mmm! There's this certain brand at Savemart where its dark chocolate and a bit of chili. The bitterness combined with a little kick at the end is to die for!

    I hate Hershey. I love lindt and godiva, or trader joe's belgian chocolate. Their 100 calories chocolate bars are perfect for me right now. Both the milk and the dark are delicious.

    Lindt makes a dark chocolate and coconut bar. They sell them at Cost Plus World Market. $4 for 1 bar, but boy is it good.

    Theo is my favorite brand right now, though I haven't tried many. Divine makes some flavored ones, if you like that. I've seen them at World Market.
    I like to buy the recommended brands on this list

    Working for a chocolate factory, I am rather prejudice :blushing: HOWEVER, at work, we make a dark chocolate (55% cacao) crispy fruit bark - its one of the few chocolate items we made that I ate. It has dried blueberries, cranberries, crisp rice and apricots all in dark chocolate with the essence of oranges. :love: In December, I was diagnosed as gluten and dairy intolerant and can no longer have it - its the one thing we make that I miss. I don't eat any other chocolate since, after working with it for so long, it truly stinks to me and I can't stomach it :noway:

    Godiva is definitely great but a little pricy so its a real treat (p.s.) if you sign up for their rewards program you get a free piece every month. No purchase necessary, just go into the boutique and they can scan your card and give you a free piece out of the case. Of course this only works if you live near a store.
    Since Godiva is out of my price range for regular chocolate consumption, I also like dove and a brand I have found @ Aldi called choceur. 5 bars is something like $2 and they are divided like a Hershey's bar into smaller squares 3 squares (1/4 bar) is 55 Cal and 1-3 squares is usually enough to kill a sweets craving. One pack will last me for a month or more, this is my go to chocolate. Its a really smooth Dark chocolate. Not sure what the % cacao is.

    I think a lot of the 'big' names taste a bit cheap (sorry, I know some of you have mentioned Hershey, Lindt, Dove, etc)... but there are some absolutely fantastic imports and smaller brands. The best advice is experiment. My wife and I have a collection of various bars, and rarely end up getting the same bar twice simply because there is so much out there.

    Either Green & Black's or Endangered Species.... both melt in your mouth and go very high in percentage, and the higher the better!

    Lindt 85% or Green & Black's 85%

    Both are GMO free.

    Loves me some GMO free treats.

    Dove, Lindt, Godiva all the slightly higher end ones are good.

    Hersheys, or any of the stuff they use in chocolate bars, yuck.

    Someone turned me onto Green and Black's chocolate. Their dark chocolate peppermint is quite good.

    Chocolove is one of my favorites. They manage to get a really smooth texture out of their dark chocolate bars. And Theo is a pretty amazing brand when it comes to flavor combinations.

    amano chocolate.

    the dos rios is my favorite hands down:
    This is one of the world's most unusual chocolates. It tastes like chocolate mixed with oranges with cinnamon and clove. To make this chocolate, we have not added any fruit or flavorings but have used very unusual cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic. These flavors are the true flavor of the special cocoa beans we used to make this very special chocolate. The flavor of cocoa beans changes depending on where they are from, their genetics, the skill of the farmer and these factors all go into the final flavor of the chocolate. Here, they all come together magically to create one of the world's most unusual and most flavorful chocolates.

    this one work for me even though it's not the fanciest chocolate out there (ie tuescher, debauve&gallais, vosges, etc) but since i dont like truffles or anything with a liquid center, i appreciate how amano does bars

    This is going on my list of bars to try. Thanks for the recommendation!

    A few faves I can get locally are: Tcho (PureNotes Chocolatey), Poco Dolce (Olive Oil Bittersweet), Christopher Elbow (Dark Rocks, Dark Harvest) and Recchiuti (Bittersweet). Oh, and add me to the list of Theo bar fans--I want to try them all.
