Some dark chocolates are better for you than others. The higher the percentage the better. What kind of dark chocolate is your favorite? I like Ghirardelli's 60%. :smile:

    I like Dove because of the smooth consistency. I'm not picky with the percentage of my dark chocolate.

    I like Lindt's 70%. It only takes a small amount for my craving to go away. :)

    I love dark chocolate but once made the mistake of buying the midnight kind (85% I believe). Couldn't finish a single piece. At that point, I'd rather eat coffee beans.

    My favorite is Dove dark chocolate promises with caramel and sea salt.
    I am currently working on a bag of Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt.
    Love the sweet salty combo.
    1 piece as a treat at the end of the day for staying within my calories.

    The kind with chili peppers or oranges in them. Lindt does good bars like that. Mmmmm

    I get the acai from Brookside and seen goji from them, too.

    I stick with 70%-75% from Lindt and President's Choice (the big bars) and sometimes stuff from the Dollarama. I tried 85% from Lindt and it's too dry/bitter for me. Worked well when I made Nutella-chocolate cookies out of it.

    Ghirardelli 72% and Lindt 70% work for me. I don't enjoy the bitterness of 80% +, but I find 60% or less too sweet now that I'm used to the darker chocolate.

    I actually hate dark chocolate.

    Fattening milk and white chocolate for me :heart:

    I bake with Ghirardelli most of the time, but for just eating, I love Green & Black's 70%. Scharffen Berger is also good.

    Anyone like kind of weird flavors? I love the Vosges Naga bar, which has curry in it. So good. Also, expensive, so it's a splurge when I buy it. http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/naga_exotic_candy_bar/cooling-materials

    I would have taken these off your hands! The darker the better for me. Let one melt on my tongue and follow it with a nice Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Now THAT is a treat!

    Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Lover's 85% bar - sweeter and nuttier than the bitter Lindt 85% bar! Yum!!!

    I think 73% is my max, lol. I love the 100 calorie bars from Trader Joe's.

    I tried 96 or 99% once... Ugh.

    I thought 73% was my max too! But I was surprised at the Trader Joe's 85%, it's MUCH better than any others with that high percentage!
