What are the best brands of chocolates? Do most people like dark (>70%) or mild chocolate?

[Anonymous No.11331156]

Chocolate is for little kids lmao

I like 70%, bitterness is good.

[Anonymous No.11331159]

70% is fine.

Whittaker's is best but they don't sell the blocks in supermarkets anymore, shits not cash.

Depends where you live I guess. Anything Swiss is good; mountain Jews know chocolate. Lindt and Ritter Sport are some of my favourites

Being a slavshit i love the kind of chocolate they have in eastern europe. Anything euro is generally better chocolate than most everything the us has to offer.

Seriously hersheys "chocolate" is fucking disgusting

I do enjoy Lindt with orange peel when I can find it. Otherwise Godiva or Ghirardelli seem pretty common
>Seriously hersheys "chocolate" is fucking disgusting
Now that stuff is garbage for kids, it's HFCS, soy, whey and "cocoa powder".

[Anonymous No.11331280]

Assuming it isn't from a local chocolate shop, Ghirardelli is my go-to.

>What are the best brands of chocolates?
The best bulk overture is Valrhona so I've heard, but it's so expensive I've never tried it.

More affordable and obtainable brands include Callebaut, Ghirardelli, Godiva, Green & Blacks's, & Endangered Species.

I've read Dove & Lindt are the best milk-chocolate varieties.

We don't like it. Hersheys just exists as a cheap option. It's pretty much universally acknowledged that it isn't a quality item

[Anonymous No.11332332]

My favorite brand is Dandelion Chocolate. All their bars are only cacao (70+%) and sugar, nothing else. It's pretty delicious, you can really taste the differences between, say, Venezuelan cacao and Madagascar cacao. It's the kind of chocolate you enjoy with some espresso or a red wine.

From fucking where lad? Coles + Woolies in my area no longer stock it. They got replaced by Homebrands/Big Chocolate products

Best chocolate I've had so far was Zotter.

I like your picks, but don't forget this one.

I tried a Valrhona dark chocolate bar and it wasn't anything special.

[Anonymous No.11332421]

I forget about S.Berger because it isn't widely stocked locally.

Hershey's is the most repulsive and sickness inducing sewage sludge I ever had the displeasure of eating. It literally tastes like vomit because of the butyric acid used during the production. I am genuinely baffled that anyone would pay money to eat it.

Hershey's chocolate literally tastes like vomit. The only reason murricans cant taste it is because lardmoms force their kids to eat it from toddlerhood so they are desentisized to the taste.

Hershey chocolate not only saved the world in WW2 but it's the best seller in the world because it's the best tasting and offered at a fair price thanks to capitalism. It is for these reasons subhumans non Americans hate it. Jealousy and resentment

[Anonymous No.11334949]

Hershey's is popular because people see the price of good chocolate and run back to their dollar-a-bar garbage that they were raised on because their parents didn't know better. It's conditioning since WW2.

I like chocolate until 80%, haven't tried higher. 75% are also good too.

[Anonymous No.11336794]

>>11336646
Ok thanks. I seem to remember Harris Farm stock some flavours too, but neither HF or IGA are in my immediate local area.

Anyone else a fan of chili-chocolate? I like the unconventional combination of tastes.

[Anonymous No.11338078]

Lindt and Cadbury

[Anonymous No.11338097]

Above 85% it starts to become more of a savoury taste, I like to enjoy the real dark stuff with nuts like almond and brasilnut and fresh berries like blueberry and raspberry. Normies recoil in horror when I tell them I like high%dark. Fuckin plebs

[Anonymous No.11338109]

The OG Swiss-made Lindt bars are great, but usually they're either not sold in the supermarket or sold among the shit-tier US-made ones that taste like garbage clay.
