One of the neat things about a blog is that it can be interactive. People can make comments to articles; asking questions, expanding on the information provided, or taking the thoughts in another direction. This helps to enrich the value of the blog for all readers.
To help you get some practice responding to blog articles, I have posted this simple question: What is Your Favorite Chocolate Bar?
Go ahead and comment below! Tell us what chocolate you like best and, if you’re up to it, tell us why. Let’s get some discussion going on this. (Please note that your comment will not appear instantly. To manage blog-spam all comments are held in a queue for approval.)
I’ll even start the discussion…
My favorite chocolate bar comes from Lindt. I prefer dark chocolate over milk chocolate so the Lindt Excellence 70% Cocoa Bar is my bar of choice. Sometimes I like even more intense chocolate flavor so the Lindt Excellence 85% Cocoa Bar wins out. Both are really smooth chocolates with great flavor. The 85% is not as sweet (therefore more bitter) than the 70%, but sometimes it’s just the flavor I’m looking for.
Generally, if I’m going out to buy some chocolate one of these two bars wins out.
Now it’s your turn. What’s your favorite candy bar? Maybe it’s the one you would eat every day if you could. Maybe it’s something you remember from your childhood. Come on share your perspective…
Perhaps my chocolate palate is not as educated as my coffee palate, but nothing hits the spot for me like a good Hershey’s with almonds (Of course) or my hallmark brand … Ghirardelli — nuts or not — love that San Francisco chocolate!
Either of these two bars are perfect with our L’Chaim! blend, our highly acclaimed, masterfully crafted best seller. Comprised of limited quantity premium grade Arabica beans, our customers enjoy its full-bodied, earthy, rich flavor with a smooth finish.

There is a German company that makes customized chocolates. On their German website chocri.de it is possible to choose a base and then add all kinds of ingredients to make a very personal chocolate bar.
I just discovered milk chocolate with strawberries, roasted almonds and candied rose petals for me. mmmmh.
I heard that they are expanding to the US in January: http://www.createmychocolate.com and people can still vote on the website to decide which ingredients will actually be used on the American website. I think it is a really cool idea.

My favorite is no longer the Kit Kat from my childhood now that I’ve completed CUO. After tasting so many delicious gourmet bars it’s difficult to pick a favorite. Right now, although I’m usually a fan of dark chocolate, I guess I’ll vote for Organic Masala Chai by The Tea Room. (Only 38% cacao.)

I find that I can be a Snob when it comes to chocolate! If I open the bar and the first sent I get is raisin (though I hate raisins, crazy I know)then it will get eaten (with gusto) by me. If I get a burnt milk smell (sorry Hershey’s) then I might eat it if there is nothing else. But please don’t ask me to eat that cheap foil wrapped bunny shaped stuff….all I can taste is the wax, yuck!!!!

Dark aristocracy – Michel Cluizel 99% Noir Infini
For special occassions – Amedei Porcelana, Pralus Chuao
