I love most bars with sea salt in them. For instance Pacari Raw with sea salt and cacao nibs.

It´s hard to pick just one bar. One of my favorites is Divine 70%. And the reason I would pick this is not only the taste, but also because it´s fairtrade and is not very expensive.

Amedei Chuao, 70%. I rated it 10 out of 10. This bar sets the standard that I measure other bars by.

Here are my notes on the taste:
“Sublime! Complex and multifaceted with 3 or 4 movements. Sweet and Roast. The initial subtle brown sugar/ molasses fades to roast. Middle- a few tangy notes, like mild citrus. Notes of figs, molasses, caramel, and mild nuts.”

If you want a chocolate that will transport you to a whole new realm, one that you may not even know exists, then try this one.

I am embarrassed to say that right now my favorite chocolate bar is Trader Joe’s “The Dark Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Bar” with 85% Cacao. In fact I’m a bit discouraged in doing bean to bar experimentation because this bar from Trader’s just hits the spot for me! It advertises “smooth and fruity from the Tumaco Region of Columbia.” And it doesn’t disappoint. The bitter 85% is the first and last notes but in between is this fruit taste that just balances the experience. Heaven! In fact, I’m going to go indulge right now…

My favorite Chocolate by now is a chocolate from Grenade, Grenade Organic Chocolate, I like its rough texture and bitter flavor, since it is hand made and also organic, I also like the small cacao chips inside, I think it is better than most of some fancy european Chocolates I’ve tried. but still I like Lindt, Tobleronne, Ghirardelli and some other traditional brands.

It depends on what it’s paired with. A dark chocolate between 70 and 80% with a good merlot dessert wine sounds fine to me.

My favorite chocolate can only be found in Belize. It’s Cotton Tree Chocolate. They have a nice factory in the south that you can tour that was voted one of the top 10 things to do in Belize. The chocolate with coffee is really great.

I have been enjoying the CHOCOLOVE line of bars. They have one with Cherries and Dark Chocolate as well as a number of other really fine bars.
Some of the Dagoba are nice as well as the Perugina, although the two are not anything alike.

I wouldn’t call my choices “candy bars”.

Casual – Coppeneur Ocumare 72% Cacao pur
Dark aristocracy – Michel Cluizel 99% Noir Infini
For special occassions – Amedei Porcelana, Pralus Chuao

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!!!!
