    Dark chocolate is my go-to. 85%+. Delicious! I like a variety of brands because they all taste differently. And I am fickle, my favorite keeps changing. It tends to be whichever one I am eating currently!

    Oh Cayu, it’s the darker the better for me. You are right, there are so many. I am always open to trying a new candidate.

    One of the pleasures of life. That and a good cup of coffee.

    Remember, a balanced diet is a piece of chocolate in each hand.

    Too right, Jane. You are spot on there.

    Mart, bourbon is nice, but "any port in a storm" and a nice glass of port with chocolate will let you ignore any storm!

    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy chocolate, and that's kind of the same thing.

    Mart, if you have a bottle of bourbon in one hand ans choccy in the other, you fall over cuz you’d be unbalanced. Of course there are a number of things that could make you loose your balance and fall over...djyahknow waddahmean?

    I used to love a special brand of milk chocolate. Then the manufacturer was sold to a foreign company, they changed the recipe slightly, and it didn't taste the same. Luckily one of the competitors started to make their own type of milk chocolate. This one is now my favourite milk chocolate type. As for dark chocolate I'll take whatever is offered. I love it, and can't stop eating until all of it is gone. Is it good for me? Absolutely not! Do I care? Absolutely not! I don't indulge every week, mind, but perhaps as often as once per month if I feel like it. In my head I make up for it by having sushi for lunch quite often. I don't though, do I, but please let me live in my make-believe bubble and enjoy my chocolate in peace.

    Cadburys was taken over by a American company and not the same now.
    Dark chocolate is good for you in moderation.
