What's your favorite type of chocolate?

Doc Al

Dark chocolate for sure. 85% or higher.

I don't like chocolate that isn't mixed with peanut butter in some way.

White chocolate is an oxymoron.

Illuminerdi

White chocolate is cocoa butter without cocoa powder. It's actually the least healthy, since it's mostly fat.

My tastebuds for sweet things are overly sensitive. I can eat baking chocolate just fine. I prefer 89% chocolate. 71 is the lowest i'll go, unless it's very special chocolate (salted almonds in 55% is a good treat, but I wish the brand would make the same with 75%)

Is that Ghirardelli? They have an 'intense dark sea salt soiree' that's pretty tasty.

mishrashubham

Yep dark chocolate although I like anything between 44% to 85%.

Doc Al

Eating some dark right now. 85%.

Gad

Same here, except it's 91%.

Doc Al

Oh baby!

When it's time for our neighbors' grand-daughter's birth-day my wife will always make up a big fruit-platter for the kids, including a bunch of of strawberries dipped in Ghirardelli chocolate, rolled in crushed nuts and frozen. Those don't last long.

You can make the berries disappear as quickly with the parents by using the melted chocolate and a final dip of sour cream, but the kids LOVE the crushed nuts, frozen. I can't blame them. I have to stay away when my wife is making them.

Dark chocolate?

turbo

Yes. The chocolate is very dark. The kids love those dipped berries with crushed nuts. My wife uses chocolate chunks and melts them in the microwave, then dips the strawberries in the melted chocolate and rolls them in the nuts (chopped walnuts and pecans) before spreading those on a tray to hit the freezer. Kids who are "in the know" make those disappear in short order.

Yumm.

My favorite range for dark is 65-75%, but enjoy up to 85 as well as much lower.

White 100%

Evo

That's not even chocolate, it's flavorless fat.

PAllen

It's Jimmy Snyder. Look at his sig. Anyway, it isn't normally completely flavorless - a tiny bit of the chocolate flavor usually survives, at least with old fashioned production methods.

Cocoa butter smells so chocolatey!!! Take a bite and you'll spit it out.
