Poll of the utmost importance.

[Laura K (NC)]

My dh says Hershey is the best. I think he's wrong. What say ye?

[clwcain]

Compared to what? :D

[PrairieAir]

I voted Dove, but I've never had Godiva and I've only had Ghiardelli chocolate chips.

[Jenn in Mo]

Scharffen Berger.....mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Dark Chocolate (62% cacao) with roasted cacao nibs embedded in the chocolate bar.

 

*sigh*

[Aubrey]

Hmmm...I honestly don't know. Now as a good hs'er, that requires further investigation, don't you think?

[hsmamainva]

Another Dove vote here!! That's my *favorite* chocolate!!! It melts in your mouth! Yummmm..... :drool:

[clwcain]

Of the options provided, and widely available, I vote Ghirardelli.

 

But all of my favorite chocolates are handmade locally to where I buy them. I'm not sure if any of them can be bought over teh Intarwebz. ;)

[Carrie12345]

Hershey is good... in the way that hot dogs are good. I'll eat and enjoy hot dogs at a barbecue, but I don't expect to see them on the menu at Chez Really Good Food.

[asta]

Belgian.

 

Brand doesn't really matter, as the standards are set nationally.

I like Toblerone.

[elegantlion]

I voted other. I love whatever is in the house. AT this moment there is none. We have water and power of which I am very thankful, but I am out of CHOCOLATE, UGH!

[beansprouts]

None of the above. The best chocolate in my area is Munson's, but I can only afford it as a rare treat. My typical indulgence is the Lindor truffles.

 

Hershey's and Nestle's would fall at the bottom of the list, but in a time of desperation I wouldn't turn them down.

[Greta]

I voted "other" for Neuhaus. I've only had Neuhaus truffles once in my life, but let me assure you it was a memorable experience. :Angel_anim: Heavenly!

[kat19]

I'm a Hershey gal

[Krista in LA]

We love Lindor here, but when it comes down to it, we'll eat whatever's available! I like Ghiradhelli (or however you spell it) and Dove a lot too. Or Hershey's.

:iagree::iagree:

 

Of the listed, I chose Dove, I love the milk chocolate promises, they really do melt in my mouth. I love See's truffles, though. Don't care for Godiva - at all - I'm wondering if the 2 times I've tried it if they were bad, though. It was really not good.

[Tracey in TX]

DH needs to refine his palate! Hersey is the bottom of the chocolate barrel!

[Unicorn.]

I voted Dove- for straight eating. For chocolate milk-nestle's quick. For hot cocoa- hershey's. Ice cream- Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate, for..... (Oh, that was more than you wanted to know wasn't it. Sorry, I'm in need of chocolate right now, any chocolate)

[mommylawyer]

Lindt. (Although, almost any truffle with a gooey center will get my vote.)

 

However, for an inexpensive chocolate, Hershey's is definitely VERY good.

[nmoira]

Of the somewhat reasonably priced bars, Green & Black's.

[Jennifer3141]

Hershey's is ok. there's an awful lot of stuff that isn't really candy in there, hence the kind of artifical taste.

 

But the best chocolates I've had have been in a Belgian chocolate shoppe on a vacation. DH and I joke about going back there just long enough to restock and then come home.

 

Godiva used to be a great way to spoil myself but I think their truffles have started tasting different. They might be playing with the recipe to help cut costs.

[Mrs Mungo]

I have to agree that Belgian chocolate is the best but German chocolates are pretty good too. That's one of the things I definitely miss about living in Europe.

[Elm in NJ]

I have never gotten use to American chocolate. I only eat Cadbury's Dairy Milk or Galaxy or Aero. I use to get these online from a British store but we just buy ( a lot) them now when we go on vacation, or I ask a relative coming over here to bring some for me. I try to get a big box of Quality Streets sent over every Christmas though.

 

My kids unfortuately have also developed this trait even though they will eat Hershey's once in a while.

[Doran]

Dagoba

Scharffen Berger (sp?)

Theo

Lindt

 

Just don't bother me with anything less than 70% cacao. :drool5:

[KidsHappen]

Lindt. (Although, almost any truffle with a gooey center will get my vote.)

Yes! I was just getting ready to post the same thing. I absolutely love the dark chocolate ones.

[Brindee]

Well, I don't DIE for chocolate, so I'm not a chocolatier. However, I LOVE the Hershey's Peanutbutter Cups, and the Hershey's Hot Fudge topping (for ice cream) in a jar, so I had to go with Hershey's, since that's all I ever eat. Don't strike me from the board here, but I don't like M&M's either, or most chocolate candies. I was in college before I learned to like dessert of any kind. Yeah, I know, I'm strange.....my brother and sister told me I was an adopted alien, cuz nobody from "the real world" could NOT like desserts! ;) So there you have it---my life history. Guess it's not good enough to write a book....unless sthat's what I just did! :D

[mazakaal]

Thornton's. I don't know if it's available in the US, but it is, hands down, the best chocolate I've ever had.

[BritAnnia]

I voted Other. European chocolate like Belgian or Swiss is the most delicious. Hershey's is just at the bottom of my list. It's too waxy and leaves a bad aftertaste in the back of my throat. I'd rather eat any of the UK brands of cheap chocolate than Hershey's.

Dh eats far more chocolate than I do... lets just say it's a daily thing for him ;p and we can't afford European, sadly, so he goes with Dove or Ghiradelli unless gifted with something better.

[BritAnnia]

Have you been to World Market, they sell that stuff. YUMMY! :)

[RoughCollie]

I don't like American chocolate, especially milk chocolate. I eat European chocolates, but not very often. I've never turned down a box of Godiva, either.

 

My mom is German, we lived in Germany for 5 years when I was growing up, and my taste in chocolates was molded by her. Except she cannot resist *any* chocolate, and in great quantities, too. She and DH are the only chocoholics in the family.

 

I stick with bittersweet, and my favorite is chocolate-covered marzipan.

 

The kids & DH like American chocolate only. I guess the European kind isn't sweet enough for them, which is a shame because I buy those cutely wrapped German Christmas chocolates for their stockings, and then I have to eat them all by myself. :D

 

Oh, wait -- I do like Hershey's chocolate syrup on ice-cream sometimes, but the syrup must be the canned kind. To me, the syrup in the plastic bottles tastes different and I don't like it.

[TXMomof4]

Chocolove dark chocolate with crystallized ginger.

 

Heaven!

 

But I do love Godiva, just not as much. What I *really* love is Godiva coffee.

[Desert Rat]

Cadbury. Particularly British Cadbury.

[RebeccaS]

Cadbury. Particularly British Cadbury.

:iagree:

[LaMere Academy]

Lindt is my fav. so far out of all I've tried.

[senunk]

I voted other. I eat Green & Blacks or Dagoba.

 

I think I'll go eat some right now...

[BizyPenguin]

It's Sees!!

[nmoira]

Cadbury. Particularly British Cadbury.

I do like a Flake now an then. Unfortunately, I can't find them in town.

[Matryoshka]

Swiss chocolate - Lindt (they make a lot more than Lindor balls, and lots of the best stuff isn't even imported here, like the liqueur filled ones), and lately I've been addicted to Villar's 72% dark (thank you TJ's!)

 

American chocolate and Nestlé (technicallly Swiss, but yuk) are not worthy of the calories, imho. :D

[Zelda]

Scharffen Berger.....mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

 

 

:iagree:

[ncmomo3]

This is the first time I have ever had to pick 'other'. TOBLERONE!!! That wonderful triangular cocoa delight is heaven.

[Melissa in Australia]

Any chocolate from Europe is good

[cin]

I voted other. I REALLY like Guittard chocolates. I use them for candy making and I do believe I've eaten a half pound of discs in the past 3 days. YUM!

[Maria from IN]

Dove.

 

Dark.

 

Definitely.

 

No allergens, and nothing that gives me heartburn--like Hershey's always does.

 

Your dh is mistaken. I recommend a world tour to research and cure this particular malady of his.

 

;)

[Kari C in SC]

I chose Dove, but the truth is I will eat just about any chocolate as long as it is not white chocolate. I also have to say I love Ghiardelli's hot fudge at their ice cream stores. There is also the Target Choxie brand that is pretty good. Then there is Russell Stover's and Fannie Mae. All good. Now I want some chocolate!

[Narnian]

Sorry, but no. Hershey's chocolate is not the best. And I speak with authority on this -- I used to live (somewhat) near Hershey, PA, and worked for a company that used Hershey candy bars, and even have a Hershey t-shirt (from Hershey, PA.) ;)

 

I like Dove, and unfortunately, I'm out. My husband is going to thank you for this poll when I call him in about five minutes and ask him to pick up a bag of Dove dark chocolate for me on his way home from work tonight. :D

[RenayofRohan]

I like Godiva and Ghiardelli. I can't handle this thread. I'm getting off. :001_unsure: I have no chocolate in the house!!! :crying:

[Mom to Aly]

You forgot Lindt--it's my fave, at least in this country, that or Guylian--although almost anything in France is better, even what they sell in the grocery store!

[ummix3]

I like Cadbury (sp?) especially the one with the raisins and nuts. It is quite sweet and rich though. If we were talking about mainstream I think I like nestle more than hershey, for example: I think Nestle's Crunch tastes much better than Hershey's Krackle.
