Hello friends, Too many heavy discussions going on throughout the Forum, so thought I would ask something light & fun. What is your favorite dark chocolate? Will start with mine: ghiradelli 86% cacao, though I eat it alongwith ghirardelli 72 % so as to beat the extreme bitterness of 86. 72 is too sweet for me & 86 too bitter for me!
Sticking to the dark chocolates that I will reach for during regular grocery runs, once I run out ofcourse, Lindt Lindor Dark Guylian Dark Sea Shells Callebaut Dark 70% - esp for hot choco Ferraro Rocher Dark My list is quiet loooooooong considering I have a biiggg sweet tooth. I prefer picking from specialty chocolatiers store as well. I love the combinations of chocolate with sea salt or with salted caramel. N truffles.. yum!!
the title dark chocolate and here i am pulled in like a magnet. the more bitter the more happy me. i love 85% and recently got a 90% from a chocolate factory, the person sold them only as a special requests..lucky me.. after 8 is a bit sweet but the mint in it definitely edges it into my fav list. patcchi dark bitter my all time favorite lindt with chillies, sea salt, cranberries any combo but 80% and above. godiva too but somehow i dont get them easily. right now have a bag of bitter dark chocolate with a coat of mint.. and mint and chocolate my favorite combinations.
Wow I have not had these & just looked them up. They look pretty good & have awesome reviews Gourmet Chocolate Gift Boxes | Valrhona Chocolate Can you buy these chocolates at a store ? I see they are available on their site & Amazon.
I love the dark chocolate mint combo too. Not a big fan of caramel. Have you had the ghirardelli sea salt soirée? I am a big fan of that too
That’s quite a list Ashneys. I love the Lindt dark chocolate truffles. They are the best truffles in the branded category for sure. Like you I also like to buy from speciality chocolatiers. I also love all kinds of liquor chocolates remember visiting the Ethel’s chocolate factory in Vegas & having many samples & going overboard. Picked up a box of 50 truffles! Lasted for 3 months after the trip.
Shanvy, if you can pull off a 90% cacao , then you are my guru for me 85 is kind of the limit. Anything above ceases to be a chocolate for me not sure if over the years dark chocolate tolerance increases.. we’ll see Yes chocolate +chillies shd be interesting too.
