what is your favorite chocolate combination?

[fizzgig]

peanut butter? mint? caramel? fruit? or are you one of those fuck it, give it to me straight type of folks?

i go between caramel and mint. i love peppermint patties and will make myself sick eating them. but caramel....oh caramel. there was a whole chocolate caramel bar in the cabinet when i got home, now there's only half of one and it may very well be gone by the time i go to bed.

wish i could post this as a poll.

1. perermint pattys make life worth living

peanut butter and chocolate = must have milk -okay a cup of coffee will do too. Of all the evil miserable things humans have devised
chocolate sure isn't one of them .


chocolate and some brandy =YES

[fizzgig]

2. chocolate and peanut butter definitely calls for milk

thank the gods for chocolate

[HarveyDarkey]

3. Some nice bittersweet bakers chocolate

Forget that sweet crap.

[fizzgig]

7. i used to eat my mom's baking chocolate when i was a kid

lost my taste for it as i got older

[fishwax]

4. hot pepper and pop rocks

There is a chocolatier in San Diego, Chuao, which has a bar they call the firecracker. It's dark chocolate, chipotle pepper, sea salt, and pop rocks. That's probably my favorite combination. I also like dark chocolate with just cayenne pepper.

Those are my favorite combinations for savoring. For gorging, my favorite combination is peanut butter. I like pepper mint patties, too--I like putting them in the freezer; they're great cold. (I do this with mini reese's too.)

I really wish I had some chocolate right now

[fizzgig]

8. that chocolate bar sounds incredible

i love chocolate and chili, too

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. chocolate is like bacon, they make everything more better.

[fizzgig]

9. i've had bacon chocolate bars before

yum yum yum

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. YES! HELL. Fucking. YES!

Same chocolatier as the pop-rocks one, I think.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

[Locut0s]

18. You might want to try Bacon Vodka before making that statement...

[Dash87]

37. I must be the only one in the world that is indifferent to bacon.

I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't care if I never had it again.

[u4ic]

6. Salted Caramel, Mint, and

my favourite chocolatier has a new one out that I absolutely fell in love with, Honey Anise. Made with the most delectable Belgian milk chocolate.

I also used to buy a milk chocolate lavender bar which was tasty, but I can't find it anymore.

I worship at the throne of whoever put sea salt, caramel and chocolate together. I am forever indebted.

Oops, almost forgot Sweet Georgia Browns from Purdy's. A few rungs up the steps from a Turtle, plus 3x the amount of caramel.

[fizzgig]

11. now i want to just gorge myself with chocolate

and i just spied an almond and sea salt chocolate bar i'd forgotten we had

[Initech]

10. This

[fizzgig]

14. ha!

and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[NuclearDem]

12. Endangered Species bars with a cup of almond milk.

Coated in peanut butter, of course.

[fizzgig]

15. i like that brand

i usually just buy whatever's on sale.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. Chocolate and raspberry -- yesterday chocolate ice cream topped...

.
.
.
... with chocolate sauce and raspberry syrup (just good ol' pancake syrup and
it was GREAT), though I didn't realize that I had forgotten the whipped cream
until today .
.
.
.

[fizzgig]

16. that sounds so tasty

but sadness about the whipped cream

[magical thyme]

29. you'd better go have that whipped cream right now...

pour some chocolate sauce on it, to make it feel better.

[Locut0s]

17. Nuts, nuts, nuts. OMG Chocolate and nuts are like my cocaine...

Om nom nom!!!

[hobbit709]

19. Belgian Chocolate is the only kind.

[2theleft]

20. Fran's Salted Caramel

Heaven. Both the dark and milk varieties. My favorite part of work trips to Seattle - going to Fran's to sample and then buy chocolates

[ConcernedCanuk]

21. I've heard it said some women prefer chocolate to sex.

.
.
.

SO

I combine the two . . . .

[RebelOne]

22. Good old chocolate fudge sundae with whipped cream. No nuts or caramel. n/t

[pipi_k]

23. Chocolate on

whole roasted cashew nuts.

Chocolate and coffee


White cake with chocolate frosting

[Iggo]

24. Cake and ice cream.

[Raffi Ella]

28. I love that combo too.

Ice cream somehow makes frosting even sweeter. Yum.

[noamnety]

25. peppermint patties are up there, but

possibly a little above that is wine filled chocolates:

Use a chocolate mold, brush thickly with melted chocolate, freeze til hard. Fill with wine (a syringe like you would use to feed a baby animal works will). Freeze til hard again. Top with chocolate, freeze again, pop out of mold. When it gets off frozen temps, you have a liquid wine center.

Chocolate dipped strawberries (allowed to harden) are pretty good.

[KeepItReal]

26. Chocolate and almonds

Hershey's Nuggets...

[Raffi Ella]

27. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

Or chocolate ice cream with a scoop of peanut butter.

[forestpath]

30. While I love both caramel and mint, I'd pass over both of them for maple.

[elleng]

32. Dark, w raspberries or mint!

[rurallib]

33. semi-sweet and cherries.

[femmocrat]

34. Dark chocolate and coconut.

Am I the only coco-nut here?

[tandot]

36. I love Lindt white chocolate with coconut

Also, Rocher Raffaello - Almond Coconut Treat ... YUMMY

[tandot]

35. I love chocolate and caramel, but white chocolate with coconut is my 2nd favorite

it is from Lindt

[BainsBane]

38. chocolate and orange

I love it.

[elleng]

43. YES!!!

[BainsBane]

44. Jaffa Cakes too

[elleng]

45. Something to look into!!!

Thanks!

[BainsBane]

46. This is how you often see them in the US

[elleng]

47. Oh yes, often in grocery store!

[eppur_se_muova]

52. Your pic isn't showing up ...

(and I must know!)

[BainsBane]

53. Pims

by the LU brand.

[eppur_se_muova]

55. Thanks! nt

[BainsBane]

39. Oh, and all chocolate requires coffee as an accompaniment.

[AsahinaKimi]

40. If I had my choice...

I would rather just have the Caramel.

[Agschmid]

41. Mint Oreo chocolate....

There used to be a Hershey bar in that flavor... Not anymore.

[PasadenaTrudy]

42. Trader Joe's dark choc. peanut butter cups n/t

[denbot]

48. German chocolate cake, with French vanilla ice cream..

If I wasn't so damn full right now this thread would have propelled me to the store.

[DFW]

49. Dark (min. 70% pure) with a hint of orange

I am stationed in Europe with frequent stops in Belgium, France and Germany.

In other words, I have it better than Willie Wonka as far as chocolate goes.

[LWolf]

50. favorite?

I don't do favorites. There are too many to like.

Chocolate and almost anything.

[HarveyDarkey]

51. Chocolate covered bacon on a stick

[LadyHawkAZ]

54. Girl Scout mints, or See's candy

I'm not a huge chocolate fan.

[eppur_se_muova]

56. Dark chocolate with milk chocolate -- no adulterating substances, thank you !

[applegrove]

57. For my birthday someone made a

dessert that consisted of a chocolate cake base, covered in whipped cream, covered in marzipan, covered in homemade caramel. That is my favourite dish right now. I got the recipe and will keep it in case I ever get back into baking.

[Chan790]

58. Chocolate and espresso.

Chocolate-covered espresso beans are a torture instrument. They're yummy, you can't eat just one, and 4 are sufficient to insure you're wired.

[Bertha Venation]

59. chocolate and orange

Milk chocolate preferable. I love it when those chocolate oranges come out during the holidays.

[Myrina]

60. Chocolate and Raspberry. And Mild chile pepper. And Peanut Butter. And Almonds.

Notsomuch a fan of chocolate and caramel, mashmallow or sea salt, though.
