I'm eating some 86% coca content dark chocolate.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Damned good stuff. Mighty fine.

A real pity it cost me almost five bucks for one bar... :cry:

1. That's a bit more bitter than I prefer.

I like 65% to 75% dark. :9

I'm sorry it's so expensive. :(
But really good chocolate is definitely worth it.

4. It's not at all bitter.

At least to me...

2. Does it have cocoa bits too?

That's some strong chocolate. Can't eat that too close to bed time or I can't sleep.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. No cocoa bits.

A pity.

6. I shop at Whole Foods

and yes, I know a lot of people diss them because their prices are high. Quality does sometimes come with a higher pricetag. I don't buy all of my food from there, just most of it, such as high-quality chocolates :)

That said, I have been re-introduced to high-cocoa chocolate like the 86% you bought. I haven't gone above 85%, but was amazed that the two brands I've had were more than just palatable, but downright delicious. I can't remember the one my sister gifted to me at Xmas, but I did buy a bar of Vivani recently and will certainly be back for more! :D

It's organic, too, and cost less than three dollars, at Whole Foods, no less!

...looked on the site; here's the bar I bought: Organic Dark Chocolate (100 g) – 85 % cocoa (minimum)...

7. the Easter candy I got at Whole Foods for my son was AMAZING

I was astonished at the taste - highly complex, rich flavors.


:wow:

8. They do have some good brands and variety that you won't get anywhere else.

I found a ricemilk chocolate there that is also delicious. I try to avoid dairy-milk chocolate when I can, partly because the manufactures of it tend to "water down" the amount of milk in it. A good quality milk chocolate I've had, though, is a French brand, Valrhona. Although I ordered the King Arthur Flour brand milk choco in bulk last Xmas for making truffles and it was very tasty, too :)

For what you get and for the variety, I think you'll find that WF has a better choice and a better price, once you're done shopping all over and back again ;)

What was the Easter candy you bought, by the way? I don't buy that kind of thing normally, so I'm curious what WF would have offered that way...

9. I'll have to look and see

:hi:

10. Try making a milkshake with pure cocoa (about a tbsp), milk and

some sugar twin. Really good but you have to drink it fast because the cocoa tends to float to the top. I have it all the time. Sometimes it is "dinner".

11. Why do so many people love chocolate?

Seriously, I've always wondered. I think it tastes yucky. :)
