I know a lot of people who use that crap. In the form of Wilson candy melts. Yes it melts easily, can be tinted and is easy to work with, but the taste and texture are icky. I only use the real stuff when I make chocolates. Harder to deal with but the end results are worth it! |

A large part of a chocolate's YUM factor is from the fat used in the chocolate. Pure real chocolate has 100% cocoa fat which is particularly hard to work with. Thus many use non-cocoa oils to obtain better handling results. At the sacrifice of the YUM factor! I've learned a LOT in my 30+ years of making Christmas Candy! John Kuthe... |

They can easily tell the difference between good and bad. Whatever chocolate they try and tastes good to them is *good* chocolate. No need to judge others like a gourmet chocolate person with your nose up in the air because they like lesser than you. Same with the "cool kid" wine drinkers. |

I'm a little funny about chocolate. "Good" milk chocolate doesn't taste right to me. I prefer Hershey's, with that slight "sour milk" taste. However, Hershey's Special Dark is too waxy, and really dark chocolates are too biotter. I prefer a semisweet, so I buy Lindt "bittersweet". I guess I have hopelessly middlebrow taste in chocolate.

You're right, Gary. Chocolate snobs are as bad as wine snobs. What constitutes "good"? In whose opinion is one chocolate better than another? It's all a matter of personal taste. I don't happen to like dark chocolate. Doesn't matter what brand or the cost, it's too bitter. Yet it's de rigueur (sp?) in some circles. I don't really care. I like milk chocolate. I like semi-sweet chocolate. I like what used to be (the formula has probably changed) Baker's German Sweet chocolate. White chocolate is boring. IMHO, according to my taste buds. No expert opinions required. Jill |

The French say their chocolate is the best. The Italians say their chocolate is the best. The Belgians say their chocolate is the best. The Swiss say their chocolate is the best. But they all agree that British chocolate is terrible, which it isn't! Also, snobs say that the white variety isn't chocolate. Screw them! |

Weve made a Toffee + Sea Salt bar thats so addictively good you might not be able to put it down. Until its too late. Organic toffee with extra butter is blended into our 53% organic and fair trade milk chocolate, then sprinkled with a dash of Pacific sea salt. The result is a luscious dark milk chocolate bar defined by rich caramel notes, heightened by sea salt, and intensified with a toffee crunch. Organic and Fair Trade Certified. So good... And...I found it at...wait for it...Wal Mart! |
