Chocolate!!!
Let's give thanks to Quetzalcoatl
For the gift of Xocolatl
By the box or by the bottle
And it's good enough for me!
We have a three-page and growing discussion on Steak, let's give the blessing of Theobroma cacao a whirl.

I admit to being a bit of a gianduja fan myself. There's just no going back once you've tasted that sweetness
They conch the chocolate for 72 hours straight! Conching breaks down the chocolate and hazelnut particles; the smaller the particles, the smoother it is. By the time they pour it off into molds those particles can only be seen under the microscope. It melts if you look at it and if you put it in your mouth it flows down your throat like milk. No chewing necessary
As a side-question: What's everyone's favourite brands?
Myself, in no particular order:
Hershey's, Cacao Barry, Felchlin, El Rey, Vintage Hawai'ian, Valrhona, Guittard.
Yes, I said Hershey's They just bought Scharffen Berger and they're letting them do chocolate the way they've always done, plus Scharffen Berger's additions to the process can only improve Hershey's product.

lol, that's true, all the major brands have their perks.
Though most of the cheap holiday candy is just a travesty.
I did remember one though! Even though they're mild chocolate, I absolutely die over the hard shell Cadbury eggs! (not the cream filled ones, they're good too, 1 is enough to last me all year)
I always have to stock up on those little shell ones every Easter!
