For everyday, Hershey's special dark works for me. Oh, M&M's come in dark chocolate also. Yummy!
It's so much better for you than milk chocolate or white chocolate. JMO.

I mean no offense. There are bottles of extraordinary booze out there. I've tasted a few. Relax.

You got a problem with that?

(Imagine a chocoalte bar with the flavor of Nutella)
I also enjoy belgian chocolates and Cadbury -Mini- Cream Eggs on rare occasions
Dark Chocolate-I have to be in the mood for it.
White chocolate- Good in small portions.
However, more than a few bites of Milk or Dark chocolate make me feel icky.
Good thing that I prefer uber-sugary candies...
(ie-See's Scotch Kisses: butterscotch-drenched marshmallows!)
But what is my favorite?
White Chocoalte fondue with Amaretto in it...
*drool*

Easy: the Hershery's is the one that smells like vomit. Seriously. Smell it.... I can't tell the difference between Belgian and Hersey's.
I'm a milk chocolate kind of guy usually. Godiva, Lindt, Michel Cluizel, Venchi, Scharffen Berger, even Cadbury.

The smell of vomit properly belongs with cheese, not chocolate. And it is appropriate and good.
Damn, now where am I going to find a Hershey bar to sniff?

Cadbury's milk chocolate rules. Which reminds me, I still need to write a letter to the powers that be at Cadbury's, to make a complaint about them having changed the colour of the wrapper from gold to silver. But their chocolate still rules.

Ghirardelli used to make an awesome orange creme filled thin chocolate square. I know someone who's wife works for the company and he told me that they discontinued it. :(
I've never smelled a nasty Hershey before.

They have a range of 'Origins' chocolates which are small batch bars that are made with only one type of cocoa bean. They really give you an amazing look at the difference in flavors between the beans from different areas.
I tried to link the exact page, but it's all flash, I think. Either way, go to the site, click on products (on the left hand side of the page), scroll down, and select the Single Origin Bars. I suggest buying a "Chocolate Paradise", which is a sampler of all 6 single origins: Venezuela, Ecuador, Madagascar, Dom. Rep., Papua New Guinnea and Ivory Coast. Just fantastic stuff.
And no, I don't work for them.

A friend of mine found Lindt's 99% in Germany, I've yet to find it locally.
I've got a 45 oz bag (yup, 1.275Kg) of M&M peanut candies in a drawer at work for emergencies.
Chocolate? na...

CADBURY'S!!!!!
Cadbury's milk chocolate rules. Which reminds me, I still need to write a letter to the powers that be at Cadbury's, to make a complaint about them having changed the colour of the wrapper from gold to silver. But their chocolate still rules.
All the Cadbury bars I can find in this area are made in Hershey, PA, by Hershey's. Are you able to get authentic english Cadbury?
I tend to like a few of the the Lu-Pim little schoolboy biscuits with the dark chocolate on top (45%) at night, and they do go wonderfully with a strong absinthe like the Duplais verte, Jade E72 or even the Ike. The 70% cocoa biscuits have a deep intense almost smoky flavor that I crave at times.

That's a pretty hefty one - I bought a 50gr bar maybe a month ago and still have some squares left over. It's a quite extreme experience of taste...

What do the percentages mean?
Percentage of pure cacao in the chocolate mixture. Dark chocolate has a higher cacao content than milk chocolate does, which gives it a more intense taste, but less sweetness than milk chocolate. People's taste in chocolate tends to change as they grow older, from milk chocolate when younger to darker chocolates as you grow older. That's a generalisation, but backed up by studies. More people prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate, but dark has been making inroads in recent years.
