Prefer the white ones, rafaello or however you spell them.
Lindt balls are also pretty good

As far as recipe's or desserts, can't go past a molten lava cake
 
Plain old Cadbury bar for me
and Flake
and Lindt shells
and aero bars
and chock wedges
and chock paddle pops
and chock Easter eggs
 
The Aldi brand choc block tastes pretty good. Prolly not much actual choc in it though.

White lindt balls = best
Kinder surprise are good but not enough, other then that mostly cadbury.
 
Heard on the news that the cocoa bean is getting harder to find and in future will eventually run out.
WTF? Can't they cultivate the shit?
What are they on about? I thought it grew on plantations.
 
there is a cacao bean bank. it won't become extinct due to a lack of the ability to cultivate.

although, changes to climate and extreme weather events will impact crops more often and therefore supply.
most companies also stockpile beans because of the delicate nature of growing cacao.

Cacao grows between +/- 16 deg latitude so a very tropical only crop and not in all areas. It does best when grown under the protection of other plants.

the stuff you guys seem to call chocolate is predominantly sourced from the Ivory Coast. The quality of the cacao used in the candy bars you mention in the posts here contain little in the way of quality cacao.

Not being a choc snob. It's just true. The crops that supply the big candy makers are designed to produce high yields with little in the way of quality or flavour.

The only 85% dark chocolate I've found that doesn't feel like eating chalk. I have 3-4 pieces each morning with my morning shake. Kills any cravings for anything sweet.

Aha.......so it's the climate it's sensitive to and grows slow.
I thought you could grow it like potatoes.
 
@Headly; I know D'Anvers :)
Not a fan of their made chocs BUT they do have bars made from the rarest cacao in the world.

It's beautiful. Not because it is rare but because it is a lovely bean that produces a chocolate with a very complex and lovely aroma and flavour

It's called Fortunato no. 4

The story behind it is also pretty cool
Will post link when I get to a computer later
