Chocolate

When christmas finally arrives I usually want to have some chocolate. Preffarbly in a box, like pralines. The last couple of years Ive tried to find a certain brand, that are famous for its good chocolate. The used to have it (the box of chocolate) on gas-stations and such. And yesterday when I was out and walked in to a gas-station, there it was! A golden box of chocolate with my favourite brand - Anthon Berg.

I could probably have found it on internet or in certain shops if I looked really hard but I wasnt really THAT intrested. What about you? Do you eat chocolate for christmas and what are your favourite brand/kind? What brands are popular in the US.? Never heard of any brands from there that are manufacturing chocolate...

Re: Chocolate

Fannie mae is a famous candy maker here in the states. It was made in chicago but was bought out and was supposed to be going under, but I think it has been revived. I always used to get a box of Fannie Mae assorted chocolats for christmas.

godiva is another one that i see here but is not made here.


I love chocolate !!!!!!!!

Re: Chocolate

I'm a big SWISS chocolate fan.
Lindt,
then Swiss Nestle,
then Tobler.

Re: Chocolate

I likes it too. One of my favorite things is chocolate banana milkshakes.

Re: Chocolate

I'm also a fan of Swiss Chocolate. Usually the only kind I can get in AZ is Lindt. I also have a hankering now and then for the Smarties Candy from the UK. My fiance' brought me back some when she went to England last year and now she's got me hooked on those and on Devonshire cream.

That was the only place I could find it... They didnt even have it in the special candy-store where they have a lot of chocolates and candy... But, yes It seems a little bit strange to me too having that kind of chocolate in a gas-station...

Re: Chocolate

You'd be amazed at the plethora of choices we americans have when it comes to chocolate... and then we wonder why we're so fat....

I have a local shop that gets me brittish and canadian versions of cadbury and nestle... good for a quick fix.

My all time favorite is belgian dark - I'd have to go look and find the "brand" but OMG - better than you know what!

DITTO BRO.... as for chocolate, I really like Herseys Special Dark. But nothing comes close to good German and Swiss chocolate. I eat chocolate all the time. YUMMY

Re: Chocolate

If you like Hershey's Special Dark, you need to try Dove's dark chocolate. Same great dark chocolate taste but in a much smoother form. I like 'em two at a time and just let them melt in my mouth. Mmmmm
