Really? Cool. Thank you!

For me, it's milk chocolate (never dark chocolate, which is gross to me) covered fruit - particularly raspberries, blackberries, marshino(sp) cherries (the ones with the stems), lemons, limes, and strawberries. The only fruit I've ever not liked particularly are those pre-packaged chocolate covered cherries that have that thick resin inside. Blarg.

I'm with Ryan but I adore dark chocolate in addition to milk chocolate. I'm more into the chocolate covered berries and mints. I'm not too picky with my chocolate.

Oh, I totally don't do sour. That's Ryan department. For him the sourer the better. He eats Warheads like they're popcorn.

these guys are amazing.

are we talking about straight plain milk/dark chocolate bars, filled chocolates, truffles, what?

members of the government and lobbyists are pushing to lower the restrictions on chocolate ingredients. if you don't want to see cocoa butter replaced by lesser grade vegetable oils, speak up!!

I like chocolate. All chocolate. From the lowly Hershey's to the splendid See's to the super-uber stuff you only get at specialty places. It's all good because certain moods need certain kinds.

I enjoy a nice rich dark chocolate with a glass of red wine as an "I feel fancy and in no way am a poor as hell college student" dessert.

I LOVE chocolate covered orange peel candies. SOOOO good. :D

I love the boxes of gamble chocolates from See's and whatnot because maybe it's butter creme, raspberry, toothpaste...YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!!

I really love a good Ghiradelli's hot fudge sundae from their store in Downtown. MMmmmmm....

CHOCOLATE MAKES ME HAPPY IN ALL ITS GLORIOUS FORMS!!

Except white chocolate. Ew. :ick:

White chocolate is not even chocolate. It's fun in small doses though.

What I really, really loved as a kid were those Swiss or German advent calenders where you got a piece of silky tongue enveloping chocolate every day 'til Christmas. Mmmmmmmm.... ^_^

What he said: only a few more hours for the public to send in their opinions, and since they haven't done any opinion polls on the subject that's the only way they'll hear what consumers think about the idea.

I love Cadbury's so much I want to bathe in it. That's be unhygienic. Deliciously unhygienic.
