    Or... max 80%, over that they need to add wax for it to hold in shape.
    People who add wax to chocolate should be SHOT. I gag every time I think about Hershey's chocolate.

    My Favorite stuff is "Australian" chocolate. Yup, the same people that have the ice-cream chain. They make excellent bonbons and good slabs of Chocolately goodness as well.

    (nothing too dark for me though. Dark chocolate actually makes me sneeze...believe it or not.)

    My wife's got the sweet-tooth in our house, but that all goes out the window when someone finds me my favorite Norwegian chocolate. I highly recommend it:

    I have brought chocolates from a chocolatier in Turnhout, Belgium named Guy Pas. I have been told by many experts that it doesn't get any better.

    Everybody repeat after me: 'Hershey's is NOT chocolate'.

    Not much, no.

    I have shipped Belgian chocolates to several members here, as well as 2 platoons stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Come winter I'll happily supply SRP members with a selection of Belgian's finest again. Outside of winter the risk of melted chocolate is simply too big.

    Bruno, are you familiar with Guy Pas in Turnhout?

    I was once on the Island of Grenada. During a tour of the rain forest, our guide pulled a pod off a tree, tore it open and smashed the seeeds from it into his hand. He let me smell it and it was chocolate! They grow chocolate trees in Grenada! I know, it's cocoa but I couldn't avoid the Willy Wonka images.
