Chocolate

I don't remember if we've talked about this, but didn't see a recent thread so I figured I'll just do like everybody else and start one :)

Being a 16 year old girl (or not) I like chocolate. Just not the hershey's stuff and the like.

I am not a choco-elitist, if such thing exists, but over the last half decade or so here in US seems to be an explosion mass-produced high quality chocolate. So that's what I tend to get to munch on.

Right now I'm munching on a bar of chocolove 70% (the paper says made in boulder co with belgian chocolate)

Yes.
Green & Black is the best store bought I have tried. A friend brought me some assorted chocolates from Kakawa in Santa Fe. They add a little chile powder to their products. It's pretty darn good.

I was pleasantly surprised recently with a bar that had Tellicherry black pepper added. I can't remember the brand at the moment but would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Try the Chocolove with chili peppers. Very interesting!

I have tried the Chili pepper ones but although they are "good" the black pepper one was great!

I don't think I've seen the black pepper bar. I'll have to look for it next time I go to the market.

Yeah, I like chocolate with peppers. The first time I tried it was over decade ago at that little shop in the Rockefeller Center - Teuscher.

I don't think I've seen the black pepper one around here, but I've definitely had chocolate with black pepper and it's good :)

Vosges makes few kinds with chilly peppers in it, they're good but I prefer few of their other kinds.

I've got a bar of Divine 70% dark chocolate on the go at the moment. Best chocolate I've found to go with dark roast coffee. My sister once gave me a bar of dark chocolate with lime and black pepper. That was spectacular.

hmm lime and black pepper, that does sound tasty, i've got to track me down some :)

THE Norwegian chocolate: Freia Melkesjokolade.
