Dark, Milk or White Chocolate?

[IrishEyes]

Which do you prefer? Personally, I like dark chocolate with caramel or raspberry filling.

[Xipe Totec]

1. Dark & bitter fits my mood nt

[underpants]

3. Milk

Try a section of a Hershey bar with a saltine cracker. Deeeelish.

[IrishEyes]

14. Interesting. I will try that.

24. I actually didn't mean to respond to your post

I thought I was replying to the OP.

Anyway, thanks.

[Xipe Totec]

41. I figured, but thought I would recommend my favorite chocolatier in the whole world.

I've been away from Boston for years now, and this is the place I miss the most.

[Clash City Rocker]

28. Chocolate and anything salty is a winner

[flor-de-jasmim]

2. Dark.

[True Dough]

4. Context matters

With mint or with almonds, I prefer dark chocolate.

In baking or just to eat plain, gimme milk chocolate, preferably Cadbury.

White chocolate isn't my thing.

[IrishEyes]

10. Few people like white chocolate but I wanted to include them.

I like dark chocolate with mint as well.

[brush]

22. White chocolate isn't really chocolate.

[Laffy Kat]

49. That's what I said below before I saw your post.

I agree 100%.

[brush]

50. Yeah, when you want chocolate, you want to taste chocolate not just sweet...

whatever it is.

[Laffy Kat]

51. It just tastes like sweet milk.

I'll take it dark or milk or somewhere in between and NO WHITE!

[onecaliberal]

39. White chocolate with crushed candy canes - so good

[Zoonart]

5. Dark choc dipped pretzels.

[IrishEyes]

19. I love milk or dark chocolate dipped pretzels.

[maxsolomon]

6. Dark like my soul

with Chilies.

[IrishEyes]

16. I had dark chocolate with cherry and chilies recently.

It was good.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Dark, from 60 to 72 percent cacao.

. . .and I also love dark-chocolate covered espresso beans.

[2naSalit]

12. +1

[Ilsa]

27. Yep, but I don't require the espresso beans.

They really get me hyped up.

[Control-Z]

8. White.

[dlk]

9. All of the Above, of Course

[Dulcinea]

72. This.

If I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with milk, but dark chocolate with mint is delicious, & the white chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups are amazing! Chocolate makes life worth living!

[Guilded Lilly]

11. Milk milk milk.

[ariadne0614]

13. Dark. Always. n/t

[Ohiogal]

15. All of the above

I have a sweet tooth.

[MiniMe]

18. Dark

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Milk chocolate.

Dark chocolate is too bitter for me and I overdid white chocolate at some point when I was a kid, probably one of those chocolate bunnies at Easter. If I ate the whole thing at once, that would explain it.

[IrishEyes]

21. I overdid it once with candy coated almonds as a child.

I can't stand them now.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. I have a few things like that, I was big on candy when I was a kid

And I'm really not a fan of chocolate with mint. When I was about 10, I sold Girl Scout cookies and I actually threw up over the Thin Mints. I didn't eat any of them, but the proximity was all it took.

[wendyb-NC]

23. Dark definitely

At least 60% cacao.

[muntrv]

25. Milk.

[Liberal Veteran]

26. I'm gonna go with white chocolate.

Don't judge me.

[Mrs. Overall]

29. Dark.

White chocolate is a conundrum to me. It tastes like solidified sweetened condensed milk. Yuck.

[sl8]

31. Semi-sweet.

Only half kidding.

[Clash City Rocker]

32. Chocolate purists usually go for dark chocolate

I like white chocolate, although technically it isn’t chocolate at all.

[kimbutgar]

33. Milk chocolate

My downfall and ruin of my waist!

My favorite is Belgium chocolate better than Ghirardelli.

[elleng]

34. DARK, and raspberry's always a good added touch.

[hlthe2b]

35. Love it all. Dark is healthier, good quality milk chocolate is a guilty pleasure, but

every once in a while, I have to have my white chocolate macadamia cookies--love them.

[Cracklin Charlie]

36. Dark.

All dark chocolate, all the time.

Milk chocolate...blech.

[k8conant]

37. The Darker the Better...

80% cacao with sea salt is great!

[tblue37]

38. Yes, please. nt

[nocoincidences]

40. Dark, definitely,

and with raspberry, oh yeah.

Milk and white chocolate? Yes, I will eat and enjoy them.

If I have an option to choose one, always dark.

[badhair77]

42. It has to be dark.

[Golden Raisin]

43. Dark!

[applegrove]

44. I once had a white chocolate cake with raspberries. Wonderful.

[LeftInTX]

45. White and milk

Never dark...I have a reaction to strong chocolate.

[Tikki]

46. Dark..almost to the point of bitter.

With some kind of hard, crispy or chewy center.

[shenmue]

47. White and milk

[Laffy Kat]

48. I insist that white chocolate isn't really chocolate.

I'm sorry, but it's not, and you will never convince me otherwise.

[dameatball]

52. Dark chocolate with almonds. Strawberries dipped in any chocolate also works for me.

[Adsos Letter]

53. Milk chocolate creams.

Yum.

[pansypoo53219]

54. chocolate + something. i like mixing white & milk.

been on a white + almonds. + white + coconut. and the seasonal mint & brown chocolate.

[mercuryblues]

56. I hink you will love this recipe

https://emerils.com/125820/white-chocolate-and-blueberry-bread-pudding-amaretto-cream-sauce

White Chocolate And Blueberry Bread Pudding, With Amaretto Cream Sauce

I use challah bread to make it. The recipe is also easy to cut in 1/2 or double if you need to.

[pansypoo53219]

61. well, i hate pudding. + prefer armagnac.

[lkinwi]

55. It was milk chocolate until I forced myself to really try dark.

Now dark is my absolute favorite.

[Solly Mack]

57. Dark chocolate.

Always been a fan of dark chocolate.

[GreenPartyVoter]

58. Dark, semi-sweet, then white with caramel, peanut butter, nuts, raisins, and

or pretzels /sugar cones. Love to add them to toaster waffles on jam and goat cheese.

[IrishEyes]

63. That sounds good.

I like jam, goat cheese and waffles.

[area51]

59. Dark. n/t

[LakeSuperiorView]

60. "Or"? The only answer needed is "Yes, please."

[ailsagirl]

Preferably with lots of almonds.

[Wolf Frankula]

64. All

By themselves with caramel, fruit or nuts, except peans. I don't eat peans or anything that has peans in it.

Wolf

[Lockwood]

65. Definitely dark.

I like Dark

[smirkymonkey]

66. Dark Chocolate, but it has to be really good chocolate.

I especially like dark chocolate truffles. There was a place I loved to go to in NYC called Vosges that had some really exotic combinations. Some of them sound strange, but the chocolate only had a hint of the other ingredients so that it wasn't overpowering, just enough to give it some complexity.

https://www.vosgeschocolate.com/category/dark-chocolate-truffles



Some of the choices:

Absinthe: Chinese star anise + fennel + absinthe + 62% cacao dark chocolate + cocoa powder
(1) Balsamico: 12 year cask-aged Modena balsamic vinegar + 62% cacao dark chocolate + Piemonte hazelnuts
(2) Black Pearl: ginger + wasabi + 62% cacao dark chocolate + black sesame seeds
(1) Brown Butter: Vermont creamery cultured butter ganache + 72% cacao dark chocolate + Cadiz sea salt
(2) Budapest: sweet Hungarian paprika + 62% cacao dark chocolate
(1) Chef Pascal: kirsch + 62% cacao dark chocolate + dried Michigan cherry
(2) Rap: horseradish + lemon zest + praline + 65% cacao dark chocolate + cacao nibs
(1) Red Fire: Ceylon cinnamon + 62% cacao Venezuelan dark chocolate + ancho chili
(1) Polline di Finocchio: wild Tuscan fennel pollen + 62% cacao dark chocolate
(2) Tlan Nacu: Mexican vanilla bean + 62% cacao Venezuelan dark chocolate
(1) Oaxaca: guajillo y pasilla chillies + 62% cacao Tanzanian dark chocolate + pumpkin seeds
(1) Jazz: Café du Monde® chicory coffee + 62% cacao dark chocolate

I also like other chocolatiers, but this was a particularly fun place to go.

[IrishEyes]

67. I have decided eat higher quality chocolate.

I would rather save up and buy the good stuff than have the cheap stuff. I will have to check out that chocolatier.

[smirkymonkey]

70. It's really good! They have been rated the #2 chocolatier next to Teuscher.

I used to go to the Soho shop when I lived in NYC and just buy a few truffles and eat one every night. I would just savor it. They would also do special chocolates for the season like champagne and rose or something like that. It was so good! It's not really any more expensive than any other top chocolatier.

It's really worth it if you are a chocolate lover!

[Luciferous]

68. Dark

[Major Nikon]

69. White chocolate is an oxymoron

[Niagara]

71. I'm a dark chocolate person n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

73. Good dark chocolate, unadulterated with foreign substances.

Though half milk, half dark chocolate is a delicious compromise.
