Poll question: Your preference -- Milk or Dark Chocolate?
I know that the real chocolate aficionados are all ga-ga for dark, but, personally, I much prefer milk chocolate.

1. i prefer dark, but part of that has to do with...
dietary restrictions.

i was never much into "milk" chocolate--what does milk have to do with chocolate anyway?

try tiger bars--in the organic/healthy section of your supermarket--they come in all kinds of flavors and part of the proceeds for different flavors go to helping said endangered animal (tigers come to mind right now, but there are others as well).

3. Dark
It's better at raising Serotonin levels (which is why we really like chocolate- even if you don't know it. :D )

7. I know ... but I just looooooove that creamy sweetness of milk choc.
and dark is slightly bitter and not sweet and creamy enough for me ... I TRY to prefer dark because I want to be cool, but I just can't ... :cry:

Okay, I'm better now. Welcome to DU! :toast:

9. Quality dark truffles though.

That stuff's better than heroin. (Carbury's dark is a good substitue though) :D

11.  I'm 40!
If it hasn't happened now, it probably won't ... Guess I'm stunted when it comes to chocolate!

13. Lindt 85%, or Chocolove 77%
FYI the higher the cocoa count, the less sugar used. I only need a little bit to satisfy my chocolate craving!

15. Neither. Allergic to both. :(
Worse still, I'm actually allergic to milk as well.

24. Neither.
The only way I'll eat chocoloate (or any other candy) is if I'm hungry and nothing else is around.

I'd chew up cacao beans if I could.
