Happy New Year and good health to you and your family, brother! :3
Never tried those but I do like Belgian chocolate a lot. ^^

My wishes for the same! And yes, I had the privilege of trying a variety of Belgian chocolates last year! (Loved the ones filled with whiskey or something xD)

Thank you! We have all kinds of chocolates here but I also like dark chocolates. We call those pure chocolates or fondant chocolates here. :D

plus we can do so much with dark chocolate.. melt,grate,bake etc :P
the 'extra sweetened' ones aren't really chocolate but a sweet dish for me ..
milk chocolates i like to have sometimes but not always, really depends on the mood..

I know out of experiences that they are great for making cakes.
I like milk chocolates too but I find white chocolates too sweet for my taste.
Comment has been collapsed.
exactly! thats why i said milk chocolate not always... maybe after smoking illegally obtained leaves or something.. or just sometimes when i reminisce the childhood days when i used to have them more than dark chocolate xD

You already talked about them but I also like the dark chocolates\pralines with a little alcohol like whiskey, cognac, Armagnac, Grand Marnier, etc in them because they warm you up and the liquor and dark chocolates enhance each other. ^^

I haven't tried chocolate and alcohol yet.. only wine and cheese!
..maybe because till date alcohol consumption has mostly been a 'mobile' affair for me...while wine has been on chivalrous occasions xD

I expressed myself wrong, sorry. I meant a little alcohol of different kinds in the dark chocolates\pralines themselves. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
No my apologies, i misread your statement "Marnier, etc in them ".. i had missed the 'in' part !
also sorry, but not sorry brother, we can do without the formalities! :3

Agreed, but please do know that I have the greatest respect for you, my brother and your country! :3

One thing i suddenly remembered is my sister used to take these plain marie biscuits, put a marshmallow in the center and and microwave for about 5-7 seconds, add unsweetened dark chocolate shaving and top up with another plain marie biscuit..chocolate marshmallow sandwich so to say! :S

Best dark chocolate I ever had was a Lindt bar filled with cherry and chili.
Next was that dark chocolate bar filled with bacon pieces in it. DAMN that was good.
But you haven't tried dark chocolate until you have had a 100% caoco one. WOW!
Comment has been collapsed.
Lindt bar chili I have tried, and cherry intense I have tried. Is there a one with chili and cherry both?
The bacon one i haven't tried at all.
And 100% caoco Hershey bar i have had once.. used mostly as shavings for coffee xD

They used to make the cherry and chili bar, but I haven't seen it in a while.
But the thing from them I miss the most are the cinnamon coriander truffle balls they used to make.
I like odd combinations.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cinnamon coriander balls also seem to be available only in select countries :(
Since you are into trying different combinations, i urge you to try the peppermint dark chocolate when possible! In 40 mins not a single person has voted yes!

I've had peppermint and dark chocolate before. But they don't sell Whittakers by me. Whitmans, yes.

So peppermint dark chocolate combo was okay-ish or leaning towards good for you?
Comment has been collapsed.
I like it. I love Peppermint Patties, though.
Want to try something interesting I just remembered? Chocolate blueberry, I do that in my Dunkin Donuts iced coffee all the time. Mocha (chocolate) and blueberry.
Comment has been collapsed.
aah i will try that with mocha next opportunity i get! THanks! :D

No problem. Always nice to see a fellow chocoholic with similar tastes. Try that chocolate bacon bar too. It's erotic pleasure in a bar.
Comment has been collapsed.
I might not try the bacon one though! :-|
religious issues, not that i am a devout Hindu, but this one thing is forbidden strictly by my parents

I've not eaten Whittaker's for a while now, but they used to be the best I could get. ^^
Admittedly I've not tried the peppermint ones...
Should ask my parents to ship me some for my birthday. :3

The other Whittaker's e.g. Almond ones ,etc are really good..
Do let me know if you have the chance to try the peppermint ones! :3
b'day coming up, must be so excited! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
The Peanut ones and the Almond ones were my favourites, in the "3x slab" packs.
Looking at their site, there's so many new flavours! Even an L+P one. D:
makes long list for April

Sorry to hear that. I recently had a dark chocolate bar that was stuffed with raspberry cream, and it was gross. Just way, way too sweet. I couldn't eat it.

chocolate covered peanut butter is the other way to waste it

I've seen Peppermint potato chips in Tesco. I think that may be worse.

I hate mint in anything that's not toothpaste. Or chewing gum. Keep it out of my food and drink.
If it ruined my chocolate I'd just hate it even more.
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't get the chance to try them but I guess I won't like them because of the mint :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I like Dark Chocolate, but Whittaker's Dark Peppermint Mini has to be the weirdest chocolate I have ever had.
Not because of the bitterness or the mint. But it was plain bad. :(
Now is it the particular bar i ate was bad or there are more people with such experiences with this?
Representative image/link only for showing the type i ate not where i got them from :
