Chocolate: Who are You?

[volsung]

I'm a chocolate junkie. That's all.

And I love dark. I've been eating this bar I bought in Germany made from cacao from Trinidad. I believe it's 85% or so. SO good!

I believe good chocolate shouldn't be tampered with. If it must resist heat, create heat resistant wrapping. And chocolate specific fridges, normal ones are too cold and mess with the texture. There are electric wine cellars that maintain constant ~12° C, so something like that but smaller (or not!).

I like White Chocolate.

That's the basic problem, right there. Chocolate as inventor Joseph Fry made it (his company was eventually bought out by Cadbury) is an emulsion made with cocoa butter. Cocoa butter melts at or below 34C. If it's still solid at 35C, it's not actually chocolate.

I like White Chocolate.

From a theoretical perspective white chocolate isn't really chocolate because it doesn't contain cocoa solids. FYI.

I love chocolate as much, as EmperorZorn loves coffee. And I love to drink hot cocoa.

Dammit, now you got me craving some cocoa right now @Валькирия.

Any chocolate is good to me! I prefer chocolate bars like Dairy Milk, Kit Kats and Twix. I do occasionally eat McVitie's Chocolate Digestives though.

Kit kats and Twix are good but I wouldn't call them chocolate, they're either "chocolate" covered wafer or candy bars.

I love all chocolate, even the weird green tea flavour chocolate they have in Japan.
I love chocolate so much I put it in my coffee.

Like... mochaccino? It's not so rare you know

About chocolate related confectionery (non pure chocolate) one of my all-time favorites is Mozart Kugeln.

I drink coffee "pure" , but I have been known to take some pure cocoa powder and "dust" my black coffee: Its very tasty. It brings out and complements the flavours of booth. The same is true when adding this magic powder to chilli :yes

Like Geralt I like duck.. What? It's off topic? Ok...

Well the dark one is the best

 

[Aaden]

Within reasonable boundaries: The darker the better.

Plus there's many pralines with dark chocolate that are just divine. Especially those that involve coffee as well.

Oh really? Whenever I live with other people they tell me it's strange. But maybe they're the strange ones (¬_¬)

I can't drink black coffee, it's too bitter and makes me sad

You should try chocolate covered coffee beans. The good kind.

The kind that get eaten, not digested, then pooped out?

Those don't sound like the good ones to me

 

[GuyNwah]

Champurrado is some seriously stick-to-your-ribs hot chocolate from Mexico.

(apologies for the cheesy music)

Never had them, but they sure are expensive.

Edit: Oh man that hot chocolate sounds good.

@Guy N'wah that looks phenomenal :yes There is no doubt I will make this come winter even if I have to journey to the ends of the earth to find some of those ingredients.
