I like milk chocolate best, but I won't turn down dark chocolate. I really enjoy truffles. I like the different flavors or just chocolate covered chocolate. My favorite candy bar is Snickers, but that is probably because I tell myself it is more nutritious, since it has peanuts in it!<br />may_dayzee@yahoo.comKayMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972922396306756344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-26763247594833584832013-09-11T18:22:51.772-04:002013-09-11T18:22:51.772-04:00Love, love, love chocolate!!

Sometime in the early 1880's Lindt put the cocoa butter back into the powder and created a solid bar that could be snapped or broken into pieces that melted in the mouth. It was available so perhaps store owners could order it for their customers. Mr Hershey became fascinated with German chocolate-making machinery on exhibit at the Chicago International Exposition in 1893. He bought the equipment for his Lancaster plant and soon began producing his own chocolate coatings for caramels. Does that help?Martha W.

I love milk chocolate. Dark chocolate is too 'mature' for me, though. However, bring out the white chocolate, and step out of my way because I'm making a beeline for it. They say it isn't even real chocolate, but I don't believe them. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us those cute chocolate bunnies we consume at Easter aren't a quality product, either. :-)J Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125211597501181219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-10403818258692268452013-09-11T09:03:55.263-04:002013-09-11T09:03:55.263-04:00Chocolate in most any form is good!

At a 'certain' time in my life, in my fifties, I started to try and eat a tiny bit of it here and there and found that I was now able to tolerate the effects of caffeine! YAY!<br /><br />now I am making up for it. I do love all things chocolate but especially dark chocolate.<br />Last year on a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, we had the hot chocolate at the time - a very strong, almost bitter dark cocoa... and I loved it. It was served at 'coffee' houses as an option and came with the availability of cream and sugar. I trust Colonial Williamsburg for details so it must have been used as a drink in the 1770s in coffee shops that catered to the gentlemen and ladies of the time. my new addiction is dark chocolate covered coffee beans! <br /><br />thanks Martha!Debra E.

I will give up my firstborn for one of those. ;) Dark chocolate is my favorite type. Cream filled chocolates are top of the list also. And I could go on and on and on. If I had to list a few more brands then Reeces Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Way and dark chocolate peanut caramel clusters would be tops - after Yorks, of course. <br />lattebooks at hotmail dot comSusan Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885508869904521374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-30109489512314824932013-09-11T03:37:12.848-04:002013-09-11T03:37:12.848-04:00Hi, Martha!
