What is your favorite chocolate?

I have a small obsession with chocolates, especially salted chocolates, and was hoping for new suggestions. To give an idea of what I like, my current favorites are:

--Lindt Touch of Sea Salt
--Anything from Valrhona
--Scharffen Berger Almonds w/ Sea Salt
--Chocolove Almonds w/ Sea Salt
--Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate w/ Biscuit
--Chuao Firecracker (a spectacular 60% w/ chipotle, salt and pop rocks)

Thanks for the input, I'm restocking the chocolate cabinet right now and need something new!

I'm noticing a sea salt theme! Have you tried Vosges? (I personally have been a huge fan of them for years.)

@inkycatz: I have only tried Mo's Bacon Bar and felt like the smokiness was a bit overpowering for my taste. I am definitely going to pick up one of the Barcelona bars from that link.

I like the milk chocolate rather than the dark. Of course, the dark is what is good for you. I don't know the brand, but I purchased a chocolate bar made in belgium on the chunnel train between London & Paris. It was awesome. I think I need to made a chocolate testing trip over there to comppare Swiss, Belgium, French, etc. and report back.

Loving caramels covered in dark chocolate. Woot has had 2 deals for ones with sea salt and they were AWESOME. Am just starting to lose the weight I gained going thru several pounds of them :(

@klozitshoper: I find I go back and forth between milk and dark chocolate depending on the brand or if there's stuff with it (for example, bacon).

For domestic chocolate, I really like Herseys. Don't care for Whitman, Russell Stover, Fannie May or Farmer as the case may be, even Godiva - but having said that, if anyone gifts me any it is gone in a flash.

My favorite is Dove dark chocolate. There's just something about it. Lindt Lindor truffles are great too.

I'm currently in love with Stam chocolates. If you are lucky enough to have a Stam shop near you, they are definitely worth checking out (bring money $$$) They primarily sell filled chocolates, but they also sell a solid bar topped with cocoa nibs that I can't resist.

For something easier to find, I always come back to Lindt. I've never had a Lidnt product I didn't like, and I love their 70% bars. The 70% range seems to be the perfect range for me.

As for mass market: I haven't touched Hershey's milk chocolate in years. I just don't see the appeal of eating brown wax. My "easy to find" brand for random chocolate cravings is Dove. Any store that carries Hershey's usually has Dove, and the quality is far above Hershey's.

Toblerone. Easy enough to find at any Target, Wal-mart, or Walgreens. a few pyramids really satisfy a chocolate craving.

Old thread, but since I've been nursing a 3lb bag of reese's peanut butter cup miniatures for the last two weeks (with some lindt's in reserve in case the SHTF), I thought it was relevant ;)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
