I love dark chocolate as well, and it's rich in anti-oxidants. Every month or so there's some article on the net that gets emailed around about the benefits of the anti-oxidants in chocolate.

Dove Dark chocolate is about as good as it gets in commercially produced and readily available chocolate in the grocery stores. It's very smooth and melts in your mouth. But I look for Suchard everywhere I go.

Cheers!

I began eating dark chocolate when I did 'Eat Right For Your Blood Type'. Prior to that I had only eaten Hershey's Special Dark miniatures around Halloween time. I have become very fond of dark chocolate over the years. A little too fond of it! ;)

I actually love Trader Joe's dark chocolate bars. They are thick and yummy! Besides being one pound! YUMMMM...I agree w/ Matt as well~Dove Dark is really good and so smooth.

Also, if you ever come across a Cost Plus in your travels or hometown~they carry a lot of wonderful European chocolate. Great place to buy unique chocolate and even 'old school' candy...

:)God Bless,
Kristen

Like you I absolutely love dark chocolate. I even keep a draw in my desk stocked with nothing but dark chocolate for those mid-day cravings. If you are really after a super high percentage of cocoa, you should try Lindt's new 99% bar.

I'm pretty fond of the Chocolove products. Not the darkest, but tasty.

I prefer milk chocolate or white chocolate. The best dark chocolate is on a cake heated up!!!

Hi Rob,
I work for a company called Chelsea Chocolates in Craighurst Ontario, Canada. I make chocolates all day long, it's fantastic. All our chocolate is handcrafted belgium chocolate. The highest dark chocolate that we carry at the factory is 70%. I really enjoy the 70% dark chocolate I eat it everyday. We are a small company so unfortunately we do not ship to the USA. I find Beglium choclate is wonderful I have tried alot of other brands but prefer Callebaut Belgium Chocolate.

Cheers,
Cheryl

I am going to be in Toronto soon, will I find a good place there for dark chocolate?

I'm in Jacksonville - Peterbrooke Chocolatier is AMAZING! I would get hit by a car if I don't walk on the same side of the street because I'd cross to get there without looking....

OOH! It's not love or hate - it's addiction - I adore dark chocolate and really feel like I require it to feel at peace, to sleep well, and just to enjoy life! It's rich and healthy and brings me a lot of pleasure - yes Amanda, it's orgasmic!

PS There is a wonderful company, Chocolatea, that makes bars that combine rich chocolate with tea, extracting the leaves, fruits and spcies and crushing them to combine with chocolate. They make 12 different flavors including pomegranate white tea, coconut green tea, ginger, wild raspberry and more. They're at www.smilechocolatiers.com.
