I've sometimes wondered about this yet never asked, so when I stumbled across a website on Belgian chocolates this morning that most people seem to be saying are the best chocolates in the world, I'm now wondering what other chocolates are out there.

Can you let me know what other chocolates are worth knowing about ~ if you happen to know...

I rarely eat chocolate anymore after having Belgian chocolate. There was a chocolate store that sold only Belgian chocolates. They moved the business online.

Swiss chocolate is aparently good too

Are you saying the chocolate was so horrible you never ate chocolate again, or so good you couldn't eat any chocolate other than Belgian chocolate again? :)

The latter. Common chocolate is yucky compared to Belgian chocolate.

I was in the netherlands for 4 days... now, I'm not usually a chocolate eater, at all. I'll have chocolate maybe once a month or so... if I'm at a party and there's a chocolate fountain or something.

HOWEVER, chocolate in the netherlands (belgian chocolate, too, I'm sure) was NOTHING like the normal chocolate I've had all my life. It was like I've been lied to my entire life. You got to try chocolate from europe. You'll never go back.

Lol, a chocolate fountain... mmmm... reminds me of Homer Simpson's Land of Chocolate...

Okay, got to find some Belgian chocolate.

Ghana chocolate is supposed to be good too. Have you tried it? Here's how to eat it :)

MMMMMM join a chocolate club and fill your boots you will get to try chocolate from all over the world, here in the uk we have a lot of what I call real chocolate made with cocoa and cream.

Take a look at those my gosh they look amazing but so is the price be warned.

I don't know much about foreign chocolates, but whatever that Lindt stuff is they sell in the red bag with milk chocolate outside and creamy melt in your mouth chocolate on the inside is amazing. Cheaper than online foreign chocolate, and faster too. Try Wal-Mart. :-D

I think what got me curious about quality chocolate was the Lindt East Egg I was given last Easter. I'm more than happy with Cadbury's which is what I'm usually given and what I grew up with, and I wasn't expecting anything too different to that... so when the Lindt was much smoother and creamier than any chocolate I'd tasted before, it made a new impression... hmm, I think I've been spoilt :)

We can buy Lindt at Woolworths (Woolies) which I guess is your equivalent to Wal-Mart :-D

If you have woolworths have a look for thorntons chocolate they are a predominant uk based co but they do sub the woolies here so got to be worth a look.

Thorntons look very tempting... I'll have to see if I can find them...

I did a christmas job once with them and ooooooo was it my idea of heven tee hee you could eat what you wanted too with in reason obviously ;)

Teucher champagne truffles rock the casbah.

If my wife told me to go get chocolate and that our future sex life would only be as good as what I brought her, id bank on these. Not saying there isn't better out there, but these are a solid bet.

Not sure why Kp; you somehow reminded me of fresh strawberries dipped in melted chocolate along with a glass of champagne... yummmmm

Love the truffles curlybenswife. Are they really what the queen eats? :)

Try Australian tim tams

Would you believe I was taken to a Belgian chocolate café (KokoBlack) last Friday afternoon with friends from work. How's that for a coincidence..?

Mmmmm... belgian chocolate... :-)

Have you tried drinking coffee through them like a straw?

I have.. lol! Not sure why, I thought it was kind of ewwww... and didn't taste so great...

Lindt chocolate... yum.

The one that you didn't expect to have and you're starving. Or the one you find in a hotel room when you are with someone you love. To me it was all about the moment.

Ghiradelli chocolate made in San Francisco has always been my favorite. Was at the Ghiradelli factory back in the 1970's and have been hooked ever since. Even though I come from a small town near Hershey, PA, I love Ghiradelli the best - even over Dove and Godiva. Those two are too rich for me.

Someone told me he prefers Swiss and Ghiradelli chocolate more than Belgian chocolate, that he says is too runny... now you've got me on another chocolate hunt :)

I guess you're going to have to keep sampling chocolates then until you hit on one that tastes best to you. I admit it's a tough job but someone has to do it. Sigh. Sometimes the price has nothing to do with the likeability of the particular chocolate. It is strictly a personal thing with me as I do like several kinds though and not just the Ghiradelli's.

Oh Frangi - I just remembered another great chocolate - Coblentz. I don't think you can get it down under as it's made here in Ohio. Scrumptious though.

Okay, okay... Coblentz is on the list too!! Here are a few choccie sayings for you Twinks:


Nobody knows the truffles I've seen.

So much chocolate, so little time!

Simply put... everyone has a price, mine is chocolate!

Save the Earth! (It's the only planet with chocolate.)

Will work for chocolate.

I'll eat anything! As long as it's chocolate.

There's more to life than chocolate, but not right now.

Frang - I love your "choice" sayings! LOL Just what I needed today to wake the heck up and drink some more coffee. I even have chocolate cheesecake that I make - that's how nutty I am for chocolate also. I ended up making a chocolate cheesecake Sunday and had no vanilla to add. It came out tasting better than normal with just a touch of lemon juice. Yummmm want to piece? I'm mashing in into the screen for you!

Living in the states, it seems as if we import all our good chocolate... but... Godiva is great, in my opinion.

Swiss is my favorite though.

Course, Mackinaw Island (Michigan) fudge is quite nirvana-istic too! :)

Ooo... and Tolberone. :)

Toblerone actually bought from switzerland tastes totally different to the stuff they import bit like Guinness really lol what the import out is crap to what they keep for themselves.

I've bought Toblerone in the States and in China... for some reason, the Toblerone in China always tasted better... course, I thought that was simply from the dirth of chocolate... :)

Giggle its what the different countrys put in it different places have different rules regarding chocolate contents the whole worlds coo koo did you know that lol

I didn't know that! Very cool... I think... lol :)

When it comes down to it there is one thing you can be sure of we all love chocolate in some form I know I couldn't live without the dam stuff sigh my hips could though...

Oh man... I hear you! :)

Hmmmmm... chocolate cheese cake... yummmm. Ta Twinks :p

You and HC and Curlybenswife somehow got me wondering if chocolate is good for the skin. Do you think if we smeared our faces with chocolate and left it to set for 20 minutes we would be more appealing afterwards?

Ooo... chocolate baths and chocolate massages... wait... hmmm... :D

Ooolala! Love the idea of a chocolate massage. A swedish chocolate massage, ooh yes!

LOL oh my god stop this is how baby's happen lol

Oops... :)

Yeah! Swiss choc and toblerone! Simply love them! However, I never heard of Ghiradelli nor Coblenz... but hearing you makes me hungry of chocolates!

I don't know of those choc bath and choc massages but what about swapping around to mud? Same colour and same feeling! But with perhaps a somewhat completely different taste...

Ah but mud isn't lickable is it lol

And the worms (if any) yuck! But it has its good effects!

Oh blimey the mind conjouring all sorts now I'm off to play with the kids ;)

Bye!

I just put up a post about chocolate too, before I even saw your post. But check out this site. I don't know how good the chocolate is, but for the prices I'm sure its good. The designs look great.
