There might be chocolate under all that foil.

On the other hand, chocolate wrapped in shiny gold foil usually isn't the good kind.

What if it's alien chocolate?

With luck, it'll be better than Hersheys? (Frankly, American chocolate is alien chocolate. Give me my Cadbury's and probably no one gets hurt.)

God, American corporate chocolate is no better than American corporate beer. Fortunately, we have the micro-breweries boutique chocolate-makers and many many strains of fine imported chocolate to save us from the horror.

My fave is Dilettante, but I'm no longer where I can get their 'factory seconds'. And Frangos. Oh, Frangos. Which originated in Seattle, at a department store that no longer exists.

I go for extremes: dark chocolate or white chocolate. Yin and yang, hurrah. (Now see what happens when you mention chocolate to me in the middle of the day arggghhh . . . )

ETA: remember to preview next time ack

Hee. You really do need chocolate. I have a bar of Hershey's Special Dark wince in my desk drawer what the company gave me. (Branded with something about excellence. Gigglefit ensued.)

J works for a small chocolate company... he has been known to produce pretty decent chocolate from out of nowhere if I look especially in need thereof. Very Convenient.

[lolmac]

Ooo, very convenient! And dangerous. How does he manage to stay skinny?

Hershey's Special Dark is at least better than Hershey's Generic. Very Speshul indeed.

Lucky for him, most of the chocolates aren't vegan, but he is. Unlucky for me, I don't care either way and they're delicious. Eventually we had to put a moratorium on him testing tweaks to the credit card system by getting boxes of truffles sent to us. That was a bit dangerous.

Danger! Danger!!

[lolmac]

Note to self: do not suggest that they send the boxes of truffles to me

Here in Vermont, one of the best is Lake Champlain Chocolates (available online here) There is a restaurant (The Ice House) down on the waterfront, and the fellow who made their desserts came up with truffles that were so astoundingly good that he eventually left the restaurant to go into business as a chocolatier. The nice thing about the Lake Champlain Chocolates is that they are wonderfully fresh, and that makes a huge difference in taste. I used to bring them down to my German-born chocolate freak connosseur friend who lived right near my son's college in Maryland whenever we'd end up visiting him. These occasions were rare, and she kept hinting that it would be nice if we would just visit him a bit more often so we could see each other and I could bring her more chocolate.
