The official thread about chocolate

[Paladin D]

Didn't want to derail the "weight tips" thread, so I decided to make another thread. (Copy and pasted from the previous thread):



======================================================




[b]Hershey, PA[/b] is the promise land, I swear. Some places, you're given free chocolate. Example: When we check into the Hershey Lodge, the person behind the counter opens a huge drawer of Hershey bars, and hands us the number of how many are in our group, for free (same applies to the Hotel Hershey).

The Hotel Hershey is a 5-star hotel, very fancy. [url="http://www.hersheypa.com/accommodations/the_hotel_hershey/index.html"]http://www.hersheypa.com/accommodations/th...shey/index.html[/url]

Not to mention the Hershey Lodge, which is cheaper and a 4-star. [url="http://www.hersheypa.com/accommodations/hershey_lodge/index.html"]http://www.hersheypa.com/accommodations/he...odge/index.html[/url]


Don't forget Hershey Park, it's awesome! [url="http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/in_hershey/chocolate_world.html"]http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/in_he...late_world.html[/url]

And also Chocolate World! [url="http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/in_hershey/chocolate_world.html"]http://www.hersheypa.com/attractions/in_he...late_world.html[/url]






[b]EDIT:[/b] My advice to those who plan to go here, spend at least a week or two without eating any candy [b]before[/b] you go.

I totally went to Hershey Park when I was little. All I remember is the guy dressed in a giant Hershey bar costume

When I was in college, I went over fall break once to Lancaster, Penn. One day we went to Littitz, to [url="http://www.wilburchocolate.com/"]Wilbur Chocolate[/url]. It was [i]amazing[/i].

They had this really fantastic fudge there, Tiger Butter, that I've never been able to replicate, mainly because I can't find a recipe for it.

I'm personally not a big fan of Hershey bars unless they're in S'mores. If I'm going to have chocolate, it's going to be good chocolate. I can hold out for the good stuff.

Godiva

[zabbazooey]

Godiva!!!! mmm

I love toblerones, anyone else like them????

OOHHH THEY'RE SO GOOD.

[Sojourner]

Godiva is really yummy, it's true.

I'm a big fan of chocolate and hazelnut together. I make a really yummy chocolate pie flavored with hazelnut, and I almost always add a hazelnut liqueur when I'm baking anything chocolatey -- cookies, brownies, etc. It adds an extra dimension of flavor, and really enhances the chocolate, IMHO.

One AWESOME chocolate hazelnut combination is [url="http://www.nutella.it/"]NUTELLA[/url] which is like the food of the gods. There are days I eat it out of the bottle with a spoon. (I also occasionally do this with peanut butter).

toblerones!!!!

[zabbazooey]

Nutella....mmm

Last time I had that was 5 years ago....

mmm

Nutella is delicious when you put them in a homemade crepe.

[Lil Red]

Mmm, I did that over vacation, only in a tortilla instead of a crepe and then fried it in a little butter.

I once went to a chocolate lovers convention. I had chocolate truffles, chocolate bread, and the zoo had samples of chocolate covered edible insects. they were crunchy.

[Old_Joe]

Personally, I like Take 5, Reese's peanut butter bups, Snickers (those are good when they are deep fried), M & M's with peanuts, Hershey's with Almonds, Toblerone, Ferrero Rocher, Skor, Heath, Symphony, and even though I've yet to try it Chocolate Lavacake. I can't have Dark Chocolate cause it gives me migraines.

Why isn't this thread pinned? :

[zabbazooey]

I love Reese's!!!!!!!!! mmm

[jiyoung]

After the chocolate from Cologne's chocolate factory, I've got this craving for chocolate that I'm having a hard time satisfying. Hershey's just doesn't do it for me anymore.

[PadrePioOfPietrelcino]

when I have some extra time I LOVE to make eclairs with a chocolate cream filling and them top them with more chocolate. MMMMMM

I make a dozen at a time, and I'm doing good if they last me two days.

[Smile_Jesus_loves_you]
