No chocolate. Steak.

(Really. Chocolate tastes nasty to me.)

In its melted form, with poached pears. Canned pears too actually, which makes for an even quicker dessert. With a fruit filling, it has to be raspberry. I like chocolate with mint too. And just plain ol' chocolate by itself.

With mint, or any kind of nut. I'm not wild about chocolate with fruit, but have been known to enjoy choc cake with fresh raspberries occasionally.

Chocolate and orange is just horrid. :shock:

Give me a box of Godiva chocolates anyday!!!!!

My favorite: White chocolate conch shell, surrounding a raspberry buttercream center. OH WOW. :biggrin:

Oh, and Godiva chocolate ice creams rock too.

But nothing, nothing beats Haagen-Dasz. Not even Ben and Jerry's.

Cheers,

No mint. No cherries, raspberries, strawberries, orange, or any other fruit. No nuts, except for maybe hazelnuts. No milk in it. Maybe coffee. But mostly, just plain CHOCOLATE (70% minimum)

During times of, er, hormonal surges, I'll take chocolate (I do not count white "chocolate") combined with most anything. Once sanity has been restored, Suzanne's 70% minimum is also my standard, but I can't ever say "no" to chocolate and hazelnuts -- even milk chocolate.

Absolutely. I think I liked chocolate in a former life.

But, my husband likes chocolate and beer.

I love chocolate dark and bitter...like my heart.

I like Jerry's Chocolate Oranges (only the dark chocolate, though)

Has anyone tried Vosges chocolates? They make awesome truffles with different spices and other flavors: cayenne, wasabi, jasmine... really wonderful.
