Okay, so most of my Thankful November posts have been on a more serious side, but this one is pure fun. I love chocolate. I love really good chocolate. By taking my husband to Europe, I have turned him into a chocolate snob. I am not sorry about this. We are always on the lookout for good, European chocolate here in the States. We also take suggestions of good chocolate to try.
I had a Russian chocolate bar in St. Petersburg that was AMAZING! I’ve been looking for Russian candy bars ever since!
Good to know. Now I will also have to look for that. 🙂
Nom nom nom! My favourite chocolates are (in random order): Whittakers (New Zealand), Godiva (Belgium), Green&Black (country?), Côte d’or (Belgium), Verkade (The Netherlands), Rittersport (Germany).
What are yours?
I have always been a fan of chocolate in Brussels, which I visited many times for work. One of my colleagues preferred a high-priced shop called Wittamers and she would individually select her chocolates for a customized box of her favorites. This store was so snooty that they refused to sell her a cake that she wanted to take home, because her travel time was so long that it would not arrive in optimal condition. I tended to go with Leonidas, a middling brand that was a good compromise between quality and price.
Love chocolate too much myself! Godiva and See’s Candy for me
I’m a chocolate snob wanna be! I’ll try all kinds of dark chocolate! I’ve even created some delicious dipping chocolate from a recipe I found: cacao powder (2T), coconut oil (1T), vanilla powder (1/2 t) and maple syrup (1T)! Oh my goodness! Dip cherries in that one! ❤💙
I am certainly not a chocolate snob but definitely chocoholic especially in winter when it starts to get cold.. 😉
Hot chocolate is a definite must-have in our house in the winter. 😉
