Cadbury's Milk Chocolate
Better than europe!

Only on the .Org could a comment about British chocolate being better than European choc descend into an international slagging match....probably a good thing you included that p.s.

[King Henry V]

Yes, Cadbury's is much better than Swiss chocolate.

[Viking]

This is the chocolate:

Who needs milk chocolate when you've got a glass of milk on hand?

Uh, to eat beside the milk.

[yesdachi]

I like white chocolate better but don’t eat it as often as I do milk chocolate.

I think most Euro chocolate is better than what is common in the US but lets face it, chocolate is like pizza and sex, even when it is of poor quality it is still good.

[Craterus]

Milk chocolate.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Of course Milk chocolate is winning! It's the best man!

[Kaiser of Arabia]

White. It's the best. Then Milk. Then Pure.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Cookies and Cream...

OMG, those bars are the best

Didnt you hear about the French, Belgian and swiss chocolate companies wanting Cadbury's to change the names of their chocolates, so they wouldn't be called chocolate. Just because it doesn't taste the same as chocolate on the continent

Milk. I do love to eat Milk choclate (SP?) When my gran, Agnus, was still living (She died last year) , she made choclate krispies! and she melted some Dairy milk choclate into a big giant bowl (we had thousands of choclate each) and put a generous amount into the krispies. There were still thousands of lovely choclate in the bowl. She allowed us to tuck into the melted choclate. *drowns in drool of the memories*

Usually dark - Mrs. Clegane's and my current favourite is Rausch's "Tobago" with 75% cacao



But the other types they offer are also fantastic...

[Kanamori]

That looks so good in the package...

[Kagemusha]

White chocolate is the best.My favourite is Swiss Toblerone white chocolate with honey and nougat.

[ah_dut]

white chocolate...so creamy

[Kääpäkorven Konsuli]

The only real chocolate.

[The Stranger]

milk is the best...GO VERKADE AND MILKA

[Pausanias828]

I prefer milk chocolate, but will eat dark or white if there is nothing else, although white is my least favourite.

[Togakure]

Ah ... chocolate! I love it, as I love contrast-- so for me, any kind is great. Since the thread calls for a favorite however, I'd have to say white chocolate. Aside from just liking the flavor (particularly when it has those lil nuggety crunchies in it ... what are those, anyway?), I favor the not-so-usual. I like dark chocolate over milk chocolate, but usually eat both, alternating between them. I notice the subtleties in flavor more when I relish one kind, and then the other, and then another of the first, and then the other again, and ... ha! Yum ... .

Until I was 33 or so, I would buy a three pound box of See's chocolates (mixed) just before my birthday and eat them with milk, to the exclusion of other food, until the box was gone. My birthday is the day before Christmas, so I'd be sure to finish the box before Christmas so as to be ready for our family's extravagant Christmas spread. The last year I engaged in this delectable ritual however, I gained 15 pounds over the holidays . I realized that it would be best to forgoe this indulgence of my youth. So now I just get a one pound box .

... what are those, anyway?

I see the answer has already been provided: honey and nougat. Scrumptious. What's in the nougat I wonder ... ?

I didn't even know that was physically possible...

[Togakure]

Oh, how I wish you were right!

For me, "The holidays" begin with Thanksgiving (Late November) and end after New Year's Day. In all fairness, I was working too much at the time (and compensating with 2-3 large cafe mochas a day, and a pint of Hagen Dasz at night after dinner), and not exercising nearly enough. But the birthday ritual certainly didn't help. I cut out mochas and ice cream as part of my New Year's resolution the following year, and was back down to my previous weight within 2 months. It wasn't that hard to adapt to small coffees and frozen yogurt (Hagen Dasz) instead.

You remember that thread that had the personality test? It said that "Mastermind" personality types have a tendency to binge when under extreme pressure. For me, increased chocolate and ice cream consumption are sure-fire indicators of elevated stress.
