Red one is dark chocolate, which is a stronger chocolate ie: not as sweet.

Speaking of dark chocolate, Lindt do a 85% cocoa chocolate bar over in germany, now that stuff is strong!

Out of the list on the poll I chose snickers.

You're all wrong. Here's why.


You choose the bournville. Then, you can melt it and mix with milk, spices, infact anything and make your own bar. :)

I was asked this in the pub other day, and coming from someone who melts his own special chocolate often, it so much more sense.

What if you want a really dark chocolate?

Bournville has 44% cocoa, Lindt would still be a better choice as they do a 70% cocoa bar here :lol:

I like the idea however, if the rationing is due to supply issues, surely you would suffer the same supply issues if you attempted to make your own bar?

Having tasted the 85% stuff I think I'll pass on the 99% stuff :shock:

I found the 85% stuff was a bit vile, the 70% it's just about edible :lol:

A hypothetical question about chocolate

Post by thamestyres » Fri Sep 02, 2011 7:26 pm

being a chocoholic i could not live with only one bar forever, i have voted for red bounty which is the dark chocolate version ( the blue one is the milk chocolate) this usually keeps the craving at bay but a treat would be the bournville, i have tried some of the higher cocoa content ones but do prefer the bournville.. i like the idea of melting it as well and adding some milk etc, might have to give this a try :lol: if i have a milk chocolate i prefer dairy milk i find this not as sickly as galaxy... regards ricky

As an expert on this subject you have omitted the nicest chocolate from the list.

Green and Blacks 8) 8) 8)

I love all kinds of chocolate, it being my one real vice. I eat far to much and eat different types as my mood changes. G+Bs milk is good for an all round bar but a nice 85% cocoa is good for the evening.

I tend to grab a bar when I pop in for petrol and caramac is good during Lent when I,m not allowed chocolate.

The thought of being restricted to one bar for the rest of my life sounds like pure hell.

The higher the cocoa content the better the quality. Things like mars bars are just rubbish but have a job to do in providing a quick fix.

G+Bs do a very nice drinking chocolate and try coco pops with chocolate milk. The milk turns black. Very nice.

Mars bar sandwiches sound yukky but it is no different than having nutella. Try it.

OOOOh choccy. What would we do without it.

Kate
