What are you fave choc bars? And do you prefer milk, plain or dark chocolate?

[MK Chris]

Isn't plain chocolate the same as dark chocolate?

[Vivienne]

No, I think it's somewhere in the middle.

[Zoot]

No, Dark and Plain are the same

[Vivienne]

Right ... well. we'll start again: What chocolate bars, or boxes do you like, and do you prefer milk or dark?

[AndyJ]

Milk Chocolate is the best in my eyes. I love Bountys, Mini Eggs and Cream Eggs... But I wouldn't say No to any chocolate to be honest!

[Zoot]

I like Thorntons Chocolate, I think it's miles better than Cadburys.

[Vivienne]

I love cream eggs! mmm.. there's not enough to mini eggs. Galaxy is to die for,as are the majority of choc bars

[MK Chris]

do you prefer milk or dark?

White.

White chocolate doesn't contains cocao. I'm not sure why it's called "chocolate"?

I've been eating more dark chocolate lately as it contains a lot of antioxidants but I prefer milk chocolate. Favorite box? You mean like Godiva or whatnot? I'd say Fortnum & Mason in London. Their milk chocolate is superb.

[Vivienne]

I've never tried F & M in London, or heard of Godiva. I like "Black Magic" and "Dairy Milk" mmmm

[Sunny So Cal]

Yes, I see the extra "s" in my post above -- I'm half a cup of tea into my morning. I don't need to hear about it.

[Vivienne]

eh?

[Console]

Her previous post contains an extra 's' (that means that there's an 's' where there shouldn't be one).

[Vivienne]

still can't see it... anyhow, I always focus in on the fact that Americans spell "favourite" as favorite. they take the "u's" away.

Well, I'm not sure, but it's nice.

(The extra 's' is in the bit that I quoted, Viv.)

i feel picnic is a very underrated chocolate bar. my all time favourites would be a boost or munchies.

Easter will be here soon. I've had a chocolate drought living off some Quality Street tin, like some war ration.

The difference between black and milk Is that In black chocolate they don't put as much milk In, Which then makes It a darker colour.

[Bonanzoid]

Cadburys is by far the nicest.

Gah. Too much fusss

[MK Chris]

I don't like dark chocolate, it's too bitter for my liking. My boss brought in the Co-Op's fair trade dark chocolate the other day and got us to try some, it was truly revolting.. it was about 85% cocao or something. Of the milk chocolate that I like, Galaxy is the best by a long, long way.

[AndyJ]

I have just had a Terrys Chocolate Orange bar, that is one of the nicest now I think... very yummy!

[catherine]

If i'm cooking any dark chocolate above 75%, if i'm eating galaxy or cadburys.

There are two raw ingredients for chocolate which are both derived from the cocoa bean - cocoa solids, which is basically what we know as cocoa, and cocoa butter which is the colourless oil extracted from the pods. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, but no cocoa solids. Milk and dark chocolate contains both cocoa solids to varying levels and cocoa butter - also other vegetable oils. The better quality the cocolate, the higher the proportions of coca solids and cocoa butter.
