After realizing that I have never partook in a Toblerone.. I got to thinking.. What other chocolates are out there that I need to try? Preferably ones that can be ordered on Amazon but any is fine..

Life changing.

Neuhaus

Life changing chocolates. I never knew it could taste like that.

One of my favs.

Hughes Chocolates Oshkosh,WI

Hit up Mail Me Chocolates for their menu

The best chocolates I've ever had. My ex described them as 'orgasmic'.
Expensive, but they almost guarantee a romp in the sack with the woman you give them to.

Neuhaus

These will rock your mouth.

Agreed.

I love USA but your bread and your chocolate are terrible.

Lindt is expensive but worth it - as near as you will get to UK / Euro chocs.

I tried cadburys here thinking it would be UK recepie but it seems different - more sugar and less cocoa.

I don't think it's considered "fancy" but I always wanted to try Scho-Ka-Kola

Not sure if true but apparently chocolate releases small amounts of the same endorphines that sex does in a woman.

The folks always had a box of Frango mint & raspberry chocolates in the house for when we had guests.

Try some Brandini Toffee. This stuff is like crack.

you're welcome

Leonidas

Good stuff.  Certainly not cheap.

The opposite of fancy but don't knock it till you try it:



The Dark chocolate with orange peels is tasty as well.

You never know what you're going to get in a box of those.

Fannie May is my favorite. Not sure if you’ll be able to find them near you though, they don’t sell everywhere.

These are pretty good.

This is great with black coffee

Debrand makes good chocolates. Not a big Hershey's fan unless its Symphony Chocolate.

I don't like Lindt. Ghiardeli is solid. Tolberone is good.

I recently had chocolate from France I found at World Market a few weeks back that was good.

Also, besides chocolate you can find great pastries, cookies etc at Big Lots, World Market and Marshall's from around the world.

I like the foreign stuff better because fuck HFCS

Belgian > Swiss > German > French

This is actually pretty good.

Me and the kiddo did a taste test of milk chocolates a few years back.  

We determined that Cadbury made in the UK was the best overall.

Put a whole one in your mouth and just let it melt

Costco does a Belgian chocolates box during the Christmas season that my wife goes nuts for.

iirc, hersey's has the us Cadbury license, they've ruined chocolate in the us,
us chocolate has less cocoa and some actually has canuba wax as a filler.
our uk people bring over their chocolate... its awesome.

Right here.  Leonidas  There is some powerful voodoo in these chocolates.

I didn't need to read this page , thanks OP.

Ok everybody is this thread is WRONG.

There is a chocolate company in Wichita called Cocoa Dolce, and it is AMAZING.

The even have an online store so you don't have to come to this state.

Try it.   Its expensive but its insanely good.

I love those.  Even if they are mostly vegetable oil.

Wispa bars are my favorite UK Cadbury product.

As a Belgian, I shall follow this thread with great amusement to see what you colonials consider to be chocolate.

However, this man knows.





Leonidas, Godiva and Neuheus are the better 'commercial' Belgian chocolateries. You can find these in airport tax free shops around the world, and they are in general very good. If a Belgian ever gifts you a Leonidas box number three, he likes you

The best chocolate I ever had, was in a small chocolaterie in Brussels. They had a workshop full of marble tables that they used to spread molten chocolate in order to fabricate pralines. The workshop (and everyone in it) looked to be straight from the 1800s. The only sound you could hear was the cracking of the chocolate ingots, but that only lasted for a second. Then all your senses would shut down, except your sense of smell. The smell, I will never forget. If you could bottle the smell of a stormy evening in front a fireplace, wrapped in a blanket, hugging your loved one, holding a mug of steamy hot chocolate, it would smell like that place.

They had a wooden cart (really) full of massive burlap bags. In those bags were ingots of chocolate. The pralines they made had no fancy fillings, no over the top decorations or packaging...just wrapped in a simple waxpaper wrapping, in a plain cardboard box.

While we were visiting, I was watching this old man slicing his way through a sea of chocolate. The tour guide explained the process of that particular praline, and took us to the end of the table where you could see the end result. All of us were allowed to take one. It's not a big place, so we all had to wait in line. All of a sudden I heard a grunt behind me, and someone tapped me on my shoulder. The old man pointed to the other end of the slab, where he had the leftover cut that was too small to make a row of pralines from. With a flick of his wooden mallet he cracked that strand of chocolate in two, and nodded I could have that. He took the other side, and waited for me to take a bite. It was cool on the outside, and still hot on the inside. It was the proverbial angel pissing in my mouth-delicious. With a mouth full of angelpiss I was trying to use my bodylanguage to show that it was the best damned chocolate confectionry I had ever had. He just grinned, grunted, and moved to another table where he started to whack ingots like I imagine he crushed skulls during the Napoleonic wars.

This chocolaterie would open at 10, when we got there for the tour at 0900 there was already a line. At 1100 they would be sold out. They don't have a website, they don't do online ordering, just be there when it's open and hope you're lucky.

You don't buy chocolate in a supermarket. That's where they sell candy.

Best chocolate in the world is Belgian.

This place is the best I have ever had. You can eat chocolate from around the world but this place will rule them all-

Dietsch Brothers Chocolates in Findlay Ohio

Get the pretzels and stars

The wife makes fancy smores with fancy chocolate flavors, no complaints from any of the guests so far.

These and the 6 oz Toblerone bars are on sale at Costco now.

@Notcalifornialegal

do you live in Wichita?

Proper chocolates always have nuts them, all others are inferior

I've seen my wife devour truffles across the States and in Europe. She swears the best are right down the road from us in Meeteetse, WY. She eats those things and makes faces I've only seen her make in the bedroom.

I have always liked chocolate but all I ever had was typical quick stop candy like Hershey’s, m&m’s, etc.  My wife is a candy connoisseur with extensive European experience.  We went to Belgium and Switzerland, along with some other countries a couple of years ago.  I’ll never forget the candy shops in Brussels.  Their chocolate is a totally different animal.  

Also, if you ever have a waffle in Belgium, you will spend the rest of your life trying to find something similar again.  Don’t bother trying.  I don’t know why you can’t find it outside of Belgium, but apparently you can’t.

Milka bars. Milka

I grew up there and am in a reasonable distance.

@midcap

Oprah chocolate.

It is pretty good though.

Sure... and proper chili has beans. Lol
