Lindt chocolate is pretty good... some of their stuff is amazing, especially their "Petits Dessert" series, which includes a Creme Brulee one, and a Dark Chocolate Mousse one... wow!

But for ever better chocolate, try:

Ive 2 friends addicted to them. I always keep a mixed bag and some in my desk.

12/28/2009 3:53:18 PM

^^^^The Vosges stuff is all pretty dank but rather expensive (like 7 bucks for a large bar)

The Lindt stuff is decent, but I find it to have a waxy texture/flavor that is typical of cheaper chocolate. Trader Joes has some high quality chocolate for very reasonable prices.

I like a lot of the Lindt truffles

Whole Foods organic chocolate truffles FTW

12/28/2009 3:58:46 PM

12/28/2009 3:59:30 PM

Extra dark truffles FTW.

12/28/2009 4:18:28 PM

mm milk chocolate with white chocolate filling

ibt jokes about those

12/28/2009 6:22:28 PM

chocolate snobs in here just dying to turn their nose up at lindt and godiva

the sad thing is, I remember listening to the Splendid Table a while back and she was interviewing one of the foremost chocolate experts/critics... He said that in blind taste tests and just overall, Hershey's chocolate beat out a ton of these "boutique" brands and in fact was a far superior chocolate. He added that people look down on it because it is so common.

It's so much more cool to be like, "Le'Aliquedumonde chocolate from the nether regions of franco austria is delicious with hints of oaky musk" than "hershey's is good"

12/28/2009 6:35:58 PM

i like milk chocolate.

really don't care what brand it is

12/28/2009 6:38:10 PM

What is the best chocolate with alcohol in it? The only kind I have tried were called "brandy beans" and they were pretty good. I imagine something with Bailey's would be damn good.

12/28/2009 6:39:25 PM

you, my friend, are in luck:

12/28/2009 6:42:36 PM

Hersey's replaced cocoa butter with vegetable oil in most of it's products to save money, which according to the government means you can't even call it milk chocolate...but if you still want to argue that it's good quality chocolate that's fine by me.

12/29/2009 1:56:04 PM

^what does Hersey's using veggie oil have to do with Lindt?


Absolutely nothing.

12/29/2009 2:03:47 PM

EVERY POST ITT MUST BE EXCLUSIVELY ABOUT LINDT CHOCOLATE

12/29/2009 2:07:46 PM

people being chocolate snobs in here, saying Lindt's not good. Therefore:

I was refuting an argument made in this thread, don't be a douche about it, like 60% of the posts in this thread were about chocolate in general not just lindt chocolate.

12/29/2009 2:11:30 PM

I believe he was referring to Solinari's post about Hershey's, not Lindt

12/29/2009 2:12:01 PM

I apologize, I guess I didn't link a few posts together properly.


I don't really think of Hershey's as real chocolate either.

12/29/2009 2:14:53 PM

mmmm

Truth. I love their chocolate.

I'm guessing most/all of the tasters were American. Most people outside of the US don't like Hershey's because of its almost sour undertone, due to the additive butyric acid that is put in cheaper American chocolate. Not saying that makes the chocolate bad, but it makes it very different from chocolate produced in other countries.
