I know plenty of people who don't like chocolate at all. I used to like
really dark chocolate but it messes with my GERD so much that I will never
eat it again. Nothing is worth that amount of pain.

As a child I would like the concept of chocolate chips pancakes but then
after I got them, I would be kicking myself. I just do not like melted
chocolate. I never really liked chocolate chip cookies either but in
particular disliked them warm.

I have made countless batches of filled and dipped chocolates but I don't
personally care for most of them. I do like some kinds of peanut butter and
chocolate things. But not others. My mom bought some kind of peanut butter
cups at Costco and told me they were Reeses.. I knew right away that they
were not because of the way they were wrapped. They were sooo not good! I
can and have created chocolates at home that taste just like Reeses. I can
also make really good chocolate covered cherries. But I do not like some of
the store bought ones. I can make good chocolate covered strawberries too.
But the only store around here that sells them have some that I do not like.
They put too much white chocolate on there. I like white chocolate only
because it can be tinted and flavored. I used to make painted chocolates
and it is what you need for that. But the taste? Not so much.
