Well, if we're talking chips, then the Ghiradelli double
chocolate chips taste more intensely chocolate to me. I haven't tried
the bars of baking chocolate, though. No Scharffenberger at
Bloomingfoods, though? Oh, well. I would've thought they'd have it,
but that place is quite eclectic, I'm often surprised by what they DO
have, it's a fun place to poke around.

Awww, sorry to hear that! But good luck with the contest, it
