I know it's too late now, but Central Market carries
the Lindt's in plain bars. :-) 'course that's in Austin.

Dove is usually quite smooth!
A good thing to do with those is to stock up
during the candy holidays! <G> I think tho'
that dove miniatures are available in some
grocery store candy sections?

Welcome! And best of luck at the contest...

Nestle's is not really all THAT bad.
(I personally prefer it to Godiva and
I think Godiva chocolate is _seriously_
over-rated!!!).

Mom used to use the Nestle's chips melted on top
of her pecan toffee. She would then top the
melted chocolate with more ground pecans....

It's just that I eat so little chocolate anymore,
(chronic dieter that I am <sigh>) I go ahead
and spring for the more expensive stuff!
