How much do you love chocolate?

Would you call yourself a chocolate lover, or perhaps a chocolate fiend?

I recently bought some pricey Lindt chocolates and I can't get enough of
them.

I've always loved those large bars of milk chocolate with almonds.
Schools often sell them to raise money.

You and Angela should hook up and do an experiment about this.

Quite a bit, up until about 2 years ago - a LOT.
Then, inexplicably, my addiction waned somewhat.

Lindt are pretty good for a supermarket brand.

The ones with the whole almonds? Most people seem to sell bars with the
cracked almonds.

I think I'd rather have whole almonds in candy.

I'd also prefer to have pecan halves instead of crushed pecans. In candy
though, not in cookies. Nuts tend to make cookies very tough.

Lindt also carries some specialty chocolates that aren't sold in
supermarkets. They're super yummy.

Dyed in the wool Chocoholic here!! Bought $7 worth of chocolate today
from "little dipper chocolate" cause my fave daughter vendor was in
the Market In The Loop today, and not only am I kinda sweet on her,
we're chocoholic "buddies" kinda! Her mom runs "little dipper
chocolates" http://littledipperchocolate.com/ and they don't have a
storefront, but just sell at Farmer's Markets and stuff, so even
though I shouldn't afford it, I support them. And it IS great
chocolate too! YUM!!

Plus I have a lot of chocolate in a mini fridge in my basement, mostly
Christmas Candy leftover stuff, but I still have a lot of a 5# bag of
http://www.chocoley.com/p/fair-trade...dark-chocolate that I
LOVE!!

They sound good...

Has anyone gotten into raw cacao? I did, years ago and I really did
like the taste of the raw beans finely ground and added to a smoothie.
These days I can't be bothered chasing after raw cacao beans (and
paying the exorbitant cost).

Not me, but I found a list of bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturers.

Right. He and Angela should "hook up." Similar maturity levels.

I'd say I qualify as a chocoholic, although now there is a lot of
chocolate that is just not an option for me from a financial POV. I do
occasionally pick up interesting chocolates that I haven't tried, and I
have an antique Baker's Chocolate box that is full of chocolate of
various sorts. I like many of the chocolates that emanate from Africa
and vacillate toward very dark chocolate, although the percentage
wobbles a bit among the manufacturers.... I generally think milk
chocolate is a waste of calories, carbs, etc., but there is a really
nice low-carb one....
