Liketobake, Are you trying to start a war? :)

Chocolate is like a good wine or a great car. Chocolate is a very personal thing. My two votes are below. One for eating and one for cooking.

Willy Wonka? Ha ha... Just kidding... :D

On a serious note, I must say Lake Champlain chocolates are indeed one of the best I've tried, seconded only by L. A. Burdick's Handmade Chocolates... I agree that chocolate is a very personal thing and others may find some other brands superiour...
To be honest, I'm more of a vanilla type of person, though. :p

Hi! I work at Lake Champlain Chocolates and just wanted to thank you for the kind words about our chocolate. I realize it was posted ages ago but only just stumbled across it. I, too, like LA Burdick. You can also check out Recchiuti for other nice sweets and ChocoMap for a more complete directory. Happy Chocolate Hunting!

Whats the best white chocolate

[monamona]

Cadbury is considered one of the best in the world. But they have a special brand - the non luxurious simple cookies or flat bars.
