I like good, dark chocolate. Chocolate that makes you want to savor it one tiny bite at a time because it has the depth and complexity to make each one interesting. Chocolate that does something interesting with its flavor, chocolate that breaks down the lines with a sharp “crack.” Chocolate that brings a savory spice, a clean fruitiness or a deep bitterness to the end of a meal or a late-night snack.
Flavored chocolates are fantastic (or those with caramelized orange, ginger, etc.), filled chocolates seldom so (if I wanted nougat, I would have bought nougat).
I don’t promise you’ll like what I like, but I hope you’ll understand why I like it.
