Mmmm, good chocolate


My wonderful Easter bunny gave me some chocolate J a week late, but who cares if it’s good chocolate?

I don’t want to run commercials for specific chocolate companies, but I think I have to. You have to understand that I just to (back in the day) eat tons of chocolate. I always appreciated the wonderful taste of it, and also noticed some differences between different kinds, but I just ate it more or less.

And of course did I plan on doing so, when I came over. When I bit in my first Hershey's kiss I had to realize that American chocolate is not the same. (I know this is a very sad story and you better get ready with your Kleenex box, to read the rest of it.) This just sweet sugary, not smooth something has nothing to do with chocolate anymore. So I stopped eating chocolate and replaced it with coolies (not bad, not bad).

So if you really want to have some good chocolate for yourself or give it away go to Wal-Mart or wherever and really look for chocolate.

My favorite kinds are:
- Lindt from Switzerland, very smooth and delicious (on the picture is a lindore ball, my favorite)

- Rittersport from Germany, it is sold in big squares, but their variety here is just tiny
- Milka, also from Germany, it’s mostly wrapped in purple but very hard to find
- Mercy, I think from Germany, a good gift since merci means thank you in French
- Rocher, Germany, little good hazelnut balls

So, as you can see Germany has tons of good chocolate (just as Germany is good at everything ;) ).
