There is some really lousy chocolate, I never thought so until a kid gave me a 5lb. box of Zachary Chocolate, I think they sell it in Walmart,. My motto is everything better with chocolate on it. You know like no sex is bad sex, boy was I wrong about the candy. We tries 2 pieces of it spit them both out and trashed the rest. |

Those are my only two choices? Sarris, i guess.
Though Joseph Schmidt chocolates put them both to shame.
The absolute best chocolate i've have lately is from Cost Plus World Market. It's the 62% cacao bar with sea salt. Sounds weird, but tastes AMAZING!!!! _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

I like those high percentage cacao ones. There are a couple good brands but I can't think of them at the moment. Anything approaching 90% is the bomb. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

I would have to go with hershey if I had a gun to my head... but I am a high % dark chocolate person, too...
I like black and green brand that they have at giant eagle, though it may be owned by a bigger candy co like nestle or hershey _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Given those two choices, I would go with Sarris. But the BEST chocalate is Paradise in Washington. _________________

Whoops. i just checked online - they've apparently stopped their retail business. Probably only provide chocolates to select boutique hotels now. This is all i could find online: http://www.artisanconfection.com/stores/josephschmidt/ _________________ "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

how much do they charge at Pardise for a pound of Choc covered peanuts SSSS?
Sarris is way over rated and way too sweet. Hershey's pizzed me off going to Mexico and dumping 300 Pa. workers, they can rot in hell before I risk eating anything from China or Mexico, Like playing Russian Roulette with 5 live bullets in a six shooter. |

Anybody else been to Wilbur Chocolate Co. in Lititz in Lancaster County? That was some great stuff. _________________

My cousin is from Republic. He worked for Hershey and is credited for inventing chocolate that doesn't melt in the early 90's. They specifically made it for the troops in Desert Storm. Just thought I'd share.....
My answer is Sarris'. I'm not a big chocolate fan, but I melt for ice cream. _________________
