Me, I prefer plain dark chocolate. Or plain milk chocolate. I don't like "things" in my chocolate. At Christmas I might eat liqueur chocs, but mostly I just like it solo.
What say you, Vegwebbers?
I picked the "plain dark" and "dark with". I like lots of things in my dark chocolate (depending on my mood). Some examples: almonds, espresso chips, fruit flavors, spicy falvors, peanut butter..... I'm sure other things, but that is all I can think of right now.
plain "milk" chocolate is plain and sweet. yummm
dark mint chocolate is heaven
Plain dark chocolate or
dark chocolate with almonds, coconut, peanut butter or mint. Not so much of a fan of it mixed with fruity flavors.
Pretty much any chocolate thing and I'm happy. Except the crappy waxy chocolate sucks.
plain dark or dark with mint. dark with other stuff is cool too, but mint chocolate rules all.
Plain dark, dark with mint, dark with chilli. Those three would all make me very happy :)
Dark chocolate covered nuts or caramel. I'm not a huge fan of just chocolate on its own, but I like chocolate flavored things (brownies, chocolate cake/cookies, etc). But I rarely just want a chunk of chocolate. I also love chocolate + peanut butter, chili, or mint (not all together)...but again, I prefer say, a mint chocolate cookie over just a chunk of mint flavored chocolate.
Living in Switzerland, we have wayyyy to many options. But here I can only buy dark chocolate, there's no vegan milk chocolate. My mom sends me some "milk chocolates" from the US, I like the ones with nuts or fruit.
My favorite dark chocolates are the Lindt w/spicy pepper, I think it's "Frey" Dark chocolate w/vanilla and Cailler's Dark Chocolate.
The problem here in Spain is that since they changed the EEC laws on chocolate purity to allow the US/UK imports the quality has really nosedived. Why sell chocolate when you can sell paraffin? Many "chocolate" things don't taste like chocolate at all. Like Nutella; the last time I bought some it was just sweet. Close your eyes and it doesn't really taste like chocolate at all.
OMG I found vegan dark peppermint bark chocolate bars today! I have been looking for these since I went vegan almost 5 years ago. ^_^
*flying high on sugar and caffeine*
I love 65% dark with mint, blueberries, almonds, or peanut butter.
WUHH evergreen i want that,
I pretty much agree with theo. plain dark, dark with mint, dark with spicy. I really don't like peanuts in my chocolate, or milk chocolate. I stopped eating it when i went vegan years ago and when i have it's veganized version now it tastes waxy and not that great to me, even the 'gourmet' types.
I wish I could find some of that chocolate-covered ginger. That sounds lush.
I once mistakenly bought some dark chocolate with red peppercorns in it! UGH. Unexpected and unappreciated!
ALL
I usually just buy plain dark chocolate or dark chocolate with mint. My prevegan days were filled with peanut butter cups but it has been a long time since I had one. I buy endangered species chocolates when I seem them in the little squares.
ETA: I have not tried vegan "milk chocolate" yet. It would be interesting to try though.
Ooh, I have to add dark chocolate with coconut or ginger or coffee or cinnamon.
Dark chocolate with coconut or dark chocolate covered espresso beans.
