Maverick, how do you get your hands on that chocolate?
Ordering directly from France would cost about $45 for one 100g bar.
By the way, last weekend I melted some milk chocolate and 70% dark chocolate. Although my methods were crude I couldn't really tell the difference between their melting points. They both softened and started to liquefy in the neighborhood of 33°C. Then I ate the results of my experiment.
I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

No, not at all, especially these past few months since I have been eating mostly 100% chocolates, much more intense cocoa flavor, and no sugar at all.

Try these guys in about 4-6 weeks they should have it in by then, have purchased a lot of chocolate from them over the years and they carry quality products and have good customer service too. https://www.chocosphere.com/default/bra ... entage=132

I'll check them later but if that chocolate bar you linked is typical for shipping from that site it's still well over $20 for 100g of chocolate. And if I buy six bars the shipping is actually more expensive than the U.K. site.
If that's the way it is buying chocolate online I'll stick with what's available locally or what I can find when traveling.
Where do you reside, maybe I can hook you up, PM me.
