What do the really expensive Italian chocolates look like / taste like?
Exquisite, smooth, and just plain great, but most are easily over $100 for 16 oz.
One of the best for example is $99 for a 6 pk, each weighing 1.75 oz, a total of

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.

I finally tried those chocolates. I really, really like the Belize despite my usual distaste for ultra-strong chocolate. The flavor surprised me each time I sampled it. I'm not sure how to describe it. Fruity, maybe? The other one, the Theo salted almond, was also good but the zingy tang from the salt seemed a distraction to me. Just personal preference. The Whole Foods I found them at had numerous expensive chocolates. I bought another local one, a hazelnut bar from Poco Dolce, that was also good but not remarkable.
I can see how this could become a rather costly habit.
I wouldn´t be surprised if most people think that everone likes chocolate.
It´s not like I don´t like any chocolate with something else at times.
It´s that in general I don´t like chocolate. Is that pretty wierd?
Yes Longri, you are correct.
Starts off sweet, then transitions into floral and fruit, which including apricot and some
cinnamon.
The Theo could be made better paired with a stronger, higher percentage, of cocoa.
No its not weird CC, and welcome back to HST!
