Happy Easter, folks!

TeeJay's right about American chocolate, Anne. We'd rather it look good than actually BE good. They add waxes and stabilizers to it so it'll stay shiny and uniform. You go along thinking it's pretty good until you get some Swiss or Belgian chocolate, and then you realize what you've been missing

And I could STILL eat my weight in Reese's cups!:);):D

German chocolate ain't half bad either. I know, I have a source.

I love Swiss chocolate, there is a special one, called Toblerone, I could DIE for it. I bought some last week. I think I might eat a piece now.

We've got a version of Toblerone here, too. I'm not sure it's the real thing, though. Maybe they license the use of the brand name, but produce a US domestic version. It's not bad, but I don't know if it's as good as the stuff you get is. The triangular stuff, right?

It might not be the same. I just learned recently that the recipe for Nutella varies by region of the world. How weird is that?

justme · 26 Mar 08 :: 20:14

Yeah, it's weird. But I can imagine them thinking, "Why make them expensive chocolate when they'll eat paraffin?"

LOL! The Swiss version of Toblerone is awesome, love it too. (Yes, it's the triangular stuff.) Not sure if the American version is similar. I don't dare try it, actually. It's so weird, I bought Snickers at Deb's place last year, and even though ours looks and sounds the same, it just tastes WAY better. Because we don't use paraffin to cover the gooey stuff.

But still, the Swiss make yet better chocolate than Germans. And I'm allowed to say that. It's hard to beat Lindt. And, hey, Deb? You still have some of the German version of Nutella, right?

Your making me jealous, Anne. I want that chocolate soo bad now! I don't even like chocolate that much but you make that chocolate sound amazing!

I love toblerone. It's the best chocolate. My dad got me a big box of mini sized toblerones from some airport shop once. So good. And they were varied too, dark, milk, white. mmmmm.

TeeJay · 27 Mar 08 :: 09:52

Yeah, they also now have a variety where there's milk chocolate outside and white, more creamy stuff inside.

You may regret that.

My spring break started Thursday. Now I have the opportunity to sleep in late every morning until I start school again. = )
