Without a doubt, the best milk chocolate comes from Germany or that region of the world, what we get is candy.

My daughter brought me some Belgian chocolate when she traveled there. It was far different than the stuff I am used to getting closer to home. --FLO--

Around here, the chocolate is either Cadbury or Hersheys. My favorite chocolate is one River should be familiar with - Sees Candy.

Moi: I know, it might sound off topic but have you heard anything about Chocolate postage stamps? They are real postage stamps that are made in Switzerland, and they smell like chocolate!m Check them out here:

Yummy! But, will the flavor hold up in a stamp collection?
Another point about "Chocolate Therapy" by Ben & Jerry's.
They intended it not be chunky. And they made it work.
I need to go purchase s'more.
Bought some Nutrella to try drop bits on the Ice Cream.
Just an idea. Never bought it before although I have had it.
Chocolate calling. Back later.
Yes, Chocolate! No one

me like Chocolate does.

What do you mean by it? Aren't chocolate considers to be candy? Sure you can drink it (like chocolate milk), but there are chocolate candies.
Someone mentioned here that they can't find Kinder Surprise, and said it is banned in USA. I must diagree with that, every Russian or German store has them, just need to look around, or ask me, and if I will be kind I will mail you the Kinder Surprise just for toys, since you mentioned that you didn't like the chocolate. Another thing to note: Different Kinder Surprise comes with different toys and different chocolate. There are: German, Czech, and Polish Kinder Surprises, if anyone cares!

What we buy at the super market is candy, chocolate candy, which is different from chocolate that is in bar form, you usually need to import this from Belgium or Germany or Switzerland, friends are from Germany so I have had that and its is quite different then chocolate candy.

Sounds like Euro Chocolate Cracker Jacks, with a toy in every box.
Is the chocolate any good? There is a well stocked Moscow Deli nearby.
Is it worth checking out for the chocolate experience?

If I were to guess at Rivers meaning without knowing the experience, my guess is
German Milk Chocolate is not as Sweet as American. That's just a guess. My interpretation.
Because English is River's primary language.
In the little village of Three Rivers, on the road from Visalia to Sequoia National Park, just beyond Lemon Cove above the Kaweah Reservoir near the ranch my friend (Mexy doctor friend) and I own, is the village chocolatier. My friend brings chocolate salted caramel, marzipan, and dried fruit dipped in chocolate that is very high quality. He arrived with chocolate yesterday and once a month.

I was at the Moscow Deli today and Elena said that Kinder Surprise is made by different countries and since "the Nanny State" is concerned about kids choking, it is a hard item to find now. Try back over the holidays. I guess choking kids is more acceptable then.
Bought my third container of Ben & Jerry's "Chocolate Therapy"
Are the large bars of imported Milk Chocolate sold at Trader Joe's
the quality of good Euro Milk Chocolate? If I were to stoop to a Milk Chocolate experience, which easy to find brand would be recommended? Lindt?
