Lindt chocolates

I was in World Market today. Went for a tin of wafer thin ginger snaps. They are so good! They have Lindt chocolates so I got a box for a couple of people, got one for myself. Still looking for smallish stuff for gift bag stuffers. Found packages of tiny cookies, 5 to a pack. They are Schumann spice cookies from Germany and you know German cookies are the best ever. Why can't we make cookies like that? Got a pile of those at $1.49 each, got one for me. Then got some cappuccino chocolate sticks, and one for me.

So back home, fed the cats and prepared for Lindt chocolate tasting. Very good. I'm not a chocoholic but this is definitely a better chocolate. Had to continue taste testing so tried the spice cookie. Yummy! Better than Lindt chocolate. Get thee to World Market and get some!

Made some coffee and had one more chocolate and ... well, there are two little cookies left right now. The cappuccino sticks can wait.

Lindt is good (I live in Germany, so the brand is readily available), but I don't see how it's better than Hershey's, for instance.

Blech, I can't stand Hersheys! I think Lindt is so yummy... But I have to say, when I was in Germany there was soooo much good chocolate. Better than Belgian chocolate!

I LOOOOOOVE Lindt chocolate!!!

You have to make sure it's not kept cold. It has to be room temperature and a little soft so the gooey goodness inside explodes in your mouth when you chew it.

Good thing you told me! I tend to put *everything* in the fridge. I will control myself and have another explosion tomorrow.

Oh well I'm REALLY glad I said it then!!!!

Thats so right! I got some Lindt from Karen as my SS, its been at room temp and its hiding so John doesn't find it - and its just perfect - (Runs off to get some )

I Lindt!

I try to avoid Hershey stuff as much as possible.

When I'm in Chicago I usually stop at Leonida Chocolate shop. They a re more authentic Belgian Chocolate than Godiva.

European Chocolate

Hershey or Lindt... Hershey or Lindt... Hershey or Lindt...

They both have their good points and - um - um -

Heck, it's good chocolate and they have no bad points.

Lindt is ok....but I prefer the REAL stuff Give me some organic dark chocolate that's 80% cacoa any day!

I also like Ethel's http://www.ethelschocolate.com but they're a) expensive (1.75 per truffle...but totally worth it as an infrequent treat!) and b) apparently only in Chicago now that I look at this site...

We also have a Ghirardelli shop and Godiva shops, so I usually don't bother with Hershey's! I don't allow myself to do chocolate often, so when I want to do it, I want to do it right!

I should expect my box when?

I have both the 75% AND 85% cacao bars from Lindt - YUM!

I have never tried Lindt... Might need to add that to the list next time I go to the store

This place is awesome to purchase candy. I have it sent all over the place. Enjoy

Lindt is WAY better than Hersheys!

Lindt is pretty good, though I'm a bit partial to Ghirardelli, and I do enjoy Milka chocolate too. Hershey's milk chocolate is about the nastiest chocolate I've ever tasted, though their special dark isn't too bad. I've had some chocolate from a Maison du Chocolat in NYC and that was pretty awesome, but it was burned holes in the wallet. Not too fond of high cacao content in chocolate, makes it taste almost acrid if there's too much, balance is the key.

Hershey's is horrible stuff!!! I miss Aussie Cadbury's chocolate. It's nothing special but good for a chocolate fix. My already expanding waistline is probably thanking me for it though...

Got some Lindt Dark Truffles at the store just this afternoon.

And NO. I am not sharing.

I find the Lindt chocolate a bit too sweet, to be truthful. I like Milka, and many of the Ritter or Ferrero flavors, but I'm very partial to Hershey's chocolate syrup - I've never found an equivalent - and enjoy the mini-bar assortment (which my mom's and sister's dogs are addicted to, so I usually only get two or three little bars out of any bag I buy when visiting). Hubby is a true chocoholic, and is into South American/African chocolate bars with extremely high cocoa contents.
