I am a chocolate lover. Wait, let me rephrase that. I’m a DARK chocolate lover. But, I still enjoy other kinds of chocolates. Just like what we see in movies and on TV, chocolate is a mood-booster for me. It’s still my choice of comfort food.

I had the chance to try different chocolates over the past years. Most recently, I’ve had these two new additions to the list of my favorite chocolates – Lindt Pistachio and Ritter Sport Dark Whole Hazelnuts – and, my long-time favorite, Ferrero Rocher.
 |
| Lindt Pistachio Chocolate I love that the chocolate is soft and the pistachio gives it a li’l crunch. |
  |
| Ritter Sport Dark Whole Hazelnuts I usually don’t like chocolate with nuts, but I enjoyed this. |
  |
| Ferrero Rocher Chocolates Different variants. I enjoyed the dark chocolate the most. |
I know, some people may say I might need acne products for eating lots of chocolates. But, you should know that chocolates actually are rich in antioxidants called flavonoids that are known to improve the heart’s health. I guess that’s why eating chocolates is comforting.
I prefer dark chocolate over any other kind of chocolate. I love the bittersweet taste and I’m not really a fan of milk and chocolate. Dark chocolate is my favorite comfort food. I also prefer enjoying a plain bar of dark choco, without nuts or anything crunchy mixed, while enjoying movies at home or writing a blog. I’m trying to lessen my cravings for it since I’m trying to lose weight, so I limit myself to one li’l square of chocolate every now and then.
A few of the more affordable dark chocolate I’ve tried are from Hershey’s, Meiji and Goya. Of the 3, I love Hershey’s the most.

And, back in high school, I got so addicted to this very affordable milk chocolate – Lala. It only sells at about Php 8.00 now at the market. It brings back a lot of memories for me.

Gone Chocco – THE Blog for Chocolate Lovers!
While I was doing my daily rounds of bloghopping, I came across this blog that just melted my heart. As soon as I landed on this blog, I quickly browsed through past posts and I can’t believe at how much chocolately goodness I found. The blog I’m talking about is Gone Chocco.
The author, Kath Lockett, is the ultimate chocolate lover. And browsing through her blog, reading how she describes or reviews the chocolates she’s tried, really makes me want to try everything she’s featured on Gone Chocco. Really mouth-watering, especially the way she takes photos of the chocolates. Here are a few of the chocolates she featured on her blog that I’d love to try. I wonder where I can buy them here or if they’re even available here in the Philippines.

What’s your favorite chocolate?
Thanks for reading!
yum, yummy, i love Ferrero and hershey’s, can i have one please, lolz
Ako rin!! Wasn’t able to find Hershey’s dark choco in the grocery last time. hehehe.
Thank you for featuring my blog – after reading that Hershey’s is your favourite dark chocolate, I am a bit worried – there are so many better dark chocolates out there for you to try. Do you get Cadbury there? Their ‘Old Gold’ and Nestle’s ‘Club Dark’ aren’t Lindt (my utter favourite) but are better than Hersheys….
Having said all that, I just read your KFC post and we do not get anything close to the delicious treats that they offer you there! 🙂
I’m on a quest to find better dark chocolate that’s available here. Thanks to your blog, I now know what to look for. We’ re planning on checking out the duty-free shops here to see if they have the ones you featured on your blog.
Yes, we have Cadbury here, but usually, you’d only find their milk chocolate and the ones with fruits. I’ll definitely scour the grocery and stores here to find some that you’ve already featured on your blog.
Thank you so much for dropping by, Kath! 🙂
Flavors such as mint, vanilla, coffee, orange, or strawberry are sometimes added to chocolate in a creamy form or in very small pieces. Chocolate bars frequently contain added ingredients such as peanuts, nuts,fruit, caramel, and crisped rice. Pieces of chocolate, in various flavours, are sometimes added to cereals and ice cream.
