zeus777 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 They say “I don’t know the question, but the answer is chocolate.”It does depend on the country you’re living in, but Valentine’s Day is around the corner.When I was living in the states, I used to see Victoria’s Secret and ZALES Diamonds commercials on TV all the time around this year. Do they still do that??I like diamonds but I don’t care about bras an such, but I DO love chocolate.So here’s my random question:What’s your favorite chocolate dessert?I love chocolate rum balls and chocolate lava cake.Whoever it is that invented those two deserve the Nobel Chocolate prize.

katakatica Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 My favourite chocolate bar ever was this cheap (but fancy looking) dark chocolate with seasalt in it.Favourite dessert is dark chocolate mousse (I make mine with coconut milk, it’s not as airy as it is with heavy cream but it’s faster and so rich!Pair it with strawberries (or other berries I guess and it’s almost healthy!)(Another thing - these is a chili chocolate chai I get from the UK. It’s hands down the best tea I’ve ever had). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zreine Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The chocolate tart recipe from Philippe Conticini. Every bite is a mouthgasm. This can trigger a war in the hose on who gets the last piece of tart. It’s just…out of this world. 🤤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagination7413 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 My dad use to buy these super-rich and creamy-texture chocolate truffles that were dusted with coco powder. I have no clue what brand they are, and I am now going to ask him next time I chat with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattboa Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Surprisingly, while I do eat chocolate – dark to white, I like it – I’m not a huge enthusiast! However…I live in a town split into three “fractions” (so… like… 3 actual towns - one by the sea, one in the valley, another one more or less in the valley again) with just barely 7-8 thousand people and yet we have a mall with a Lindt bar and chocolate shop! It’s pretty large. We get at least one or two Lindt chocolate ball bags annually. I love them, all of the flavours.What else… I like gianduiotti. Ferrero Rochers also. Tiramisù is okay but I’m not crazy for it, however it’s great when done well.Ritter Sport blocks are sooo good!Milka is very good… all of their chocolate-based snacks like the cookies are insanely good also.Cadbury was good, but I don’t really remember it.Do not know anything about American chocolate. All I know is that Hershey’s is apparently bad.@joyh97 @ahmwritingco My neighbor one floor down, Giovanni, now in his 80s and retired, is the dude who was in charge of the production of Ferrero Rochers – and the entire reason Ferrero Rochers got made and sold at all. He told me the story when I was helping him fix something wrong with his TV, I think he started because he had some Ferrero bags/paraphernalia or whatever.They basically were a sweet in development hell. One day, in the Alba establishment, Giovanni and other people, including Michele Ferrero (who invented the Rocher) were browsing a bunch of papers from what pretty much was an informal “cabinet of ideas”. He was looking through most of them when the Rocher stuck out and asked why hadn’t they done it yet. Michele simply said it didn’t fit in their line yet for production reasons. Giovanni then replied saying he would contract out the right machinery and actually get it to market, which happened. This was about 40 years ago.Working at Ferrero is a dream, I knew it was already but just as I check Wikipedia I am reminded: it really is the most reputable Italian brand of all time, apparently. My school had us visit somewhere near a factory in Piedmont many years ago and that’s were I had the confirmation. It’s all based on good old Toyotism, basically a feedback loop of positivity, better pay means more happiness which means better work and so on. Workers get lots of permits and vacation days along with other freebies and I think up to a certain quota of sweets (1/2kg?) you can sneak out the building per month.

I just used one can of coconut milk, two teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and maybe one teaspoon of sugar (I prefer brown sugar but anything you have is good).Just whip it up (I used my milk frother but anything works) and chill it for half an hour.I think some people shave off some extra dark chocolate and whip it into it h melt some chocolate on top, too). I want to make it with chili flakes this time to make something spicy and rich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
