The Future of Chocolate

| | Comments (0)

I have always loved chocolate and been suspicious of people who don't.

Scharffen Berger was my first heavenly introduction to REAL chocolate--more chocolate, upto 82% chocolate and less other stuff.

When I took their factory tour I was amazed by the chocolate dust on the overhead ducts. That was also the day I discovered their chocolate sauce. My vocal love for it prompted people at work to give 6 bottles of it as a wedding present!!

Today I find out that Hersheys is all set to swallow our local Dark-Chocolate Maker. I have found other chocolate that makes me HAPPY but still no subsitute for the chocolate sauce. SB will always have a special place in my heart for opening up the world of good chocolate to me.

This news has spurred quite a discussion on Chowhound including tips for where to get the best chocolate. Enlightening and comforting.
