kelleynr, thought so about the Lindt bar ! I can’t get enough of it either, and I do have it quite often. (No reason for guilt, good.) And good idea to bring it to the movies with you – sure beats greasy, buttery popcorn and soda, right ? Tell me more about this chocolate with caramelized onions, I’m intrigued… do you know the name of the chocolate maker or brand, or even town it’s made in ? Thanks !

Jamie, the Salon du Chocolat 2010, we are so there ! Thanks for sharing about Debotté, checked out the site and looks real good to me. Nantes is a fabulously gastronomic city, would love to visit one day. And yes, the chocolate with the soft salted caramel above – my #1 too !

Jack, I totally year you – there’s a reason I still haven’t tasted the last two bars above. While I do love caramel and salt in my chocolate, and berries sometimes to change it up, I’m also a purist like yourself. But for me, that means only dark. I rarely do milk and never ever do white. I think the ‘naked’ chocolate roundup is an excellent idea, thanks ! And thanks for even offering to share your stash… oooh how could I possibly say no to that !

Good question about sleeping at night – I guess my body is so used to the chocolate, that it doesn’t really affect my sleep patterns. Actually, get this – I remember the first time I was in Switzerland back in 1995, the host family I stayed with served me a square of chocolate every night before going to bed ! True – the mother said it helps you sleep better… !! Try it !

BTW, how do you manage to sleep at night if you’re eating so much chocolate?

Daily Spud, thanks for checking back and sharing the link. Oooh, looks like a fun and delicious festival. And a recipe for Turkish Delight truffles too, mmm !
