Welcome to the World of Chocolates

When the word chocolate is mentioned most think of Swiss or Cadbury. But there is more beyond Swiss and Cadbury chocolates.

I am a chocolate foodie and have travelled widely. My main shopping has been chocolates be it Italy, Belgium, France or UK…………….

Every country that I have visited  have their own brand of chocolates and must admit they all taste great.

Of the chocolates I have tasted that included both Swiss and Cadbury I have liked  Ferrero Rocher the best.

Ferrero rocher is Italian and the main ingredient is hazelnut which is my favourite too. It has a whole hazel nut in it. It has several layers before you reach the hazel nut.

The creator of Ferrero Rocher chocolate also created Nutella a rich chocolate spread which again is my favourite.

Here is a link that tells you all about Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Belgian chocolates are no less nor are those that I tasted in Australia. What I tasted in Australia were home made. I had visited a Mall  and there in a basket there were unwrapped chocolates – one square inch blocks. I bought a kilo and brought them home. They had not melted and were a mouthful.

I had bought some chocolates in Belgium at the time the Euro coin was introduced. These chocolates resembled the coin.

Those tiny bottles made of chocolate filled with rum and other mild liquors are worth tasting too.

The latest rage is dark chocolate for which one has to acquire a taste. I am not so fond of them. They are supposed to be good for health.

And then there is the most expensive chocolate known as Toak chocolate that is sold at around $250 a bar. You can read the story about this chocolate here

These days even sugar free chocolates are marketed for those weight conscious and diabetics.

And finally nothing like your own home made chocolates which I try to make sometimes.

    • I like black chocolate and white chocolate but sweet chocolate is also tasty if you eat my cousins live America and Canada when they come to home they bring with them chocolate black and dark chocolates especially for me because they know I like it most and love it with my heart.

      In my country milk chocolate and sweet chocolate are available easily in all markets and every body can buy the chocolates easily with the pocket money. I think chocolate if full of copper is a very essential mineral of human body therefore I take always black chocolate is also useful to strengthen human brain and makes thinking power better.

      Its mixture is made with mint, vanilla, coffee orange, strawberry, sugar and milk...in different countries chocolate taste is different due to flavor but in Japan Pure chocolate and Quasi chocolate both are famous among the old and young.

      I recommend black chocolate because it is full of copper most useful for brain activities. If you have any chance do eat Italian black chocolate.

      • I just love chocolates and now that we can get anything online I get them regularly. I am expecting a parcel of milk chocolates and it should be here any moment (lol) I have yet to acquire a taste for dark chocolate.

    • Chocolates are really very nice. I can remember when I used to eat chocolate, back in the days of my primary school when we go to our canteen with money, buy a lot of chocolates and sometimes share them among out classmates.
      I was a chocolate freak until my senior secondary when u first had my first tooth ache and was told by my dentist that it was the accumulation of sugar in my teeth. Then I use to eat every type of biscuits especially the very sugary ones. The doctor advised me not to take it but if at all I will take it I should make sure I brush my teeth after that, but I can't be doing that always so I have to stop. My dentist didn't just advice me, my tooth was also removed. Chewing gum was also the cause.
      But as time passed, I started seeing reasons with my dentist. Chocolate is a gummy brown solid. I started remembering when after taking lots of chocolate my teeth will have problem that day. So I had to heed to the doctors advice and stopped chewing chocolate though I really miss it.
      But going through this post am made to understand that non sugary chocolate exist. Am very sure not aware of that. I have always think all chocolates are sugary in nature because I think that is what gives it the name chocolate. But a chocolate without sugar, do you think it should still be called chocolate, I don't think so. But if exists, I will have to buy it and give it a try.
      Though chocolate can harm your tooth, chocolate has made advantages. If I really don't wanna eat chocolate, I can dissolve it in a very hot water (though it doesn't dissolve totally), add milk and drink it. It's very delicious,i really enjoy it. I can use it to eat bread. In fact it makes a tea.
      Not just that, I think it helps in improving the health of the body system if taking moderately.
      Though am no longer in touch with chocolates,i miss it.
      Wish I could go back to eating it......

    • I love chocolate as well.Black chocolate is my favorite.Before i used to eat that just for taste but now i was visiting one of the website last time where i red that the benefits of chocolate it is good for our health.
