The Velvet BulldogParticipantIt’s finals week! I’m going to need a healthy supply of chocolate! My personal fave is the chocolate cake at Bakery Nouveau, but I want to change things up a bit too–so what’s the best stuff to keep me going this week? (And no, I don’t think “Crack” comes in chocolate…)

TracyMemberAre you talking baked goods or chocolate-chocolate? Just discovered Divine Chocolate at PCC. German, Organic. yummy.
March 15, 2010 at 2:21 am #690228
The Velvet BulldogParticipantGood question Tracy–from a true chocolate soulmate I reckon. I usually prefer the baked goods, but a few squares of a nice deep, rich semi-sweet chocolate bar keeps the spirits up and the gears grinding too!
March 15, 2010 at 2:22 am #690229
GinaParticipantI second the Divne Milk chocolate bars at P.C.C. Organic without the cardboard taste.

JoBParticipanta trip to trader joes will get you dark chocolate covered anything.. to nibble your way through the hours without realizing guilt… until the pkg is empty:(
buy two.

MargLMemberWell I’d suggest Chocmod French Truffles but I think those are seasonal. The latest interesting chocolate I found at Trader Joe’s was dark chocolate covered edamame. Antioxidants and protein!
Very easy to eat! Too easy…
Thriftway also has a good selection of ’boutique’ and organic chocolates (like Theo) on their checkout aisles.

JoBParticipantMargL..
the edamame chocolates were too easy to rationalize.. good thing i didn’t buy two:)
March 15, 2010 at 5:25 am #690233
IrukandjiParticipantMy new favorite is Theo’s 71% (I think) chocolate bar with cherries and almonds. My old favorite is chocolate-dipped ganache-filled figs, individually wrapped for your protection. Let me know if you need delivery of either.
March 15, 2010 at 11:57 am #690234
inactiveMemberThe dark chocolate dipped orange
OR
the salted caramels @ BN.
OMG – LOVE those things.
I’ve had the Theo’s too. Fabu, as well.
March 15, 2010 at 3:34 pm #690235
AimParticipantIrukandji where do you find the figs on the west side? I grab them at Fran’s when at U Village, and they really are heavenly.
March 15, 2010 at 3:58 pm #690236
biankatParticipantDefinitely Theo’s. Also at TJ’s is a new item next to the checkout stands. They’re dark chocolate covered nut squares (almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc) and they’re wonderful!
March 15, 2010 at 4:18 pm #690237
The Velvet BulldogParticipantOMG, how do I not know about these figs?? Where does one get the figs?
March 15, 2010 at 4:32 pm #690238
IrukandjiParticipantThe figs are called ‘Rabitos’ and I special order them. You can go to http://www.zingermans.com, or check them out then look for someone with a lower price and more reasonable shipping cost. Do I feel a figs and wine night coming on post exams VBD?
March 15, 2010 at 4:55 pm #690239
JanSParticipantthe figs are divine…I was treated to one, and yummmmm….
March 15, 2010 at 4:58 pm #690240
JoBParticipantdo you need delivery?
i am never adverse to buying chocolate..
especially when i can buy all i want
and give all i shouldn’t have for a good cause :)
March 15, 2010 at 5:29 pm #690241
The Velvet BulldogParticipantIrukandji: How about Ginger Ale and Chocolate? (actually, that sounds kinda gross–I’ll work on another wine alternative.) I have to run some errands soon and will stop by PCC to stock up on some chocolate goodness, but will keep you generous people with your delivery offers on speed-dial for later this week!!
March 15, 2010 at 6:05 pm #690242
KatherineLParticipantPCC also carries Green & Black’s organic chocolate. Yum. Various flavors, or just plain chocolate bars.
March 15, 2010 at 6:22 pm #690243
IrukandjiParticipantMatcha green tea and good chocolate works for me!
March 15, 2010 at 7:08 pm #690244
KimberleyParticipantDamn you Irukandji, I was so good yesterday in not not placing a Zingerman’s order, even after the 10% coupon arrived – now I think I have no choice but to place it.
March 15, 2010 at 8:16 pm #690245
IrukandjiParticipantKimberly: show your restraint by ordering the 9- rather than the 16-pack ; )
March 15, 2010 at 8:56 pm #690246
hopeyParticipantYay Zingerman’s! I make a pilgrimage whenever I visit my sister in Ann Arbor. :)
March 15, 2010 at 9:18 pm #690247
The Velvet BulldogParticipantJust back from PCC with a vegan brownie (don’t let the name fool you, these do not taste remotely virtuous) and a bar of Green & Black’s milk chocolate and caramel. The G&B I must admit is a bit disappointing–tastes more fruity than chocolatey/caramelly. Have gone to the Zingerman’s site. Oh my. How does one get a 10% off coupon? Do you have to place an order first?
March 16, 2010 at 12:31 am #690248
JayDeeParticipantA couple of weeks ago Bartells was selling Theo chocolate bars of different types for $2.69/bar. I think these are the smaller variety (compared to the mondo Blanxart bar.) Think global, but eat local chocolate…Don’t know if the deal is still on. Now we need a bacon post…
March 16, 2010 at 3:18 am #690249
JanSParticipantchocolate covered bacon w/ almonds :D
March 16, 2010 at 3:40 am #690250
mpentoParticipanthttp://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/chocolate-stout-cake-recipe This is pretty good. The first time I did it I used the cake tins suggested and the cake overflowed. The second time I cut the recipe in half and used a 9×13 tin and just put the frosting on top.
