shannon got me a little treat - a guilty pleasure - for my burthday: a cadbury dairy milk bar. so, after finishing off the last creamy morsels of it last night i determined that i absolutely needed to proclaim it on my blog as some of the best chocolate in the world.
-----
some facts:
--debuted in 1905.
--the american version is made in usa by hershey.
--recent ads feature man in gorilla suit playing drums to phil collins song (always funny)
--made 'by appointment to h.m. the queen.'
--when i was in ireland, i ate this everyday.
--is so creamy and delicious that it is absolutely awful for you.
--is the perfect chocolate color.
------
so, is anyone else out there a lover of cadbury dairy milk chocolate? NOT THE EGGS! i hate those things. just the creamy rich delicious delightful brilliant and oh-so-british feeling dairy milk chocolate. if not, what kind of store-brand chocolate do you like? and if we are going to expand that to include small, localized chocolate makers, then i have to give my vote to sarris' chocolate, out of canonsburg, pa.
------
well, i hope i didn't tempt those of you who might have given up rich cocoa-y goodness for lent. if so, you now really have something to look forward to.

richly,

being married to a polish man with a chocolate snobbery, i have to buy european dark chocolate. with like 80% cocoa or something crazy like that. i've actually grown to like it and haven't had the milky stuff in a long time. maybe i'll pick one up during all these Easter sales!
I love Cadbury almond and Fruit and Nut as well!
I'm also a big fan of dark chocolate and bittersweet.
ummmm, who's a chocoholic here? MEMEMEMEME!!!!
Welcome to the Cadbury club! (second of course to Sarris... and Betsy Ann-who makes chocolate covered Brazil nuts, my favorite!)
ha!
i have to give a shout out to juli d. for giving me a lindt chocolate to try. and i must say, i loved it, but it made me feel belgian which just isn't the same as feeling british. i don't know if anyone but christina can relate...
and, yes, cadbury makes the robin eggs, the candy-shell-coated chocolate eggs of goodness.
and to those of you who gave up chocolate for one reason or another i am truly very sorry, but you should seriously think twice about making that commitment again.
