PWSX3 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 As everyone knows it's that time of year to give your sweetheart some chocolate, but I would like to give her some that is "good" for you. I hear they are now saying there are some good ones out there. I want to give my DW the chocolate because she will appreciate it, but I would also like to give her some healthier kind because I care for her. I was thinking ov making up my own heart box with things like nuts or other things that are a little better for you, but I decided that might not be a good idea right now. Thanks in advance!!!
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Well, dark chocolate has many health benefits, but in SMALL DOSES, otherwise the calorie content just makes it not worth it.
magichands Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Don't sweat it... everything is fine in moderation. A big box of chocolates never killed nobody. This article is terribly old, but - I believe - cuts to the heart of the matter. Belinda Linden, Head of Medical Information at the BHF, said: "Advising people to eat chocolate regularly for their hearts' sake is a reckless message that people should ignore. ... "Yes, chocolate contains flavonoids. However, most chocolate bars contain high levels of saturated fats and sugar that contribute to high cholesterol levels, obesity and coronary heart disease. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/sci_tech/2001/glasgow_2001/1521982.stm
VinaAmez Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Well the best chocolate that I've EVER had came from the Swiss. But I don't think you can fly there to get it lol! :laugh: I'm a Hersey fan myself so I can do with the Hersey Kisses.

That stuff tastes like... tastes like... sugar and cocoa pressed into moulds. OK. I suppose that is chocolate. But give me a Toblerone anyday. Sucks that I can't afford them.
pricillia Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 They are the best, thier ingredients are fresh and they take care with the quality of the product. As far as being healthy yes dark chocolate is better but it is an indulgence, The Lindt Chocolate is not waxy like the Hershey's and other store brough brands.. DC raises the serationin level in your brain which makes you happier. Good Luck
VinaAmez Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 It probably is but tastes good to me. I could eat a whole package. I also like Carmelos and England chocolate. That's good too. . Oh and yes I like Truffles.
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Lindt. They are the best, thier ingredients are fresh and they take care with the quality of the product. OMG, DAMN YOU!

Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Yes I used to work for the company so I know the in's and out's they truly are the best... I would gain 50 pounds if I worked for that company!

norajane Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Lindt truffles are fantastic, but I also love Godiva. They do such a beautiful job on the shapes and it tastes wonderful, both the dark and milk chocolate. Your wife will love it.
pricillia Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I would gain 50 pounds if I worked for that company! It was hard not to gain weight... but you have to have at least on piece of DC a day... just a square... Yum!

Snickers bar is about the only candy bar I like that is chocolate and that's because it has nuts in it.
magichands Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 So where would a person find this Lindt stuff? With Valentine's Day just around the corner? In your dreams.
pricillia Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 With Valentine's Day just around the corner? In your dreams. Well there are Lindts stores all over the US... In malls mostly. Go on line and go to thier Website, I am sure that there is a location list. Also some grocery stores have it as well they do have gift boxes and so does CVS, but the best place to get them is at the Lindt Store itself They will have chocolate left, they get shipped regularly
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 So where would a person find this Lindt stuff? I am not a fan of chocolate so this is all new to me. Snickers bar is about the only candy bar I like that is chocolate and that's because it has nuts in it. I've found it everywhere, even at the grocery store or drugstore. This is what a package of truffles looks like: http://www.regalchocolate.com/catalog/images/475479.jpg It's all over the net, so you could have it delivered too, although by now that's going to require a huge rush fee.
magichands Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 They will have chocolate left, they get shipped regularly No chance. Go ahead and wrap the Snickers bar - it's the thought that counts.
pricillia Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 No chance. Go ahead and wrap the Snickers bar - it's the thought that counts. yeah I just called someone that works there they have plenty left...It may not be in a heart shaped box... but they have some left, all OP needs to do is go to the Hallmark store and get a bag with hearts and stuff... And And I was just at the GS they have some left... ghese MH... don't discourage, you can't have all the Lindt Chocolate for yourself. Be creative
Porn_Guy Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 yea godiva is good...but its very expensive. I usually get the $25 box which only contains like 16 pieces. but the chicks like it so its a nice treat for them once in a while.
magichands Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 ghese MH... don't discourage, you can't have all the Lindt Chocolate for yourself. Darn! My ploy failed. Nice detective work, pricillia.
pricillia Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Darn! My ploy failed. Nice detective work, pricillia. Thanks MH;)
sb129 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Those Lindt dark truffles are to die for. In the UK they have a brand called green and blacks and the dark bar with sour cherries in it is amazing..... Chocolate was not meant to be chewed...

sb129 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Lindt here is a separate brand from Green and Blacks. Both are pretty good. I also like Frys Orange Cream and Raspberry Ruffles... RRs are raspberry coconutty goodness wrapped in dark chocolate mmmmmm
