I like 37-45%. Too dark is so bitter.
I prefer the rich, dark chocolate balls with the smooth, creamy filling ...

Oooh I do like Lindt!

This is what I prefer:


You should be able to find the bars, but the actual truffles you will have to order online.
Some companies just can't get their chocolate 'right'. I don't like Ghirardelli 75%, but the Moonstruck 68% is wonderful, not bitter at all. There is a chocolate place near me, and all they sell is chocolate. They import the beans, grind them in-house and make solid bars. The lady gave me samples of all the different chocolates. That's how I figured out I like 80%. (The store smells beyond amazing...*drool*)

I'm willing to send you some if you like! She even sells broken bars for baking.

Oh yeah! Just let me know!

I know you and Cav would love it out here, make sure you plan for an extra day to go to Leavenworth, really cute Bavarian town. http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/page ... p?pageid=1
(about 2½ hours East of Seattle).

We'll talk about that, but we didn't even check out Frankenmouth, a "German village" in Michigan, yet ... A pilgrimage to Seattle is definitely in our future.
