White chocolate isn't really chocolate - it's like super-concentrated buttercream cake frosting. But oh my, melt a bit of it in your morning coffee; oh joy oh bliss oh sweet delight :-)

True chocolate must contain cocoa aka theobroma (food-of-the-gods).

Nerdy Aspie unsolicited helpful response: The theobroma alkaloids in chocolate are chemically related to caffeine and theophylline - and theophylline is an Rx for asthma. So, if you're out of your Rx, wash down some dark chocolate with strong coffee - seriously. It'll help til you get to the drugstore. [/nerdy Aspie unsolicited helpful response]

Dark chocolate, specifically the crunchy kind that doesn’t melt easily...you bite it and it breaks off!

Dark chocolate since I'm lactose intolerant. White chocolate usually contains milk.

I like all chocolate, even the time I had chocolate with chili pepper.

Yes, I agree, dark chocolate is superior. Both taste and health wise.

I'm mostly into milk and white chocolates, especially if they are Kit-Kats, dairy milk or milky-bar

Milk, can't stand white chocolate. Dark is ok if it is flavoured with orange.

There is also Pink (or "Ruby") now, i haven't tested it yet.

Milk and white. I can eat dark chocolate out of politeness if someone offers me a piece or if I want chocolate really bad yet only have dark chocolate for some reason, but usually I avoid it.

I prefer milk chocolate. I can't eat the other two on its own; I find they go better with things. I like dark chocolate with mint, and white chocolate and raspberry ice cream bars.

I like dark chocolate of many variations better than most. The darker and/or bitter, the better. Heck, I'd even like alcoholic chocolates. :lol: Just no fruit flavors added or anything cool/spicy. Except, perhaps, orange flavor...
And what's ironic is that barely stand actual alcoholic beverages and flavors. :twisted: Maybe I just like it's bitterness and warm like spicy sensation if it's blended with chocolate.

I wonder.. Certain types of unsweetened creamy milk sort of improves my executive functioning. Why is that?? Except I wouldn't drink them on daily basis. :lol: I don't like milk flavors.
