Who Makes The Best Chocolate?

[D_Ted Riding Hooded]

SP likes Cadbury's Wispa, btw. Just sayin'.

Love Wispa too Joll, so glad they brought them back, but then I also like Double Deckers and Rowntree's NEVER EVER NESTLES! KitKats!!

Does anyone remember an animated clay figure that sang these words?

N-E-S-T-L-E-S,
Nestlé's makes the very best
Choc-la-la-la-la-aaat!
(Takes bite out of the chocolate truck that he drives. Speaks Mm. And they make pretty good trucks too!

Yes, but Hershey's is the Great American Chocolate Bar!!!!

(Actually, Nestle and Cadberry do it for me)

 

[ronin001]

The only reason I am voting Hershey, is that they have an entire amusement park in PA dedicated to their product. So imagine a morning at the candy factory and the rest of the day on rides that make you want to throw up.

ahhhhhhhhhhh good times good times

It was a puppet.

My parents loved that ad.

I am diabetic... there are no best no-sugar-added chocolates. See's Candy (San Bruno, CA) does make an outstanding NSA peanut brittle.

Milk, Milk, Lemonade

The version for boys was:
Push the button,
Pull the chain,
Out comes chocolate choo-choo train.

I remember the one you mentioned but this is the only thing I could find on youtube! YouTube - Nestle's Christmas Commercial
In terms of Nestles chocolate the candy in the US is crap compared to what they make in Switzerland.

 

[D_Jared Padalicki]

Belgian chocolate, no doubt:
- Côte d'Or
- Neuhaus
- Godiva
- Leonidas

Well, that's creepy enough!

I never noticed until now that they recite the letters N-E-S-T-L-E-S, but they say "Nestlé," without the S on the end. The products are all labeled that way too. So the "S" is only there to make a rhyme, and a defective one at that.

I also really liked the brand Kinder when i was little,it was a milk chocolate egg,with a treat inside.It was delicious,but i don't think they sell them here.

 

[Drifterwood]

I do anything for a Leonidas Orangette.

I am with Max and others, the Belges rule the chocolate waves.

I also have a thing for chilli dark chocolate, say 70%+.

Maybe I should combine the two.

 

[Hoss]

It will change according to my mood, there are times I crave extremely sweet and then there are times I prefer the natural state. I move from brand to brand with but 1 requirement and that is that it's dark chocolate.

Drifter--

I forgot about Mexican-style!

Which is a shame, because Mexico is where Chocolate is from.

Now I need spiced cocoa (thank God we have sugar-free nestle's and cinnamon sticks!)

Speaking of which, for those of you who have tried Nestle's Abuelits (Mexican-style instant cocoa), isn't it lovely?

 

[RawDog]

Molé should be used more commonly. Love that stuff.

Bend over! :wink:
Orangettes
1 large navel orange
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate

Using a peeler, cut 3-inch long, 3/4-inch wide strips of orange peel from the orange. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil and simmer the orange peels for 10 minutes. Drain the peels, rinse them with cold water, and boil them in fresh water for an additional 10 minutes; repeat this process 1 more time.

Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan and stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reduced in volume just a bit, about 5 minutes. Add the orange peels and continue simmering the mixture for 15 minutes. Transfer the candied orange peel to a wire drying rack and allow it to sit undisturbed for 45 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip the 2/3 of the length of each candied orange strip in the chocolate, leaving 1/3 of the peel exposed, and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
