Who makes the Best Chocolate?
What's the best chocolate? Whichever one we're eating!
Okay, so that's not entirely true. We consider ourselves chocolate snobs... most of the time. We're not above grabbing a Hershey's if the need arises, but it certainly isn't our brand of choice. And we aren't going to look down our noses at you if you think Hershey makes the best chocolate.
We tend to favor brands that use organic, Fair Trade ingredients, and brands that just plain taste good.
The following are some of our favorites (click to see our reviews):
Dagoba
Chocolove
Lake Champlain
Green and Black's
Valrhona
Callebaut
Le Chocolatier (Canada)
Wiseman House Chocolates
The truly snobby chocolate snobs will probably complain that we are missing their favorite brand, but 1) we don't like snobby chocolate snobs, and 2) we also like these brands because many are readily available natural foods stores. When you live in a small town, that counts for a lot. Check out our Where to Buy page if you have trouble finding these.
These we will happily eat anytime:
Blanxart
Kshocolat
Scharffenberger
Terra Nostra
Newman's Own
Equal Exchange
Betsy Ann Chocolates
The jury's still out on these; we haven't tried enough to be sure:
Rapunzel
Vivani
Chocolat Weiss
The following we avoid like the plague:
Godiva
In a pinch, we'll take whatever we can get our hands on, as long as it passes our Chocolate 101 test. Our ratings are determined using the Chocolate 102 test.
We add new reviews often, and you'll find the best of the best (and the worst of the worst)!
