cadbury for me and the second is my crush favorite hersheys
FYI:
Is chocolate healthier than green tea?
"Chocolate contains up to four times the anti-oxidants found in tea." Sound too good to be true? In fact, that was the conclusion of a recent study by Holland's National Institute of Public Health and Environment. Researchers found that chocolate - specifically dark chocolate - contains 53.5 mg of catechins per 100 grams. (Catechins are the powerful anti-oxidants that help prevent against cancer and heart disease). By contrast, 100 ml of black tea contains a mere 13.9 mg of catechins.
Eating chocolate to stay healthy? Well, why not? Scientists have established that there are important health benefits to be gained from drinking red wine, so why not chocolate as well? But I wouldn't trade my morning cup of tea for a box of truffles just yet. For one thing, as Karen Allen points out in a report for the BBC, the amount of cocoa powder in chocolates may be quite small. Chocolates often contain other ingredients, such as saturated fats, that more than outweigh the health benefits to be gained from cocoa's cancer-fighting chemicals.
More importantly, the Dutch researchers were not comparing chocolate to green tea, which is rich in catechins. Furthermore, evidence is mounting that scientists have only begun to discover the numerous health benefits associated with drinking green tea. Still, a cup of green tea with a chocolate biscuit or a piece of dark chocolate sounds like a great way to begin the day!

As much as I enjoy discussions about chocolate, I still removed your link as it pointed to some site that THEN redirected to a chocolate quiz. If you'd like, you can post the quiz link, but not the link to your page.

On that note, I'm a dark chocolate fan. 75% cocoa or more.
Though I am certainly enjoying these mini eggs.

I'm a milk chocolate fan - especially chocolate Easter bunnies! But I do eat the 60% + chocolate as well. I can tell you that I am officially a chocoholic.

Actually, it's dark chocolate in small amounts that is best for you. One piece a day.

there is a new brand of chocolate from austria:
ZOTTER
if you ever want to try really, really good chocolate give this one a go. he only uses topp-quality materials, the minimum he uses is 75 % and he is also not afraid of some experiments........ e.g.: 80% dark chocolate with a banana-curry filling......yummy!!!

I used to go to the store and buy 20 bars at a time but ever since I bought a treadmill I found it to be counter productive  Now I measure calories in terms of walking time and that tends to be incentive enough not to eat them.
However, I love most kinds of chocolat
