This just came into me when I started to think about my favorite chocolate. The blue Hershey's Symphony w/ Toffee. It's just heaven for me. The sweet taste of chocolate and the toffee is just inexplicable. I feel this way since this has eluded me for years! My goodness! Do you have a favorite chocolate that you haven't tasted in a while and you have a hard time finding?
It's my all time favorite chocolate but I can't find one here in our country. After about 12 years or so, since I started to love that chocolate, I've seen it on sale just once... I always had to wait for my relatives to visit us from the states and bring some for me.

huhuhuh... yeah. You got the smiley sis. It's really hard. I like other chocolates as well. I even had a sad story about Ferrero. Well just to give you a clue, it concerns the heart shaped one... oh well, it's in the past. Have you tried the big big toblerone? that was cool, we got one years ago at the airport. Take care sis!

ahahah. yeah! I think that is the one that is about 2-3 feet long. I had a hard time finishing it but eventually did. Same goes for the huge kiss. I didn't know how to eat it as I'm used to just swallow a kiss whole.

Hi kaezy! chocolate addict! jk! Yeah, hershey's chocolate is real good. I like chocolate in general as well but Symphony just stands out. I'd trade maybe 5 M&Ms or more for a bar of Symphone. hihihih...

Hi pooh! Yeah, now that you mentioned it, I don't prefer Dark chocolates but I still like 'em. Especially Lindt with 70% cocoa. It's just plain good!!!

i like those dark chocolates one. any brand will do as long as it is dark. but good news for you. pinks discovered a really cheap but very good chocolate that is locally made. and it is one of my favorite too. it's made by goya. the dark mint. i think it has this black and green package. it has 9 pieces and only cost 25 pesos. try it and you'll love it. i was skeptic at first but when i've tried it. wow. i realize we can also create a good tasting chocolate after all. try it. make sure you buy at least 2 because 1 will not be enough.lol. have a good day:)

Really? Thanks for that info. I'll be going to shopwise later and try to look for it. I think I saw that already but I'm not sure. Is it the one what looks like chocnut (package-wise)? I like dark chocolate as well but not as much as milk chocolate. I like Lindt with 70% cocoa though. It is good.

I knew I missed it! I got the black & white one. When I opened it, it looked more like milk chocolate. I'm really sleepy. I went straight to shopwise after shift. Mine was the one with 9 pcs with both white and dark chocolate. But still, they are pretty good!

When my uncle and went to France for their honeymoon, they gave me this chocolate, Richart, and it's amazing! Totally mouth-watering! It became an instant hit with me, and i diciede that it's my official favorite chocolate. But the thing is, it's only sold in France and is quite expensive ($120 per pound, says my uncle). Good thing uncle promised to buy for me everytime he goes to france.

Wow... based from your description, it seems really worth to try. It's the first time I've heard of it though and yeah, that is quite a hefty price. $120 is too much especially here. I saw merci here in our country, a chocolate with a mix of candy. It's really sweet. I'd love to try it out. Just a tip would do (or what we'd say 'isang tipak').

Yeah, toffee is like the cherry on top of a cake. It makes it sweeter right? And it makes us want more. I oftentimes finish a 1/2 lb or more in one sitting. I got really big.

Thanks for that info. I didn't actually know that it's true. Well, at first I didn't like dark chocolate since it's a bit bitter compared to plain milk chocolates. I do like it now as well. Thanks.

Hi Zeroflashx, I have been a very naughty girl today as I don't usually eat chocolate but I have eaten a whole bar of Cadbury's fruit & nut this afternoon. It isn't my favourite either, my favourite I would say was Terry's chocolate orange, but it was on offer when I went to get some bread and grabbed it and ate the lot. My daughter has been to New York and boutght back some Hershey's with her and she thought it was wonderful too. Lets hope you have a relative visit you soo n with some eh! Ellie :D

Is it the same as the picture I got? Looks good and it's packaging is interesting. uhm.. It doesn't have chocolate seeds right? just kiddin'. I'm not sure when the earliest time will be. My aunt, uncle and cousin just visited us last march-april and I had 5 bars of blue symphony. It was chocolate heaven. I don't know when the others would visit us. Hopefully soon. :) Take care and enjoy ur chocolate!
