As there seem to be alot of chocolate lovers here, I ask this question. Who makes the best chocolate? We have a couple of local chocolate makers here, who are both great. Here in Rochester is Andy's Candies. Great stuff! In Batavia, where I grew up is Oliver's candies..been around for years. www.oliverscandies.com It is a toss up for me as to which is better.

I will be in Batavia today, so I will be stopping at Oliver's. Time for a taste test.

*lining up to sample the list*



Here, we have Godiva. But I have tasted much better. I still prefer Sees candy, it is so yummy.

That is why I linked to Oliver's website..yes they ship anywhere.

Surely home-made is the way to go on this. How can shop-bought beat home-made?

Actually I don't have a sweet tooth at all, am I a freak of nature?? :-3

Spot, I am sure they could survive the short journey to Hereford and then I could sample them and give everyone my completely unbiased verdict!

Might as well confess here that as long as it's chocolate I pretty well much don't care who makes it, never found a chocolate yet that I didn''t like. (Don't like nuts but you can always let the choccie melt in your mouth and then spit the nut out!)

Milk, Dark, White or even chocolate truffles are all o.k. as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sure you clean up a treat. Is that really you in the pic??

A friend used to bring me chocolates from Belgium, they were like heaven on my tongue. :-4

Don't suppose licking counts, does it?

Nah, my hands are clean, I'm a very clean lady!

No that isn't me, found it on the web. Don't think I was ever that sweet, although I have certainly been that grubby!

We don't have a any chocolate makers in our area, so I usually buy the chocolate bricks and make my own confections.

And when I'm in a pinch a good ole Nestle Crunch bar. :wah:
