You left out Moser Roth

A New York Times feature (gift link): “The Only Chocolate Bars Worth Buying.” It is to laugh:

We asked 43 culinary professionals to tell us their favorite brands available in the United States. Below, their top nominations under $25, from least to most votes.
Missing from the selections: Moser Roth 70% Dark Chocolate. That’s Aldi’s house brand, now $3.29 a bar, I think (up from $1.99 not that long ago). Amazon sells two bars for $16.39 (!). Still under $25. And it’s really, really good.

I don’t pay much attention to the price of Moser Roth. I just grab a stack of six or eight bars and make sure that they’re all 70%. Our household splits one square a day, with the fun challenge of getting the snap exact.

Tony's Milk Chocolate w/ Caramel and Sea Salt is close to our house bar. That every piece is a different shape makes it all the more wonderful.

I've had some variety of Tony’s — it was good. What’s your house chocolate?

ChasM said...

I meant that Tony's is our favorite, sorry. Especially when on sale. Gits boxes of See's also don't last the week.

Ah, now I understand. I’m going to look for Tony’s when we go shopping this afternoon.
