[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Chocolate Search

 marion11111 goes out on a limb:

 
OK, OK I'll just *say* it.  I like Hersheys.  I prefer milk chocolate and maybe it's nostalgia, 

 but a Hershey bar is my idea of chocolate.  I like the skinniness or the bar and the snap.  ...
 

... I have to admit, I was 

 enchanted when I saw Moonstruck chocolates in Macy's last Christmas and bought a 

 bunch of the little mice and kittens and other cute shapes.  Maybe I got a stale batch, but 

 they were the worst expensive chocolates I'd ever eaten.  They tasted like they had sand in 

 them!  I've never had the bars - maybe they're better.

 

Kemper now:
Marion, I'm a bit torn.
I can understand liking Hershey's from a nostalgic point of view: growing up with it, experiencing happy memories.  
I hope that what you experienced was chocolate that wasn't taken care of while at Macy's as I don't think it was a stale batch.  
That said, if you genuinely like Hershey's even after tasting other brands of chocolate, then I have to question your chocolate tastes.  I mean no disrespect.  I like art but I can't tell the difference between Monet's and Manet's self portrait. 

On a side note to all in the thread, I prefer chocolate bars over truffles.  Except for Moonstruck's Chile Variado, I prefer my chocolate pure without the imperfections of fruits, nuts, cremes and liqueurs.

Kemper, who does admire marion's stepping out on limb :)
