Last night our neighbors came back from a vacation in Europe. They brought "us" a box of milk chocolate from Belgium. After they left, I reached to open the celophane covering the individually wrapped pieces, getting my hand slapped. My owner, with a feral gleam in her eye, snatched the package, saying sagely: "MINE". We were due to have friends arriving within about 15 minutes, so, I asked (not unreasonably): "aren't we going to share these with our friend?". My owner replied: "NO, MINE", snarling and glaring at me. After backing slowly away, I responded bravely: "whatever you say, dear". Does anybody ELSE have this kind of reaction to fancy chocolate?

What reaction? Your owner seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner

I agree completely! My hubby isn't really into chocolate anyway, the one I have to worry about is our 17 year old daughter. I have to hide it when it's in the house!
maisky go get your self a bag of DOVE DARK chocolate..... and say MINE!!! mmmmmmm just let them melt in yer mouth...... dark chocolate has it all over milk chocolate... and dove is the best....... once you try it you will never go back to milk chocolate....
ps dark chocolate is full of anti oxidents.... what ever the hell they are.....

aye i have tried godiva, ghirardelli's as many different chocolates as i can get me wee hands on...... but i gotta say DOVE DARK beats them all .... hands down. i will say ghirardelli's is definately top drawer....beats out godiva by a good margin.... godiva is a bit waxy much like hershey.... or nestles... i dont even put hersheys in the catagory of chocolate......
I must agree with the rest of the women's opinions on this page about chocolate. I live in a suite with three other girls and there is one thing that doesn't stay long in our room and which we do not share with the other people on our floor...Chocolate

chocolate is sooo much more than mere candy!!!
and there ya have it another mans opinion.....
Judging by the reaction of the ladies who have posted here, my friend, it may be a bad idea to post where you keep your chocolate. I have a strange feeling it won't be kept there long if you do.
Personally, I really like Dove. It's a bit of a delicacy around this house. I'm also a fan of the combination of mint and chocolate. Ritter Sports anyone?
Maisky it isn't JUST chocolate, I tend to do that a lot. I think it is very agreeable.I think you should go buy something off the wonderful web site MDF3530 gave us. Thanks MDF3530! I love their white chocolate and the dark.. Just when it was diet time...
I guess I'm pretty easy where chocolate is concerned... I don't care what brand it is, I love it anyway! Not crazy about white choclate though, might as well be pure sugar with a little milk flavoring!

My thoughts exactly, Wizard. I have never thought of white chocolate as real chocolate, it just does not have the same taste!

Did you know that white chocolate is the only chocolate a alcoholic can have? Thought that was kind of interesting. You described white chocolate to a tee! And it is sweet!
