Favorite Chocolate

I talk about my favorite chocolate bar and my favorite brands of chocolate.

Video I reference:

More information on any chocolate mentioned here is on my chocolate blog:

A lot of people are asking me if I have tried a particular brand or what I think of some particular chocolate, but I cannot answer all of these questions. However, every chocolate I have eaten since 1993 is on my chocolate blog, which has a search bar right at the top. The link to the blog is in this video's description.

Tim subtlety telling us what kind of chocolate to send to him.

Dear Tim, I have spent the last hour searching for SO many god damn brands of chocolates mentioned in here, and I also just ordered some Dark Chocolate Graham Crackers of which I had NO idea were even things that existed and just thank you for illuminating these haha.

They sell Amedei Porcelana 70 made from Criollo for about $12.25 here in Europe. Just in case you're looking for a more affordable supplier, try here:)

"I'm gonna start with my absolute favorite chocolate bar, bar none". Me: Ooh, haven't heard of that one!

I used to work in the Fazer chocolate factory years ago. They were really particular about the quality and the chocolateur would condemn a batch on a whim if it wasn't up to his standard, even if it was destined for the mass market milk chocolate bars. It took a bit of traveling before I realized the bog standard chocolate we've got is relatively high quality.

Must have put on 15 pounds during that stint.

Far out—supercool to see the Whitakers mention! Kiwi here who grew up with Whitakers. When I was a kid they made just one thing, peanut slabs. Every dairy (corner store), sold them, unwrapped, along with lolly mixtures, ice-creams etc and you couldn't buy them in grocery stores for ages. They were a fixture of every pre-millenial kiwi's childhood. Incredibly, I could swear the chocolate still tastes the same today as it did then, where other inferior chocolate like Cadbury has become so sugary you can barely tell it's still chocolate. You are a man of rare taste Mr Cain!

I don't recall ever having a Lindt bar, but their Lindor balls are a traditional stocking stuffer in my family around the winter holidays. Always look forward to having some at Christmas.

Tim, the insanely wide array of facial expressions and sheer passion with which you deliver this lecture about chocolate has absolutely made my day. Thank you!

[CaptainFancyCat]

Yes! Lindt really are great for the price. Before WFH, I always had a bowl of Lindt Truffles at my desk for any passerby.

[Pedone_Rosso]

Lindt, yes!
I had to reach an age when I had some money of my own to freely spend,
before I managed to finally get Lindt's dark chocolate eggs for Easter.
That's because, in my family, the only approved concept regarding processed food buying
was a high weight over price ratio.
But I never went back.

Thanks for your videos!

Love seeing how your face lighten up when talking about chocolate you’re passionate about. Inspiring me to try out a fancier chocolate bar next time I stop by a whole foods

[PrettyTigerlilly]

This is amazing, chilling out listening to Tim tell us about his favorite chocolate. I love it!!

*Edit: I just wanted to add, I made the best brownies in my life once, using Scharffen Berger chocolate.

11:20 You can see the wonderful sparkle come into Tim's eyes.
I love chocolate and what it can do for people! Thanks, Tim!

My mother was born and raised in Finland, and ever since I was little I've been familiar with Fazer. Hands down my favorite milk chocolate, and to this day I get just as excited over a 100 gram bar of Fazer blue as when I was a child. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

When I was growing up in Poland in early 2000s small shops (or sometimes literally just stands) that would sell products from Germany were very popular. They would primarily sell cleaning supplies, laundry detergents etc. since the German ones were higher quality than what was produced for the Polish market. They would also often sell sweets and it was always great when I managed to convince my mom to buy me a bar of Ritter chocolate. They also would often sell this coffee and cream flavored chocolate that had white chocolate on top and normal chocolate on the bottom. Used to love that too though it wasn't as good quality wise as Ritter was.

Also Fazer used to sell those amazing mint chocolate candy that had like a liquid minty filling and came in silver wrappers. Haven't seen them in forever over here but I would go crazy for them as a kid.

[priscr]

Fazer! They make my favourite milk chocolate.
The reason Fazer makes "odd flavour combinations" is because those type of chocolate bars areiä really popular in the nordic countries. I'd recommend their orange milk chocolate bar or Marianne (minty hardcandy bits) milk chocolate bar.

[densandwitch]

You are so wholesome man. An inspiration for game design and now different chocolates I wanna try out. Thank you Tim.

[Jewelsmith]

Lindt is my favorite, too! I'll have to check out some of the others you suggested, since we seem to have a similar palate. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend!

So, a note on the Cadbury's thing. 1. The original factory near Birmingham in the UK still operates and produces. Also all the surrounding railings on the nearby train stations are purple to represent this. 2. Cadbury's got bought out by the Kraft corporation quite a few years ago and since then the quality dropped. So I think the disconnect you get is when you have a Kraft made Cadbury's bar over a proper one made here in the UK :)
