Dark, dark, dark! Get that milk crap away from me!

Thank me later.
As long as it's not white, I'm pretty much in (though I often don't love chocolate ice cream).
As a general matter, I will skip past any non-chocolate desserts when ordering from a menu, with a very limited handful of exceptions.
If choosing the dessert to be made, like say for my birthday, it will 100% always include chocolate.
Chocolate cream pie is the best pie (fight me).
Banana pudding is actually one of the non-chocolate things on my list...my mother makes fantastic homemade stuff.
Apple pie is good, and I eat it at Thanksgiving, etc., but it's not something I dream about the way I dream about chocolate.
Pound cake, you can have. I don't care who made it.
Give me a piece of 60% Cacao and I'm content. Anything darker is too bitter. Don't add mint or almonds, it ruins it. Milk chocolate OK in a pinch, but just not the same satisfaction.
My two exceptions are homemade banana pudding and Kilwin's salted caramel ice cream.
I come from a long line of chocoholics. It is in my genes. Milk>dark. White is horrible. Nothing beats a good chocolate cake. Chocolate chip cookies are great. I have strong opinions on the merits of different chocolate bars. Entenmann's devil's food donuts with the crumbs on them are a personal favorite but very hard to find. I forego a lot of other foods and drinks to indulge my chocolate habit and not be morbidly obese.
As a chocoholic who is always looking for a good deal, I am kicking myself for recently forgetting one of my three favorite days of the year - day after Valentine's Day, day after Easter and day after Halloween - when all of the chocolate they are selling is suddenly half off because the holiday is over.
1. Dark
2. White
3. Skip chocolate and have something else
How long will it be until someone starts the Ymm, Cannabis thread?
Chocoholics run in the family. My mother was one. She was quite content with Hershey Kisses. Godiva chocolates were wasted on her. I would go for the Godiva, better yet Panache*, over Hershey Kisses if they are available (and I'm not paying).

Dark all the way. With heat whenever possible.
Current favorite chocolate bar is one called Firecracker, by Chuao chocolatier. Dark chocolate with cayenne pepper and pop rocks. Amazing. Starts with a smooth, rich dark chocolate taste, then the heat begins to come through. At the very end you get the little explosions.
This is a must-try if you like chocolate and you like spicy food. The pop rocks at the end just add an element of fun.
I hate the taste of coffee, and dark chocolate is basically just coffee in bar form. White chocolate is perfectly good almond roca but with all the almonds sucked out. Edible, but why?
Low melting-point milk chocolate, on the other hand? Awesome. Add a couple of filberts (as my father would say), and it achieves perfection.
Chocolate is always tasty with peanut butter.
Have you eaten banana pudding cake? My wife's cousin owns a bakery in downtown W/S and Mrs. jvoo1 is helping her out a couple of days a week. They have a banana pudding cake that everyone loves. I've not had it because I'm hooked on their chocolate eclair. I evidently got the chocolate craving from my Mom.
Not a betting man. I'm unlucky. In raffles or things of that nature, I never win. However, years ago the Moose Lodge would raffle off a new truck. The way it worked was the Lodge sold $100 tickets and then on set night they drew out tickets. If your ticket was pulled you were out of the running for the truck. On two such nights, our tickets were left in the bucket until there were 3 left. At that time, if you wanted to sell your ticket or buy someone else ticket you had 10 minutes to make the deal. Both times we sold our tickets for over $1000. That's the only kind of bet I win. As for the banana pudding cake, if you're in W/S I can get you a deal on one.
