anybody try those Giant Chocolate bars from Trader Joe's? I think they're excellent and they only cost $4.99 each imported from Belgium

they have Milk Chocolate with almonds, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and Bitter Sweet Chocolate with almonds

Im trying the Bittersweet chocolate w / almonds right now and think they're great

better than American chocolate bars

Thanks for the recommendation - I wish the Dark Choc. had almonds, I think I'll try the bittersweet.

Oh, yes!

Whenever I go to Trader Joe's, I'll pick up one. My favorite is the milk chocolate. I agree the quality of the Belgian chocolate is better than the American-made.

They're great. I buy the milk chocolate & the bittersweet bars all the time.

Good to know. I need to do a TJ's run in a few weeks.

Shhhh... don't let anyone else know. If these get too popular, the prices will go up.

I LOVVVEEE the dark chocolate. Quality is top notch and price is so cheap - coming from someone who brought back a suitcase of chocolate from Belgium.

I am on my 2nd bar in just 2 months. I never imaged eating pounds of chocolate but here I am, addicted and can't stop. HELP!!

Seeing pix of the winter you've had I'm surprised you've been able to limit yourself to one bar a month.

I used to love those things back when I lived close to a TJ. I remember once a cashier picked up my bar, looked at it, gave me a funny look, and went on with her work. I knew exactly what she was thinking - I'm very overweight, I shouldn't be buying huge bars of chocolate ...... so I told her "I'm just holding it for a friend!" (the universal excuse of addicts when their stash is found).

I don't trust anyone who doesn't love chocolate.

There are people who don't love chocolate?
