Used to be Schmidt truffles, but I can't find them here anymore. So now, my absolute favorite are home-made. There's two; one is my grandmother's recipe for corn starch frosting, which is more of a thick fudge-pudding substance.
The other is similar, but lacks the corn starch. Here's the recipe for that one - serves 1.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepot.
Break up 1 square of Baker's unsweetened baking chocolate, toss those into the melted butter and stir constantly while it melts.
Once it's melted, stir in a palmful of confectioner's sugar, a little at a time, until it's absorbed into the chocolate butter.
Add more sugar to taste, eat with the wooden stirring spoon right out of the pot.
dark chocolate,the darker the better...Dove and Bliss
Me too! I am definitely satisfied with these two, low brow thought they may be. And while I do say the darker the better, I had a bar from Trader Joe's that was very high in cocoa and I found it a little bitter....
I'm not a huge chocolate freak...I'll eat it, but I'm not a connoisseur.
The best tasting to me is probably Lindt, Dove, Ghirardelli...the darker the better. I tend to like it with contrasting flavors mixed in, versus straight. Dark chocolate squares with sea salt added, cayenne pepper added, pomegranate seeds added, etc.
I like bittersweet dark chocolate of any kind. If I'm eating milk chocolate, I'd prefer goodies from any of the chocolatiers in my hometown of Erie, Pa.: Pulakos, Stefanelli's, or Romolo. Yum.

Lindt or any Swiss chocolate, I've never had a bad one. All I can find around here is Lindt, which has become popular. Their coconut white is awesome (yeah I know white isn't really chocolate) and their truffles are too.
When I was a little kid, my Swiss relatives used to send boxes full of a large variety of chocolates - so many different fillings! I liked the fruit fillings and hated the coffee-flavored fillings, the liquor-filled ones, and the Toblerone triangles . ..... now I think I would prefer the coffee chocolates.
