Chocolate

[HiroTheProtagonist]

My very first job as a teenager was working in an artisanal chocolate store, primarily doing maintenance work but also operating the enrober and jockeying the register. Great gig, and it gave me a real appreciation for just how good small batch chocolates can be. I've been trying to eat less sugar over the years, but luckily for me the store still stands and they've got a decent selection of sugar-free chocolates that are genuinely as good as the real thing.

Also, Chili Dark Chocolate is a fantastic confection. I still remember encountering it for the first time on a trip to Canada in the early 2000s and assuming it was supposed to be a prank, but thank god enough people have seen the light.

Trader Joe’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I’m a heathen.

I prefer their dark chocolate ones, but even the milk chocolate ones are head and shoulders above Reese's. IIRC they also used to have these milk chocolate candies shaped like peanuts filled with peanut butter and crispy rice, and I'd routinely buy two bags every time I went because one bag wouldn't survive the drive home.
