I'm pretty easy-going when it comes to chocolate. I do like the milk and not-too-dark varieties best, but other than that I think they're all pretty good. Like books or friends or wines, in different situations depending on one's mood or whatnot, they each have their strengths.
I discovered Green & Black's this past summer, in the exotic otherness of ParkNShop, and while I haven't yet tried many of G&B's varieties (with orange and spices, Blackbird?!), their creamy vanilla white is high on my list of favorites. Hershey's is what I grew up on as to bar chocolate, so I cook with it and find that it makes an excellent cup of hot chocolate -- comfort food, indeed!
This chocolate moment comes via Show and Tell --
we are friends with an english couple who are mad for hershey bars, which we think is ridiculous as we adore Cadbury Crunchies!
I forgot to mention Crunchies!

Green and Black have recently introduced a new flavour in the UK, which is dark chocolate with cherries. It is bliss. Do you know they do ice cream as well?

All chocolate, as long as it's REAL chocolate is good! I kinda-sorta posted mine today (late)

I was going to say my post is up, but then I read Helen's comment and my brain exploded.
