THAT'S IT!  I've now been driven to my box of See's candy, which I got for my birthday, for the second time today. Spiff, you ARE evil. Fat city, here I come!   It's hell being a chocoholic.

One nice thing about having family in the candy buissness is when I do go there my uncle gives me free bags of the seconds, as he calls them.Their not perfect to the eye but they still taste as good

See's are really good too. There are See's candy shops all over the place here in LA.

Those chocolates really look good. Are they mail order only and what truffles do you recommend?
I may get them for Valentine's day. I get a subwoofer, my wife gets really expensive chocolates.

My sister is in the Bay area. She's the one who sends me the See's candy (actually, this time, she brought it with her). I gotta stop reading this thread. I'm tempted to hit the box a third time. AAARRRRRGGGGHHH!

Ajax...There have been many studies linking cocoa with health benefits. The darker chocolate with the most concentrated cocoa will of course be the most beneficial.
Go for it!

Someone PLEASE give me $113.00 for 1.76 lbs of chocolate truffle nirvana.
I'm with you on the chocolate snobbery Spiff (damn living in europe with access to affordable and amazing belgian, french, and swiss chocolate). Milk chocolate, white chocolate? Pfft. 75% cocao is heaven.
Have you tried Scharffen Berger. They are my current favorite (and bay area based).

Scharffen Berger is soooo good. Have you taken the factory tour?
