Several times, I have found products I like, go back the next week for it, and it's not there anymore.

They are "unusual", a bit hard to describe, but quite a wonderful treat hard to reproduce yourself, and with a long history.<br /><br />Sadly our local paper wrote about the Choctal, for VDay 2009, but...forgot to verify the TJ's carries it "seasonally" and they were nowhere to be found, during the winter. I can't wait to try them soon. I have to disagree, we like the Canales, and have served then to many guests, though, yes, some do not like them.

Microwaving them is what is recommended on their box. Dr. Food, I’m hoping I can save a few more people.

Dr. Dad, any relation? Microwaving them is what is recommended on their box.

Lindt's 85% Dark is about the only kind I eat anymore. :) Oh, if you liked those ice creams you might enjoy Stonyfield Farms' Organic After Dark Chocolate ice cream (don't get the yogurt, though). It's thick and yummy! I’m also a big fan of the dark chocolate!
