Tomorrow we start making our holiday flavored toffees. I have my preferences and my partner has hers. Now, what's Languish's?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Ah, so you're actually starting a toffee business.

To answer the question, I don't like dark chocolate.

Not starting; building on what was already there.

My partner/boss started the business seven years ago. She's now at a point where she really has to build it up to meet demand. I'm her first minion.  :menace: Though, technically, I'm sort of a partner, since I have stock in the company.

And we have milk chocolate, too. I suppose you could vote using that, instead. I just prefer dark. :D

As in all together in 1 or as in 3 separate pieces packaged together?

Other - Jalapeño and cheese.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Orange, mint, and coffee all work.  I recently went to a place that sells dark chocolate infused with all sorts of Chinese tea flavours.  Excellent.

Mint is the most "posh" one, I think - it gives a unique taste so pick it if you want to show off to your guests/customers.

Personally, I'd go for cinnamon or coffee, because these are my favorite flavors to go with dark chocolate. I am not a big fan of combining dark chocolate and fruit tastes, but it's just my personal preference.

Edit: I haven't tried yet dark chocolate and chili. I planned to get it many times but never had enough courage - I fear it may taste like crap. :P

No worried Martinus.  I've tried dark chocolate mixed with chili.  It sucks big time.

Coffee. Fruits generally don't mix well with any chocolate.

Orange, preferably blood orange, although that's a bit more difficult to get.

As for rum, I think it (as well as other liquors) works best with chocolate when used as a liquid filling. As a flavoring, though, not so much, as they sweeten the whole thing too much, in my opinion and do not contribute that much to the flavor otherwise.

None.
