Dark, duh.  Milk chocolate is only acceptable in certain recipes.

White chocolate isn't even chocolate.

Milk chocolate is worth eating, dark chocolate is not. I'd take caramel /toffee flavor over either.

I know, but I thought people would complain if I left it out.

I also voted for Dark.

Dark.  But there should be a Jaron option.

More appropriately a J.R. option.

I voted in line with the British tradition.  :bowler:

Dark Chocolate is like Black Licorice....your grandfather eats it.

At the end of day, Languish will still be a Milk Chocolate place.

When I come across a Hershey's assorted bag, I eat the plain dark chocolates but not the plain milk chocolates.

Speaking of marketing gimics like white chocolate, given the drubbing brown diamonds got in the movie Beautiful Girls I was surprised to see jewelers trying to push them again.

I prefer dark, but within reason.  I think 90% cocoa content chocolate is a bit of an overkill.

Milk chocolate is a delicious treat. Dark chocolate is some kind of self-flagellation. White chocolate is only acceptable lining Kinder eggs.

I'd like my Easter egg to be Suchard, please, or failing that Lindt.

White chocolate is just fat, we should refer to it as such.

Milk if eaten by itself, Dark when coupled with something else.

Hey, well done - you broke my moment of indecision over whether or not I preferred milk or dark chocolate with this comment.

Voted milk just to prove you wrong about the wine comment. :P

I like them both, so something has to act as a tiebreaker for a poll such as this.

Not really interested in chocolate per se...........however I do like hot chocolate as in the drink. For some obscure reason hot chocolate is actually better made by machines in crappy railway and motorway service stations than that available from any other source. So, once or month or so, when I find myself in one of those benighted places, I have a giant mug of the stuff with choccy flakes on top  :cool:

Milk chocolate, for eating by itself. In some things, dark is better, but voted milk.

QuoteWhite chocolate contains 150 calories, 9 g of fat, 5 g of saturated fat, 17 g of carbohydrates, no fiber, and 1 g of protein per 1-ounce square. Milk chocolate has exactly the same amount of calories per serving, with about the same amounts of the different nutrients. Dark chocolate containing between 70 percent and 85 percent cocoa contains slightly more calories, more fat, more protein, more fiber and fewer carbohydrates -- approximately 167 calories, 11.9 g of fat, 6.9 g of saturated fat, 12.9 g of carbohydrates, 3.1 g of fiber and 2.2 g of protein per ounce.

I really like both, I don't eat many sweets but have a strong love for them. I'd say I'm more likely to eat milk chocolate than dark chocolate, so that's how I voted, but I really do like both varieties equally and will gorge on it when appropriate.

Whenever I quit smoking, I'd keep a jar of Hershey's Kisses on the desk.  Helped with the cravings.

Used to be M&M's, but they were too easy to suck down en masse.  Kisses, you have to spend the time unwrapping them.
