Intense Dark Hazelnut Chocolate

When I took a ride with my neighbor the other day, I picked up a few things I found on sale. These chocolate bars are rarely on sale here. There are a few brands I enjoy. One of my favorites is the Ghirardelli Intense Dark Hazelnut bars. They had a BOGO, (buy one get one free) special. So I bought two. Both are in the refrigerator now. Hazelnut is one of my many favorites. They are very rich and only a bite or two at a time is all I can handle. So these will last awhile. Very good chilled in the frig. Especially this time of year. And the heatwave has started today. 90's for at least three days. Do you have a favorite treat to share? I only buy these when they are on sale. Photo is mine.

Ghirardelli chocolate is good, the company is wholly owned by Swiss confectioner Lindt & Sprüngli and the dark hazelnut chocolate by Lindt is really good. My favorite is plain dark chocolate 85% dark.

@CarolDM Lindt acquired Ghirardelli Chocolate Company in 1998. I also love hazelnuts.

I did not know that Lindt owned the company. How interesting. I like the less intense. But I love hazelnut and this is all they had.

@CarolDM I always liked chocolate and still eat them but have to control my desire to control my weight.

@aninditasen Oh I understand. This dark chocolate is healthy and I only eat it every now and then. It has been years since I bought this type. Only a small piece at a time.

Not at the moment...Dark chocolate is so good for you, I wish I liked it more. I have some now, but to me it tastes like baking chocolate..not really sweet at all.

It is not real sweet and that is why I enjoy it. Especially the hazelnut.

90s ! It seems that we have in fact slightly lower temperatures than what you are getting although it could get warmer fast here. I think I have seen this brand in stores, but it is quite costlier. So I might have to plan buying it sometime in the future and enjoy it ! Have a nice Tuesday! Say a big Hello to Brendel and Dude

I love chocolate. My favorites are the See's brand truffles. And Lindt is good too. I have heard that dark chocolate is better for you. I just don't care for the flavor as much. One of my favorite treats is the Voortman Bakery brand of Chocolate wafers. Very tasty with tea or coffee.

I tend to prefer York Peppermint Patties for candy. In the other treats department, I’m addicted to Yasso frozen yogurt bars (especially the caramel swirl), but they’re getting so expensive I’m losing my addition quickly.

Oh I love those peppermint patties too chilled in the frig. These were on sale, they are never on sale. I used to like to crumble them in chex mix and other items. It has been awhile. I hardly eat sweets any more.
