Cote d'Or milk with whole hazelnuts.

Dark for me! If you eat it very slowly and let it melt you can taste all the different "layers" in dark chocolate. It's equal to sipping a glass of fine wine! Of course, if I'm having a bad day, dark or milk chocolate is a must...and lots of it!

Dark all the way.

Yes I like MILK and DARK chocolate and sometimes I feel like a nut sometimes I don't.

Count me among the ones who appreciate the beauty of both milk and dark chocolate.

If I have to choose I'll pick milk chocolate, but Lindt dark chocolate truffles are incredible!

Especially Dagoba's Eclipse (87%) or Xocolatl (74% Chilies and Nibs)

Dark chocolate is the best, but anything made of "real" chocolate (not that awful waxy stuff) is heaven.

Dark chocolate gives a bigger kick, and it's healthier, too!

milk, which i am eating right now.

I prefer milk chocolate

milk chocolate is bliss!

If you opened a big box of chocolates in front of me, I would eat two DARK for every one MILK chocolate gem I ate. If you opened a box of all milk chocolates in front of me, I'd eat those too. I love most chocolate, but my favorite is DARK!! And yes, I preferred it over milk long before it was cool!

Love dark chocolate the most.

usually i would say milk, but i am in a dark mood today.

Dark, preferably Belgian, chocolate will send me to Nirvana every time! I call it Mother's little helper!

dark, milk, anything but white, which is not chocolate at all.

Honestly, I didn't even used to be a huge chocolate person. I would ONLY choose milk when I did eat it, but even that was on rare occasions. Then I retasted dark chocolate after a ten-year hiatus (I had hated it since I had tasted it for the first time in second grade). I LOVED it and now I'm addicted. Dark chocolate all the way, any time!

Definately milk chocolate
