Chocolate and what?

What are your favourite 'chocolate and something' mixes? It could be in biscuits/cookies, chocolate boxes, hot drinks ... your choice!

Especially my husband's most excellent chocolate cookies and his perfect coffee blend. I have no idea how he makes either of these, but the cookies are right between the consistency of a cake and candy bar, and the coffee is this nice blend of light and dark tastes. They are both great on their own -- but together, pure heaven!

I have this at least once a week when I have the house to myself (which is only once a week these days anyways)--my sinful pleasure snack. I take a chocolate bar (only a Hershey bar will do) and smother it in creamy Peanut Butter, pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds and then dig in. A wonderfully, delectable, sinful, pleasurable, delicious snack . My grandmother did this for me when I was little. Hard to give up tradition  . Ahhh, I feel a craving coming on Ataahua!

chocolate with anything. But it must not be dark chocolate--too bitter, usually.
For ice cream, I'll take vanilla with chocolate and caramel chunks. All the fattening things.

 ...lemme think and give an order of preference...au naturale, chocolate with (or in) coffee, fruit, other chocolate, mint, caramel, nuts. With spices--sounds like something to try. Keep nasssssttty liquorice.
My nick is batik and I am a chocoholic

I just finished off an evening snack. The craving just wouldn't go away. My youngest son joined me in splitting a Hershey bar smothered with peanut butter. I have a feeling he will be up all night. Oh, well...it is summer vacation, so he deserves a little bending of the bedtime curfew rules once in a while!

I'm only pondering on the chocolate with liquorice. I do love liquorice but I can't remember ever combining it with chocolate and I'm not sure about it.
And I have to add with milk. Chocolate milk on a cold winter day, add some whipped cream and I'm in heaven.

You're making me quite hungry!
Now, when are the two of you going to open that B&B so we can all come up and enjoy your hubby's cooking?
(Really, I'm starting to plan this out: day 1, stop at Misty Mountain's Adirondack bakery and cabins; day 2, head to yours along the border...well, maybe two days at each place...)

I was going to ask "why ruin something so tasty" but then I realized that it IS possible to improve chocolate ... by adding more chocolate.

I don't usually mix my chocolate with anything, but I do love it combined with raspberry. I can't remember the name of it, but Godiva has a really lovely chocolate/raspberry piece. Yummy! And I have to admit, although I really don't care for peanut butter otherwise, chocolate and peanut butter was a match made in heaven.
Also, hot chocolate mixed with coffee is a very nice change from just plain coffee.

But I also love mocha. I've even used coffee instead of water to make hot chocolate. I can't think of any pair of flavors that make a better match. Unfortunately, my stomach is super sensitive to coffee so I only drink it when I've pulled an all-nighter.
I also love mint (especially dark) chocolate. While I like chocolate fondue with fruit, it's even better with salty snacks like nuts, crackers and chips. Yes, you read it right, chips. Especially tortilla and pita. I feel like salt gives a nice contrast to the sweetness and brings out more cocoa flavors. When I make fondue, I usually dump some chocolate chips (usually Ghirardhelli) in a bowl and microwave them. Then put some nuts in and just scoop into your mouth.
I'm not a big fan of caramel or licorice. But either of those is way better than white chocolate.

Oh, the [white]Cinnamon & Blood Orange, White Blueberry, and the White Lemon & Lime with it's tiny hit of black pepper! But they're gone, and we're lost, preciousss...

I don't mind having white hot chocolate, though I wouldn't eat it in any other form. Sure, I still prefer regular hot chocolate but I enjoy the white version too.

I prefer my chocolate unadulterated. If you absolutely have to add something, I suppose you could add nuts. I also prefer milk chocolate to any other kind.

Just as many would be vegetarians relapse with bacon, I find mint chocolate chip ice cream ruins even my most fervent dieting intentions.
