As I type this, I am eating a Villars chocolate bar I bought last week in the Lake Geneva area. The one I am enjoying now is filled with apricot brandy, and the one with cognac is good too.
As for which type of chocolate is best, I'm probably not a good person to ask, since I've never met a chocolate bar I didn't like.

P_M... yuuum... slurp , you make my mouth water...
Among my favourite are CAFFAREL which I think is belgian and which has among its dozens kinds of chocolates the famous and delicious Gianduiotti (the former italian chocolate society I was told once was taken over by Caffarel...). In Germany I loved the popular "Milka" bar.
But now that I think of it... hey guys, how about TOBLERONE??? for years it was my fave until I tasted the praline bar from Frey..... still Toblerone is my second fave...

Ohmygosh, what a wonderful thread. I love Rittersport too, especially the dark chocolate bar with hazelnuts. Trader Joe's has them here in CA for exactly double the cost of buying them in Germany. Next on my list is the liqueur-filled Lindt bars, available in grocery stores in Switzerland and sometimes available in the US. But my absolute fave is Jean Paul Hevin in Paris. Did someone mention chocolate?

I second stardust on the belgian chocolate in general, but as we both are belgians... but I am very happy to announce that my neighbour here in switzerland is an acknowledged european-class chocolate chief, which is something very pleasant to have as a neighbour...

In Germany there is also Feodora, which is more expensive than an ordinary Ritter Sport, but very tasty. They have bright yellow packaging. Their thin bars, each of them packed separately, are to die for.

In Switzerland: Lindt Kirsch Batons. Kirsch in chocolate (with sugar crusted on the inside) rolled in dark chocolate dust. I rarely get them because I can't get enough of them! Sold in Co-op but not in Migros.

You heard it here first. There's more evidence that chocolate is good for you!

You are speaking my language. Lindt is my favorite; I love the milk chocolate truffles. I may have to change, though, since it is the dark chocolate that is good for you. Ritter's mint bars aren't bad.
