I voted other. I think coffee is my favorite.
I once had a gourmet chocolate with peanut butter, sea salt, and bacon. Yum!
I voted for banana but really it’s like asking which of my children I love the most.
Agreed. Chocolate and peanut butter is heavenly, but chocolate with whole peanuts inside is…ok. Not crazy about it but I’ll eat it if it’s there.
I don’t hate a single entry on that list, though I’ve never had banana. I voted for raspberries.
I’ve become a fan of Mexican chocolate, sometimes with a pinch of cayenne.
Chocolate and salt cannot be beat. I chose peanut butter and pretzels. Bacon, of course, makes a good salty treat too.
I can’t decide which M&Ms I like better…peanut butter or pretzel.
I also voted for coconut. I love coconut!
I’m partial to a lot of the choices in your poll, but my favorite is probably chocolate and peanut butter. I’d also argue that there is a difference between food that is chocolate-covered versus food where the other flavor is incorporated in the chocolate.
I suspect it’s the extra salt in peanut butter which makes it better for chocolate than regular peanuts.
Popcorn also goes well with chocolate, now that I think about it. Tortilla chips, as well (oddly enough).
Other than coconut there isn’t much I don’t like with chocolate, but I like cashews the best with it. It kind of depends. Chocolate is pretty sweet and too often the other ingredients added make it too sweet.
I don’t particularly like the combination of chocolate and fruit, especially the berries. The acidity of the fruit and the creaminess of the chocolate clash too much. But chocolate goes well with just about everything else.
(Especially coconut. Love me some coconut. And chocolate-covered pretzels.)
I think it’s raspberry for me, but my love for raspberries in general may be skewing my perception somewhat. But I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the list, though you can certainly have a less than artful execution of some. (e.g., I’m not a big fan of nougat-style fruit-flavored fillings, which tend to be far too sweet and a pale shadow of the proper flavor of the fruit.)
That was my thought exactly. Dark chocolate and orange is heavenly, chocolate and raspberry or cherry or strawberry is amazing, chocolate and peanut butter is wonderful, chocolate and coconut is just soooo good… I could go on and on.
Oh, yeah. Chocolate and mint? It’s very refreshing!
Agreed. Peanut Butter M&M’s blow Peanut M&M’s away.
PB and coconut were my two choices. Not because I want chocolate, peanut butter, and coconut all together, but because I couldn’t decide. If you made me choose between a Reese’s Cup and a Mounds Bar, I’d have to flip a coin, but I’ll take either of those over anything else.
Since the poll let me vote for two, I voted chocolate and peanut/peanut butter and chocolate and banana.
I voted for orange and cherry, but I also like chocolate with jujubes. It has to be dark chocolate, though - milk chocolate is for eating straight, and dark chocolate is for mixing with things, in an ideal world.
Dark chocolate, caramel, and sea salt.
Coconut. I always buy a bag of Mounds or Almond Joys for trick-or-treaters on Halloween. I always end up getting absolutely no trick-or-treaters, so I get the whole bag for myself!
It’s good to see raisins are dead-ass last.
This.
Otherwise, chili and coffee are my favorite flavors to mix with chocolate, but for any of the choices the chocolate must be dark dark DARK.
Have you ever bitten into a delicious chocolate peanut cluster only to discover that the peanuts are actually raisins? Raisins have their place–just not in my chocolate!
Blue Bell’s Mint Chocolate Chip is a favorite, although most of the options on the list can be quite good. Left off: Coffee & Chile.
