[quote=Anonymous]Well first of all, don't throw it away -- take it into your office and someone will eat it! Second, formulations differ. I like Lake Champlain 70 or 72%, which I find at Whole Foods. Or sometimes Giant has some interesting looking brands. You may need to experiment to find what you like. (I am a chocolate nut and like almost anything under 80% but I enjoy some formulations more than others.) Also, a lot of brands label chocolate "dark" when it's 54% or above. 54% is not really dark. It's very sweet. It's good, but it's not dark. So if 54% or so is more what you're used to, anything in the 70s will definitely taste bitter at first. But eat enough and you will likely acclimate! You can also try eating it with tea or coffee, especially unsweetened. The contrast is nice. [/quote]
