no man, godiva is genuinely good, but it means that you probably haven't had other independent chocolates.

not that i'm a chocolate connoisseur or anything, but i find my local chocolate shops' handmade truffles to be tastier than godiva, and the texture is MILES better.

What's a good cheap dark chocolate that has cocoa butter in it? I want something to have daily and I find stuff like Lindt to be a tad expensive for that. Ikea dark chocolate is the literal GOAT in cost/quality but who's gonna go all the way to Ikea to pick up fucking chocolate.

This place called Condor Chocolates opened up near campus a few months ago. Bought some truffles for the gf for Valentines, and she let me try one. They're pretty goddamn delicious Ended up going with bourbon, Mayan (which I think was made with cayenne pepper maybe?), orange, and raspberry.

I had a Sage Honey chocolate from Chocolatier Blue. It was delicious, and I love the way their chocolates look, all metallic and geometric.

$30/12 pcs though, minimum. I didn't pay for it, someone who got a box as a gift passed them out. He probably didn't know how much they cost.
