What goes best with chocolate? (Please select as few as you can stand to narrow it down to, and mention specific combinations in your comments.)

I like chocolate mousse with raspberry, and also bananas in my sundaes. I don't like nuts much.

Coffee, hazelnut, or mint are my favorites. (Not all at once, please)

...and MORE chocolate ... I usually like something salty to balance ... like peanuts or popcorn ... I also like chocolate eclairs with dill pickles (nope, not pregnant!)

Banana, caramel, coffee, strawberry, and orange. I am not to happy with nuts mixed with my chocolate.

You forgot coconut! Bounty bars beat Mounds hands-down. Also tasty are chocolate-covered cherries.

garlic!

Either milk or bananas. A bar of chocolate and a glass of milk can't be beat. Peanut butter from a jar is a good third.

milk.. sheesh.. one big ol' frosty glass of milk. geez, how can you forget milk.

I picked almonds, peanuts and strawberries. Chocolate fondue is your friend! ***OOOh, I forgot pretzels! Chocolate covered pretzels are THE BEST. Peanut butter and chocolate are very tasty together, too.

Guinness is wonderful w/chocolate. So's whatever that stuff (nougat, yeah, that's it) that's in 3 Musketeers and Snickers.

You forgot cherry and kiwi. Caramel is the best!!Oh, same with butterscotch.

more chocolate

peanut butter, pretzels, cakey things
***Steve, if you wanted, you could use the "sort" widget at the bottom of this page (then hit save changes), and the answers will be sorted - you can undo it too if you just want to try it. New feature, I'm just trying to spread the word.
**Everyone, you can go back to your old surveys and sort them if you like (it's reversible). Only authors have the ability to change sorting.

Vanilla...mmm...oh yeah, and whipped cream. I adore chocolate and whipped cream.

*I* can't believe I forgot cherry and coconut. Will, do you have any garlic and chocolate recipes that you'd be willing to share? (steve@eddie.mit.edu) These are the twin pillars of my cuisine and, like pillars, they've always been parallel.

flesh.

So many things, but since I knew you wanted us to try, I was good and limited myself to just coffee and hazelnut. You should do the same survey again, steve, with the same list, but ask what does NOT go with chocolate, too.

I love choc bars with almonds in them, or coffee and chocolate cake but me favourite is strawberries dipped in melted Albany chocolate! And you forget the thing that makes chocolate taste best...sharing it with a friend or lover.

Lemon!!!

cheese. shortbread. arrak.

After much research: Caramel-strawberry-raspberry. Oh, and "more chocolate". Other favorites are pear, orange, coffee, or almond, but not all at once.

chocolate and peanut/peanut butter is my favorite sweet combination. pretzels and almonds are also good.

***jonathan & ron2112 - yes! i think i'll have a chocolate guiness float right now! mmmmmm......

Before Sunday I might not have said "orange" but steve has made a believer out of me. Wowza! What that man can do with sugar!

Tequila. No, I'm not kidding. I had a bottle of tequila in a travel bag with some Hershey bars once; I left the bag in the car and the chocolate melted all over the cap, neck, and mouth of the bottle. I took a swig straight from the bottle (not something I would typically do, but this was nbarone's bachelor party) and it was surprisingly yummy!

***jonathan: Ever have a Guinness float with chocolate ice cream? Absolutely too good.

***jen: Remind me never to have chocolate at your house...

***nbarone: Hey, didn't I buy that Guinness in your fridge? Save some for me, dude!

chocolate with all the above.

Chocolate & fruit is the best -- cherries, especially. I also like chocolate & peanut butter and s'mores (chocolate, marshmellows & graham crackers.) Mmmmm...I'm hungry

Orange chocolate.. Kimberly has corrupted me! Hmm. I'm surprised not more people like Cinnamon in their chocolate..

chocolate with all of the above and more.

vanilla - okay, it's generally a given in small quantities, but a lot of vanilla in chocolate is yummy...

Most things go well with chocolate, but I prefer my nuts and chocolate to be separate.

*** Katea: even better still - chocolate on a lover! Mmmm... I'm getting hungry, too (or was that ...)

What about marshmallows and graham crackers. You know smores.

Whatever sweet.

yum yum to all

You forgot Peanut Butter, and apples.

pretzels. milk.

what about a cigarette!

Port of course! :)

Oh man I need a choc bar...
