How do you like your chocolates?

I like my chocolates at room temperature Not cold and hard. I like them soft and easy to chew or melt.

Can't taste it when it's hard

How about you? do you prefer them after they are refrigerated?

[edit~~ Room temp = semi-melted.. sorry people ]

Fine chocolates are meant to be enjoyed at room temperature. Refrigerating them dulls them and can cause graininess.

Now there's nothing wrong with a frozen Milky Way or Charleston Chew though!

I'm a huge fan of Ice Cubes. They're about the size of a medium ice cube, 3/4" cube. Just let them sit on your tongue and melt (from room temp). There's a slight hint of cinnamon, I think. Whatever it is, it's awesome. I usually found them at the candy stores in a mall, but I haven't looked in a while.

Ice Cubes rock.

But any chocolate is wonderful given the right setting. Preferably slightly melted, at body temperature, running down my gal's midsection...

Ice Cubes get their signature taste from ground hazelnuts, believe it or not.

I like my chocolates room temperature...something smooth and creamy please.

Room temp; semi-melted was the closest the poll would allow. Chocolate melts at body temperature; the fact that it dissolves in your mouth is one of its charms, since this process allows you to enjoy the flavor to its maximum. Cold chocolate has an interesting texture that some like, but you miss the fullness of the flavor.

High-quality chocolate can be refrigerated for many months with no loss of quality, and I have done that; before eating it, though, I allow it to sit out and warm up to room temp.

I hate cold chocolate - it tastes all waxy. Give me soft, yielding, velvety dark 80% cocoa solid chocolate and I will melt on the floor for you.

I only ever eat room temperature chocolate, although I remember eating refridgerated Aero bars as a kid.

I definately don't eat any fine or high quality chocolates, so my opinion may be meaningless.

I like them cold & hard, dark and bittersweet with no shit in them like crspies, nuts.... Just pure chocolate. Mmmmmmmmm chocolate [/homerdrool] Toblerone would be awsome if it didn't have all that crap in it. As it is it is pretty damned good but imagine it with out the crap.

I'm the same way. I dont like chewing chocolate either (unless it's like a Snickers or something where I have to), I prefer just letting it melt.

I worked at a chocolate factory years ago and I know what you mean. We would run-off 3 tons per shift and if the temper of the chocolate wasn't just right, the product would end up as a cold wet glob. The girls at the end of the line would freak because it made such a mess.

I'll take a nice piece of Belgian bitter-sweet at room temp thanks.

Chocolate

I like them at room temperature - My teeth are sensitive to cold. I am not big on dark chocolate - I like milk chocolate. I really enjoy mint: like Peppermint Patties or Andes; I love chocolate covered cherries.
