Chocolate is Life

One of my most favorite things in this world would be chocolate. Just imagine a rich and deliciously smooth piece of savory goodness landing on your tongue, and as you bite into it, the soft inside just oozes into your mouth. Thinking about it is making me crazy. If I could live on chocolate I would. In my opinion, I believe America has a great variety of chocolate that contains a lot of enhancements with extra things, when chocolate is actually just magnificent by itself. Though its always great to have American chocolate, the best chocolate can from all around the world, from places you have never heard of. I have tried chocolate from Argentina, Germany, and Belgium; let me say, that it is just amazing.

The countries with some of the best chocolate can seem quite odd. Many European countries seem to have rich and delicious tasting chocolate. Few of these include Denmark, Italy, United Kingdom, and France. Denmark is one of the largest producer and consumer of chocolate in the world. It has provided the world some of the most beloved brands, like Snickers, Mars, and Twix. It is especially famous for coconut filled chocolate. Italy is another big producer that was the first place to manufacture solid chocolate bars. United Kingdom makes a ton of assorted chocolates, and is specifically known for their organic chocolates. French dark chocolates and chocolates filled with liquor are a major popularity and are known to have an everlasting taste because the best cocoa is used.

Other countries that are not European, like Mexico, create some amazing tasting chocolate. Mexico was the first place where cocoa was created into a spicy drink. They are known for adding cinnamon and chilies into the chocolate to and flavor and smell.

The rest of the countries that top the list, are once again European. These countries would be Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Belgium. Germany is full of chocolate lovers and producers who are known particularly for the fine quality. Some of the best brands are Ritter Sport, Sarroti, Alpia, Kinder Schokolade, and the one I tried, Milka, which is just delicious. Spain is the first place where sugar was added to sweeten the bitter cocoa, so I must thank them right now. Without the Spanish, I could not survive. Though Switzerland does not seem like a place where cocoa would grow, it is a place that produces delicious chocolate. Many well-known chocolate brands originated in Switzerland, such as Toblerone, Swiss Army, Cailler Nestle, Lindt, and Glando. Lastly, is Belgium, and their chocolate tastes like god. They have some of the richest qualities of chocolates that use some of the best ingredients. Some of their famous brands are Nirvana, Godiva, Neuhaus, and Floranne. The thing is, when it is exported or is made here in America or certain chocolate types are made in countries that are not where they are originated from, the taste is changed and is not as good. If you ever get a chance and are a sweet/chocolate lover, tries these out.
