ghirardelli intense dark gourmet choc bars

now that the dark choc trend has about peaked, w/ everybody & his brother doing fancy dark-choc bars that are purportedly good for you, here's more of the same: ghirardelli intense dark gourmet choc bars*. ghirardelli is the pride of SFits factory is a big tourist hang - but its choc's never been all that. but when everyone else started doing better-quality choc, it did finally cave in w/its worthy 60% choc chips. so rah rah for them. These bars come in 4 flavors: espresso, toffee, orange, & plain – and have G's signature square format, just fused in a bar form

*and btw, I know these aren’t brand new but I finally bought one and took a pic

Ghirardelli chocolate is a brand where the perception is so far ahead of the reality that its marketing team should either win a prize for creativity or be thrown in jail for defrauding us suckers.

I like me some G but you're right they are over rated just a bit.

Bernard Malamud, on the other hand, did not make very good chocolates. On the other hand, he was a Natural.

So HAS anyone tried any of the other dark chocolate bars that are out? Are any of these any good?

I'm not going to comment on the chocolate front -- or the rah, rah one either. However, I have a new pint of H-D rum raisin ice cream in the freezer. Won't have to fake my enjoyment of it.

Why people keep trying gimmicky new ice creams when h-d's rum raisin is nearly always available ( being neither "seasonal" or "limited edition") escapes me.

In about an hour I'll be raisin' rum and it won't have anything to do with dyslexia or ice cream.

I like the Ghirardelli dark much better than the new Hershey dark. The Hershey dark tastes a bit chalky.
