Smooth and Creamy

So, I was reading Yahoo! and I noticed that they did some research on chocolate :) So here is the rundown of all the chocolates that they had tasted that day... mmmm! After ready this I was so hungry for some CHOCOLATE!!!!

Milk chocolate gets dismissed as the immature younger sibling of dark chocolate, but we are not ashamed of loving it. When good, milk chocolate melts on the tongue like butter. Serious Eats tried ten brands of old-fashioned milk chocolate to see which were the best and which tasted like stale Halloween candy.

Best Overall
While Switzerland is probably a really nice country to visit, you could still be pretty satisfied just eating its Lindt bar ($2.69 for 3.5 ounces) from afar. Smooth and creamy, without tasting too rich, it's what you want in a milk chocolate bar. There's no weird notes or whiffs of anything off-tasting—it's just chocolate done right.

Another favorite was the Deutschland chocolate bar, Ritter Sport ($2.50 for 3.5 ounces). The four-by-four pattern of little chocolate pegs is very satisfying. Each of the sixteen squares is smooth, sweet but not too sweet, and easy to break off and share.

Honorable Mention
There was something subtly almondy or cinnamony about the Ghirardelli ($2.29 for 3 ounces) that kind of worked. While the ingredients didn't list anything to match these suspicions, the intriguing smidge of flavor complemented the classic milk chocolate taste.

Most Butter-Like
According to confectionery literature, good chocolate should melt on the tongue like butter, and this one did—or, hypothetically, how we imagine throwing a stick of golden fat on our tongues would be like. Imported from Belgium, the Trader Joe's brand ($1.79 for three 1.75 ounce bars) is not only cheap but enjoyably smooth and melty.

Best Organic

Paul Newman did so much for the food world, from egg-binging to soy crisp development. What a man. And of all the organic brands we tasted, Newman's Own Organics ($2.99 for 2.25 ounces) was by far the most edible. Luscious and moderately gooey, it was the right amount of sweet with a tiny hit of salt.

Most Like Stale Halloween Candy
From the first whiff, we could identify this one. Whether it was the memories of "Fun Size" Halloween candy bars or those powdery instant cocoa packets, this was clearly Nestle ($1.59 for 5 ounces). Though more fake chocolate-tasting than chocolate-tasting, maybe we're fine with that. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

Most Like Dark Chocolate
Both Dagoba ($2.79 for 2 ounces) and Whole Foods 365 Brand ($2.49 for 3 ounces) pulled off the grainy bitterness that dark chocolate fans will appreciate. Are they ashamed of being milk chocolate? A little identity crisis here.

Most All-Around Funky Tasting
Whoa, there. For being the most expensive bar we tried, Green & Black's ($3.99 for 3.5 ounces) was a huge disappointment. Was that beef jerky? Something in there was bizarrely tangy and threw off the whole experience. More power to the company for using fair trade, genetically-unmodified, organically-grown cocoa, but this chocolate just ain't good.

Most Belongs on a Graham Cracker
As long as there are campfires and microwaves, there will be Hershey's ($1.99 for 4.4 ounces). Though gritty and chalky in bar form, it transforms into a magical ooze when multiplied by intense heat, graham crackers, and marshmallows.

The Russell Bazaar Center


A world of shops with more than 150 specialty stores offering unique designerwear, jewelry, hand-made arts and crafts, housewares, food, gifts, bath and beauty products all under one roof. The Russell Bazaar is based on street markets found all over the world, except the Russell Bazaar is under one roof. It provides a terrific experience for shoppers and gives local artists, craftspeople, and many other types of small businesses a low-cost “storefront” in a lively environment. It’s generating excitement, jobs and economic opportunity at the same time. OnTheList.tv took a walk through to meet some interesting people and trust me... there were some interesting ones out there! I loved everything that we seen that day... especially the musician playing something nice for us to hear! Check out the video from that day!

The Russell Bazaar is located in the historic Russell Industrial Center, seven interconnected buildings designed by Albert Kahn and finished in 1925 on a 25-acre site near I-75 and I-94 in Detroit. Kefallinos purchased the Center in 2003 to create a community for small companies in creative industries. At the same time he saw an opportunity to build a unique shopping and entertainment destination for families that captures the unique creative and industrial spirit of Detroit and gives it a festive, international flair.
