When I said these were available in bars, I meant in bar form, handy for
eating, not that you could nip down to your local pub to find them. If you
are interested in chocolate in bulk format, for candymaking, go to
www.chocosphere.com .

If you like dark chocolate, try Valrhona's Le Noir Gastronomie or El Rey,
especially El Rey's Venezuelan single bean origin series. I love the 70%
Gran Saman one. These chocolates are available in bars in more and more
places, I've found. My local (not so local, but the only one around)

bakery
carries them, as does the Whole Foods Market.

If you like milk chocolate, try El Rey's Caoba milk chocolate. It has

almost
a carmel-like taste! I am not a big milk choc. fan, but I love this stuff!

I am chocolate-ignorant, and don't know the difference. I have had
Ghiradelli chocolate chips, in my sister's cookies and they weren't
anything better than you could get in the UK, so maybe I need to try
Sharfen-Berger. Sounds German, must be good.

Darn, I thought you'd finally found a reason for me to go to a bar! LOL

I don't pre-wash either. I like the washed wrinkly look when things
shrink after the quilting.

but you get the same effect after washing the quilted item at least I do...

Not yet. I don't trust myself near that much really good chocolate -- I
could probably handle the Hershey tour next time I am back east though
;-)

Anne,
Have you every done the Sharfen-Berger tour?? It was fun. Need to
try it some time since it sounds like you live in the Bay Area.

see reply to Polly. Where do you think you'll be in April 2007?
Do you think they
have chocolate there? Better than the Russian stuff? I'll need to
plan the timing of
this very carefully ;-)

Boy are you lucky. I just received 12 flannel fat quarters
waiting
to be washed. I forgot, that I had ordered 2 packs from The Secret
Workshop when they were having a sale. No affiliation, I just like
a
sale. I have a bunch of bright fat quarters - cotton - that need
to
be washed, but that isn't scientific enough.
I'll clip the corners on some of these, just to be ornery.
