I don't mind white chocolate, there're some good ones with a strong vanilla flavour, but s'not really chocolate as all the cocoa solids have been taken out and you're just eating the cocoa butter and sugar. :-|
I tend to agree with you about most Merken chocolate, but Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel is like a piece of heaven... so delicious. If you ever have another chocolate exchange I'd be happy to send over a bar to prove it!
