Much better than waiting for it to be delivered by Amazon, and hoping it hasn't melted on the way.
$25/kg is a fairly good price, especially with >85% (anything else is expensive sugar, high fructose corn syrup actually, with hydrogenated "vegetable", i.e. soybean, oil).
Good question. The 90 and 95% are pretty bitter, though. Either way, 85% is dark enough for me.
why are you bothering? Nutritional aspects? Taste?
Wow, good to know , thanks OP!
Perfect stocking fillers for birthdays and to pair with wine!
I find what goes best with wine is more wine :-)
Cant argue with that!!!
You can get 2x the chocolate for the same price.

No Bargain.
(OP negged my bailey deal because a generic crappy ladder is the same price but holds 50kg more.. so by their own logic.. this is also no bargain?

Is this revenge posting? 😄
In fact, @nismo has pretty much convinced me that, indeed, it's not that much of a bargain, if we can get the Coles Belgian dark home brand for $25/kg any day. And Frey's even cheaper, when half price at Woolies every month (as @Nefe pointed out).
Unfortunately, the one you picked to counter-argue — nothing wrong with that; it is in conflict that we learn from each other — is mostly sugar (53%; corn syrup, most likely) with soybean oil (hydrogenated, most likely).
I'll have a look at the ladder post; we shouldn't take negs so personally. In fact, we should neg more, not less.
Comparing milk to to milk, the Lindt milk isn't any better, it has sugar as #1 ingredient and vegetable fats. At least Cadbury still has milk as #1 ingredient.
Are you comparing "milk chocolates"? (mostly corn syrup in soybean margarine, aren't they?)
Are the >85% dark bars dutched?
I heard that 85% is the highest dark without dutching.
