Each of us has different chocolate taste. Some love milk chocolate and the sweet one, some love dark chocolate with higher percentage of cocoa, and some love white chocolate just like @SilvyC who is a truly big fan of white chocolate. She also shared some of her white chocolate bar collection in different brand.

@Jesi brought a beautiful heart-shaped chocolate with the text “Local Guides” written on it from a local business. She also brought chocolate made with Oreo and led into a fun vote among us whether we like Oreo with dark or white chocolate. Jesi is in Oreo with dark chocolate team, whereas I am in Oreo white chocolate team.
And the winner with the most voted is Oreo with dark chocolate team :tada:

We brought and shared our story about the chocolate from our local brand, then ate it together. Although we have different taste of chocolate, but we had a very fun discussion about chocolate. Valentine’s day and chocolate were surely bringing us together :hugs:

Let me share a list of the chocolate products from local brand based on the country that we shared together during this virtual meet-up (get ready to “Google” it, then find it in your nearest store then!).

Your white chocolate collections are surely making me drooling :drooling_face:

Actually, I’m into dark chocolate team. However when talking about Oreo, I am in your team because I like Oreo with white chocolate filling more.

Hey @Velvel & @Jesi

What a great meet-up it was, I didn’t participate so much because as usual I was at work. But I really enjoyed all the celebration moments of Valentine with you guys.

I want to share a Gift from a lovely person from Argentina, I really love this gift, and still appreciate it. There were many gifts by my Aregntenian friend but mostly I love the Chocolates which was so delicious.

I m sharing photo here, maybe my sister Jesi will recognize it ???

Thanks Feliciana and Jesi, and special thanks to @JaneBurunina & @StephenAbraham for sharing me meet-up Link, otherwise maybe I missed it.

Shukriya :pray:

What a wonderful recap, @Velvel . I really enjoyed reading every bit of it. Also, I’m pretty please to find out that I’ve tried some of the brands you talked about during the meet-up. Kit Kat, Reese’s, Snickers and Cadburry are definitely some of my personal favorites. :slightly_smiling_face: When it comes to Lindt, it’s one of the best chocolate brands that can be easily found where I live, Bulgaria. I used to love visiting this particular Lindt shop when I was younger, and I remember spending hours looking through all the chocolate bits they offer. It’s been some time since I last went there, I should probably drop by and get myself a little treat. :slightly_smiling_face:
