Advantages: You don't get much stronger than this

Disadvantages: Too bitter for some

I don't always get on well with milk chocolate. It's too sweet for me, and tastes sickly. Dark chocolate however, the stronger the better, is an addiction.

Lindt 85% is like heaven in bar form.

It's so strong that even one tiny piece is enough to beat your brain over the head and tell it that chocolate has entered the body. When you're feeling hormonally cranky it's a blessing. While it's not cheap, it lasts me much longer than milk chocolate because unlike milk chocolate I can only eat four squares or so at once.

That said, people who enjoy milk chocolate should probably avoid it. My mother and kid sister hate this stuff - to them apparently it tastes bitter, and not how chocolate should taste at all. If you like chocolate for the sweetness, stick to milk, or at least try Lindt 70% first.

I'll keep eating it (hey, I can leave it in the fridge without it being stolen!) but it's not for everyone.

Summary: Probably not for milk chocolate lovers
