"Plain dark chocolate" in the DC area

[johnniet]

I'm looking to have some good "plain dark chocolate" delivered to a friend in the DC area, preferably as fast as possible (she's working on a project from home and certainly needs it).

Does anyone have a recommendation, either a local chocolatier or a good online service?

As a convicted chocoholic (repeat offender), I can personally vouch for the quality of any product made by Ethel M.

Also, the Cocoa Room (Google?) has some great munchies.

Check Williams-Sonoma top see if they will deliver one of the big bars of Valrhona. That is the best I have ever had and the choice of the vast majority of the top pastry chefs in France and elsewhere.

have mercy!!!!! if you eat some of that 70% Valrhona, you WILL see the Virgin Mary appear in your family room sliding glass door Get a few of the little metal boxes of the Guanaja 70% wafers and you will be able to bribe yourself into damn near anywhere. My ex in-laws' dachshund nearly took my leg off trying to get at those things...lol

My idea of perfection is the Valor 'Gran Valor' -milk chocolate, truffle,almond !!!!! Still can't get enthused about dark chocolate.

Check out Sharfenberger choclate. 70% will make you slap yourself.

Thanks everyone.
I ended up going with some Valrhona from Chocosphere (a little cheaper than World Wide Chocolate).

Much thanks!

Just FYI, there are both Neihaus and Godiva Chocolatiers at the Union Station Mall, as I have discovered to my great pleasure and my diets loss since my agency moved next door to Union Station.

Just keep telling yourself that over and over and you'll get through the day.

Thanks! I'll be sure to use this information next time I'm out.
