I would urge folks who love great milk chocolate to try it. It has sublime milk caramel undertones, a delightful way to use the milk in milk chocolate. Among premium brands, their dark chocolates are middle of the road for me (still good and high quality but not stellar, like, say, Valrhona), but their milk chocolates are the supernovas!

Their Nibby bar is amazing, smooth chocolate with nutty cocoa nibs sprinkled through; it's like an ultra-sophisticated Crunch bar. *drool* They specialize in dark chocolate, but their milk chocolate has so much intense cocoa taste, it's one of my favorite chocolate treats. Yeah, so price-wise, it's not really the kind of thing you want to be eating every day, but if you love really deep chocolate taste, it can be -such- a worthwhile occasional indulgence. Oh, and here's another tasty tidbit, if you're in the San Francisco area, the factory gives free daily tours (with free chocolate!). No Oompa-Loompas, but still, going on a tour of a chocolate factory is pretty freakin' awesome.
