Chocolate in the DR
There is a shortage of good German or Swiss or "High Class" Chocolate... Hersheys will get you nowhere 
There's no shortage of chocolate, although it would be difficult to get your hands on top of the line Belgian chocolate.bigbird said:
I really don't think you will be able to barter for anything, with chocolates, although we do have a few POP members who may fetch, sit & roll over for Belgian chocolate.

Okay, I will leave the 3 for a $1 candy bars home and bring the real thing.:beard:
Thanks for the info........
Maybe I could give the 3 for a buck to the kids and save the good stuff for the good stuff.
Although it's a bit cooler these days, chocolates are difficult to keep from melting in this climate.bigbird said:
Perhaps you could bring candy or bubble gum, that might be a bit more weather resistant.
Missleading information!
Rocky, Rocky...dear..
Chocolate is not meant to be stored, it is meant to be eaten.
And delivered by nice friends, living in the right country for this honorable cause.
The DR1 group "Friends of Chocolate" ( not to be mixed with the name of the animation team at the Hiltons, that is "chocolate friends" ) likes the chocolate that for instance, Larry used to bring, before he moved here ( why was that necessary?? ), or Jackquontee and some other trustful sources, whom we prefer not make official and keep to ourselves.
Bubble gum? Rocky, we need to have a talk you and I...

Oh, sure, but you'll mention my name. And, besides, didn't you say that it was necessary to bring fresh cocolate from the states because it helped keep somebody's poor, dying mother alive?
Sorry to say, but you'll be going through withdrawals on this next trip. I have some things I have to bring down for the house. Oh well.
Chocolate supply arriving late Aprilfrom Canada- will be having a Swiss, Belgian chocolate party - dark and milk for my many DR1 friends. I put cooler packs in my luggage for transporting.
While I agree that chocolate from europe may be considered the best - give me a fresh Hersheys Bar anytime mon - something about the way it almost melts in your mouth.
And if a candy bar is your choice -
Three Musketeers gotta be #1 - nothing better than a chilled one on a hot day at the beach in Cabarete, and chase it down with a cold shot of
Patron XO - for that full blast effect.
Only way it could get better would be if a couple cuties were to stroll up with a cooler full.
Yep - thats a good day at the beach !!irate:

irate:My friend Manuel from Santiago said that his dad used to process cacao, which now is very valuable to health-fooders:

you really have to read the info to the above link, anyway, cacao should be easy to come by.
if you are from the USA, then you may know whole foods:
