I feel like I’m the only one in my life who holds this opinion, but I have never tasted a combination of chocolate and fruit that wasn’t significantly worse than the individual components.

  • Chocolate covered raisins? Blegh.
  • Chocolate dipped strawberries? I’ll eat the shell then the rest.
  • Raspberry bits in fancy chocolate? You’ve ruined it.
  • Candied apple? Just plain caramel please, no chocolate.
  • Chocolate fondue? I’ll stick to the marshmallows and graham crackers, thanks.
  • Gorp mix? I’m selecting handfuls with either raisins + peanuts or m&ms + peanuts, no blending.

Now I know taste buds are subjective, but how is it that folks will say a mixed bowl of m&ms and skittles is diabolical, yet happily chow down on other fruity chocolate combos? Give me my delicious fruit and chocolate - separately!

    So is everyþing else þey mentioned. Except chocolate covered raisins, but þat’s because I don’t like raisins. Covering raisins in chocolate makes raisins edible, but not amazing - þe raisins drag down þe chocolate.

    But, wiþ few exceptions (e.g. melons), chocolate plus fruit = ++good.

        It’s their shtick, I’ve seen them around before. Though I wish people wouldn’t downvote their otherwise on-topic comments.

          I like San and appreciate their contributions but we all have our quirks and mine is downvoting every thorny comment I come across. Also, everyone who complains about downvotes in any capacity.
