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!

OP, what is your opinion of vegan molé? What do you think of savory chocolate?
You’ve never tried “Terrys Orange”. I usually don’t like the Chocolate & Fruit combo, either. But this one is surprisingly good.
Ungh, you pick the ONE counterexample that actually proves his point.
Your argument is invalid because the coca bean is itself the fruiting body of the theobroma cacao; chocolate is a fruit.
is corn syrup a fruit then?
Upvote because your opinion is wrong.
That said, the things you described seem like they have a high potential to be underwhelming. I’ve had versions of almost all of them where the chocolate is cheap, grainy and too sweet.
Upvoted because what’s wrong with you, but mang you fit the subreddit well.

Sorry, gonna have to ask you to handover your lemmy passport

%100 disagree with them, but first time I’m actually seeing something that fits the community
Upvote for unpopular.
Kudos to your truly unpopular opinion. I disagree but wouldn’t fight you on it. But what are your thoughts on nuts and caramel? That’s a hill I would die on.
Choco and banana. Nothing else matters.
Banana, sliced in half long ways, peanut butter along the whole thing, cut into slices, frozen, dipped in chocolate.
Yesssss
That sounds amazing.
90% agree. Chocolate paired with actual fruit sucks, but chocolate with fruit flavoring (e.g. Terry’s chocolate orange, chocolate-covered fruit-flavored ganache or nougat, etc.) can sometimes be good.
Finally someone else!
I was a strong defender of this position for a long time. There is a Venn diagram with a circle of dairy in the center. It overlaps heavily with chocolate on one side and fruit on the other. But the fruit and chocolate circles should not touch.
Or so I thought. One day a friend was arguing with me about this and she pointed out a banana split, which has all three. Ok so maybe the fruit and chocolate circles barely touch for this one exception but otherwise - say no to chocolate with fruit.
Yessss!! Hahaha. My whole life people have been trying to convince me that I’m crazy because I don’t like orange chocolate. (Not even the actual fruit, just the flavour in chocolate.)
I agree with this wholly. I love fruits. I love chocolate. But I don’t want them together.
Okay but

I like chocolate with cheese, or with salt. Not really a fan of super sweet chocolate, 90%+ dark for me.
My mother in law used to make a treat - really simple peanuts in chocolate. But the peanuts had to be salted cocktail peanuts for the perfect consistency and that contrast salt cs sweet!
Fuck orange chocolate! Only thing worse is mint chocolate.
Oh, I violently disagree. I find your position to be almost repulsive.
