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!

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.

I totally agree, I’m like that Squidward setting up a chair meme when I see a chocolate bar. And immediately pack up if it has any kind of fruits in it.
Assuming you ferment the fruit first, yes.
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.
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.
Yeah I disagree with every single one of these. Contrast in food is good. Varied textures are good. Sweet and sour is good. Congrats, I think you have an actually unpopular opinion.
I have to strongly disagree. I think chocolate is delicious with strawberries, raspberries and raisins. Heck I even love dipping banana slices in a chocolate fondue. I know, I’m weird! 😁
Upvoted because what’s wrong with you, but mang you fit the subreddit well.
%100 disagree with them, but first time I’m actually seeing something that fits the community

Ah fuck, what have I done?
Sorry, gonna have to ask you to handover your lemmy passport

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.
Chocolate covered/dipped strawberries are nice. I like the flavors. The only issue is the shell like chocolate just breaks off of the strawberry, so maybe separate chocolate and strawberry could achieve the same or better. Still, a good flavor combo and traditional fruit/chocolate.

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!
