What's the best chocolate you've ever had?

The best chocolate in the world! (Egypt)
I decided to climb Mt Sinai, the famous mountain where Moses and God had a conversation and Moses received the 10 commandments. Outside of the religious significance, it's mesmerizing to think that those 10 commandments permeate our modern society after so long. The 5km desert hike takes you up about 800 m. in 2 - 3 hours. I was climbing with my new friend Lucy and our Bedouin guide Ahmed. Lucy and I were having a hard time; we collectively went through 3 liters of water and on multiple occasions doubted our ability to make it up the top. With about half an hour left of climbing, our spirits down and our energy nearly depleted, we came upon a small Bedouin-run shop, stocked with sugary drinks, water and snacks. I didn't think too much before grabbing a Cardbury milk chocolate and hazelnut bar. At that moment, I thought it was the best chocolate bar in the world. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because that chocolate bar at the top of Mt Sinai reminded me that good taste and enjoyment is relative to each person's experience and I wanted to explicitly invite readers to share their experiences!
