When it comes to chocolate, Ina Garten has a favorite brand for baking the most delicious desserts. In interviews and recipes, she almost always recommends Lindt.

The optimal chocolate should have a strong earthy, nutty cocoa flavor but still taste plenty sweet. For Garten, Lindt checks this box.

While some competitors’ bittersweet bars might feature additives and fillers, which can diminish the rich taste of chocolate, Lindt keeps its ingredient lists short and sweet.

Considering its premium quality, Lindt chocolate is also fairly affordable and comes in big bars — another selling point for Garten.
