Hmmm -
I thought that was the one that was pareve - I guess not. I hope nobody
tried them without checking =-(.
By way of making up to you all for my mis-remembering, I looked and found
some great resources:
Trader Joe's at http://www.traderjoes.com/cgi-bin/home.pl, with products at

Avoiding Dairy:

list of dairy-free chocolates! Included in the list is the Sunspire
company, the one that makes the barley malt sweetened milk-free chocolate
that tastes like milk chocolate.

I went to "the" sources on kashrutand here's what I found:
(also look at http://www.kashrut.com/ and http://www.ou.org/kosher/)
http://www.kof-k.com/key.htm
DAIRY or PARVE STATUS
All products bearing the KOF-K also carry the designation of their PARVE or
DAIRY status adjacent to the
KOF-K emblem.
DE: A product with parve ingredients that was manufactured on dairy
equipment carries the designation DE
next to the KOF-K. These may be eaten after, but not together with meat.
*: Listings in this directory which bear this designation represent
multiple products in which some
varieties may be parve, dairy, or manufactured on dairy equipment. In each
case, the status will be
clearly indicated on the product label with the words PARVE, DAIRY, or DE
appearing adjacent to the
KOF-K emblem on the package. Consumers are advised to check the label to
determine each product's status.
(PL): This indicates a private label product. All meat products under KOF-K
supervision are GLATT Kosher.
THE KOF-K DOES NOT PERMIT THE USE OF "WASHED MEAT".
Sherbert (Ice Cream) by U.S. law must be dairy.
Dairy products under KOF-K supervision are only Cholov Yisroel when so
indicated on the label.
Products bearing the KOF-K seal are NOT Kosher for Passover unless so
indicated on the label.
Some companies operate multiple plants, and food establishments wherein
only selected locations are under
KOF-K supervision. Check the Dining Guide for KOF-K certified locations
(restaurants, take-out foods,
donut shops, & caterers).
The KOF-K urges consumers to carefully check all labels to be sure the
KOF-K emblem appears on the label
of every package that is purchased. This is the only assurance that a
product is certified kosher.
