one of my favorite places in the world…is….
Drumroll……Italy!!!! I had the amazing pleasure, when I was in high school, to go to Italy for a week and it was phenomenal! I will definitely be going back…at some point in my life. 
Hopefully sooner, rather than later. However, between all the spaghetti, pizza and gelato, somehow I never tried their chocolate. Wow, did I miss something!!! My great uncle brought some chocolate back from Italy for my family recently and warned us of how very different it is than American chocolate. He was correct, but it was nothing like I expected. I almost liked it better. It has a sweetness, but is 50% cocoa, so you can actually taste the cocoa instead of just all the sugar. Hard to explain, but if I ever go to Italy again, I am definitely bringing some back…to whoever follows this blog
Anyway, I absolutely loved the boxes. The design and look is very unique, so I thought I would have fun and take some pictures tonight. I used my new alien bee lights, which I love! So, getting back into doing some more studio shoots, and brushing up on that area of my shooting.
Hope you enjoy them…cause I mean honestly…what is better than Italy and chocolate?? Can’t think of anything?? Nope, neither can I

Great job, Den! I want some MORE of this delicious stuff. Did you know that they brought this back from the town where it was made? Modica, in southern Sicily. It is done with a cold, dry processing, which is part of the reason for the difference in texture and taste. Great stuff. And great pics, too!
