Surrounded by Chocolate by taffy

Surrounded by Chocolate

Junko and I had only a few hours between being dropped off in NYC on Sunday and catching our flight home. Our main task was to pick up handmade dark chocolate bark at Varsano's Chocolates for Jim (from me) and for Bill (from Junko) and a small box of 'extras' for each of us. It's a tradition every trip to NYC. I thought Danbo would be excited to have all these options, but he was overwhelmed by the choices. In the end, he really enjoyed a sea salt dark chocolate caramel.
And, my get pushed challenge from @dh this week: your challenge is food photography. Does chocolate count as food?
Danbo in my main album tonight sharing secrets: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-10-14
yum. i don't think i would look so glum being knee deep in chocolate :-)

oh a sea salt dark caramel would be to die for - how cruel to torment us with this image!
:-) Great capture - I bet Jim and Bill were happy to have you both home bearing chocolate.

@jyokota -- decided to play with Danbo and chocolates tonite, instead of process the fire hydrant. Hard not to want to gobble the chocolates!

Danbo seems overwhelmed by the choice of yummy-looking chocolates! I choose the salt one.

I wouldn't let my wife close to that plate. She is a chocoholic. Probably even Dumbo is, the way he is looking at them.

Love it!!he looks so content amongst all that deliciousness!

@taffy My son would consider chocolate to be one of the main food groups, so yes it counts.

Is it really bark? Like...from a tree? Next you will be telling me they have chocolate dipped witchetty grubs (imported from the Australian outback) lol Very cool idea for your photo...looks delicious :)
October 15th, 2013  
Haha, how wonderful!
October 15th, 2013  
Chocolate definitely counts as food! Great shot of Danbo's adventure in chocolateland! :)
October 15th, 2013  
Totally counts. Love how overwhelmed he looks!
October 15th, 2013  
Chocolate and Pretzels, two of the major food groups. Great composition.
October 15th, 2013

Lucky Danbo...he knows it's not dessert unless it's chocolate!! Fun shot!! :)

@kazlamont Heehee! No, it's just called almond 'bark' but it's a deep rich dark chocolate slab with almonds embedded. Then the slab is broken into irregular pieces and sold in that form. So it looks like chips of bark. And it is sooooo good! Jim opened his gift up, held it up to me as he was heading up to his office and said "say goodbye" (to the box of candy!). I'm so addicted if he left it in the kitchen pantry, I'd eat it all!

I hope Danbo was not sick after eating all that chocolate and that he left some for you! Looks too delicious to resist! : )
