Chocolate photography, chocolate reviews, chocolate-related stories, trivia, etc. I'm Alaina, and I share my chocolate. Most of the time.

It's hard to have the blues when there's a Dick Taylor @craftchocolate bar in the house. 💙

I wrote about 5 chocolate bars I am excited to try in 2021 here: thechocolatewebsite.com/5-cr… One is from Dick Taylor (@craftchocolate), one is from @GoodnowFarms, and you'll have to read to find out what the other three are. :-)

I obviously couldn't choose which @ManoaChocolate goat milk chocolate bar pose to share (which is why you're getting FOUR) but it was easy to narrow down my verdict on the taste to one word: YUMMY

What does @pumpstchocolate (I have now *finally* tried oat milk & it is SO GOOD) have to do with a book that is over one hundred years old? Well, really nothing, except to me, but if you're interested, read "The Eleanor Porter of Chocolates" for more: thechocolatewebsite.com/the-…

This is one of those chocolates that looks stunning and tastes even more stunning: Hogarth white chocolate with maple and walnuts, made in New Zealand.

My weekend involved Fjak milk chocolate with blueberries made in Norway - what a treat!! (BTW: Did you know milk chocolate is the only type of chocolate that exists? So says my dad, anyways... 😂)

It was an absolute treat to photograph and taste this @ChocMadagascar white chocolate. My list of favorite chocolates keeps getting bigger and bigger! #singleorigin #nikonphotography 🌸💗🍫

What happens when the bag of mint chocolate chip @Snackapade #smashmallows someone gifts you with disappears too fast to take a picture? You get another bag (of course)! Read: thechocolatewebsite.com/choc…

Venezuelan @chocolatcanoabo posing next to some gorgeous pink-purple flower sprigs that happened to be plucked straight from a burr-bush. #beantobar #foodphotography Love this photo. It's my desktop background right now.

Some chocolate bars taste great but look plain. Some chocolate bars look gorgeous but taste not-so-gorgeous. Some bars both taste amazing & look gorgeous, & such is the case with this @hogarthchoc #gianduja bar from #NewZealand which I wrote about in 2018: thechocolatewebsite.com/hoga…

This is white chocolate, believe it or not. Matcha green tea white chocolate made by @cacaosampaka to be precise. I loved the addition of crunchy lemon crystals. 🍋🍫

Fun Weekend Activity: Go to @barandcocoa & add EVERY #chocolate bar you REALLY want to try (that you haven't tried yet!) to your cart. My total: 58 (Lots of @mapchocolate & @arceliagallardo made my wishlist!) #notsponsored #backtotherealworld #Idefinitelyqualifiedforfreeshipping

Fun fact: Chocolate exposed to blackberry aroma will take on a faint but noticeable hint of blackberry taste and I'm loving it! (@MillcreekCacao does this beautifully.) 🍫💜 (Also available in raspberry and other flavors.) #notsponsored #nikonphotography

Mmmm how about a stack of @esc_chocolate cranberry and almond chocolate to start your day off on a bright note!?! #endangeredspecies #nikonphotography ☀️🌺

Here we have a two ingredient #beantobar chocolate made in Oregon by @RangerChocolate with beans from Peru. Of course I plunked it next to some flowers. Because I'm me. 😁

I had this picture of @ChocTree's coconut chocolate bar as my desktop wallpaper for awhile. Love how pretty it is. Not just pretty, of course. Very tasty, too! 🥥🌺🥥🌴🥥🌺🥥#stilllife #nikonphotography
