This week’s #FriFotos theme is CHOCOLATE! I had a blast looking through my old pictures and finding my favorite photos of chocolate around the world, from Austria to Italy to Massachusetts.

You may notice a significant absence — Southeast Asia.  Chocolate isn’t much of an attraction there, and most of my chocolate intake there was in the form of a bar clandestinely purchased at 7-Eleven.

Behold — some chocolate pictures that will make your mouth water!

I was delighted by the grapes, chocolate and cocoa powder outlines of utensils at the Duomo Hotel in Rimini, Italy.  One of my favorite hotel welcomes!

This chocolate cake was a belated birthday surprise at the Interalpen Hotel-Tyrol, in Seefeld, Austria, sent by my sister!

THE WORLD’S LARGEST CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!  It’s at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Chocolate tiffin — made with biscuits (eek, I said it!), shortbread, raisins, and tons of melted chocolate.  It’s one of my favorite culinary discoveries in England.

My friend Mike LOVES Volkswagens — he even has a Volkswagen tattoo! — so for his birthday in Chester, England, he got chocolate Volkswagen cupcakes!

A must in Vienna — the Sacher Torte.  It’s chocolate cake layered with apricot jam — it sounds like an odd combination, but it’s absolutely delicious!

Fudge!  At the Fudgery in Rockport, Massachusetts, the smallest size of fudge they sell lasts me about a week and a half.  It’s that rich.

And finally, one of the most unusual and perfect chocolate desserts I’ve had: raw vegan chocolate mousse made with avocado, at Haramara Retreat in Sayulita, Mexico, with Nourish Retreats .

That’s the end of the chocolate photos for now — but I’m sure they will continue here in Spain!  I hear that Barcelona is the place for trendiness in Spain, and if anyone has good Spanish chocolate, it’s them.  For apartment rentals in Barcelona, click here for the best deals.
