The Chocolate Winterfest <\/a> in August has you covered for both, with wickedly delicious events that are guaranteed to put a chocolatey smile on your face.<\/p>\n For a\u00a0chocolate experience with a difference, head to Modica, Italy<\/a>. Modica chocolate is made using an ancient Aztec recipe and the cocoa doesn\u2019t go through \u2018conching\u2019 (a long, slow heating process that makes chocolate softer and less bitter). Instead, it\u2019s processed at a lower temperature with added granulated sugar, making it more grainy and crumbly. Modica chocolate is traditionally flavoured with cinnamon or vanilla, but you\u2019ll also find chilli, carob, coffee and citrus varieties. It tastes AMAZING and you\u2019ll probably over-indulge, but that\u2019s okay. Just go atone for your gluttony in Modica\u2019s beautiful cathedral.<\/p>\n Unique (and delicious!)
