Thanks all for the great comments and votes! This was a lot of fun to make. Let me start by saying I've given up sugar for the last 4 months or so and I wasn't really looking forward to this challenge!
I first had the idea of floating a chocolate bar in chocolate syrup, but then I thought…it needs… FIRE! ..and it evolved into this idea.
So, I ran down to the local store and got a bottle of Hershey’s syrup, a pack of kit-kats (which I love and couldn’t eat!!) and of course lighter fluid. It took a lot of tries with different backgrounds and bases before I got the look I wanted, then came the fire! Did you know that kit-kats burn quite nicely on their own?? So I went through like 8 of those double kit kat bars before I got the shot I needed. Even though it smelled awesome, I don’t think it would be too tasy with the lighter fluid. Oh yeah, I didn’t even once lick that chocolate of my fingers when changing the candy bar out!

Wow, great shot and love the setup...how much lighter fluid did you use on the Kitkats or were they flammable enough without extra help? And grats on the ribbon too :-)
Congrats Tom with teh Ribbon here. Lovely take and liked your story on how you got the shot. You are way better than me.. I would have finished the Kit Kats before the shots were even taken
Some of us DPCer's go to unknown extremes to get the right shot. You are part of that club Tom! Congratulations on a very well done image. That flame is just right.
