Well, I went out to buy lots of chocolate, played around with lighting and stuff, ate most of the chocolate, bougt some more, ... ;)
I used one diffuse light (flash bounced off a reflector) and one direct light (flash with toilet paper roll to focus the light). Macro setting on the camera to get close enough. That's about it. It was harder than I had thought to get nice highlights on the chocolate.
I'm very curious how this will do. But even if nobody likes it, I had fun doing this and I also learned a few new things.

Nice use of the frame to make your subject obvious. Good depth of field as well. I think the type of chocolate you selected could be inmproved. the cookie-like pieces have that whitish texture on them which detracts. More of the dark chocoloate, or other forms with a sharper outline would have made this more dramatic to me.
