Art + Chocolate = a Winning Combination

To celebrate the 85th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, chocolatiers all over Spain’s Basque Country, where Guernica sits, joined forces to commemorate the occasion in a pretty unique way. Most people have heard of Guernica in the context of Pablo Picasso’s famous 25 ft long painting by the same name, depicting the horrors of war. For this milestone, the chocolatiers have recreated this mammoth work of art entirely in chocolate, even down to the individual brushstrokes! It took over 1000 lbs of cocoa to make all of the chocolate from scratch, and I bet it tastes as great as it looks.
