Taste is subjective. What tastes magnificent to us might not to you, and vice versa, obviously, but we’re more than happy to sample as much food as possible in the hope of steering you in the best direction. What, you want us to eat all of the chocolate? Fine, okay, just because you asked. Croatia has plenty of delectable chocolates waiting to be devoured, so check out our favourites and get ready for a real melt-in-your-mouth experience.
