Charity in Chocolate is a fun and unique annual fundraiser to benefit The Heart of America Foundation featuring a fashion show where the area's top chefs demonstrated their mastery of sugar, cocoa and couture. This year's event was under the patronage of His Excellency The Ambassador of Italy and Mrs. Claudio Bisogniero and included nearly 60 award-winning chefs showcasing their culinary and pasty talents by hosting sweet and savory tasting stations. Guests paired their tastings with signature cocktails, local wines and Peroni. Photography by Moshe Zusman, Moshe Zusman Photography
