One of our friends was recently traveling in Europe and gave us some chocolates from Croatia. I wasn't able to spot the chocolate in our refrigerator until I saw the opened box one time I was browsing for some dessert after a late dinner. Here are photos of the box - the chocolate was almost all consumed by the time I got to it. Still, I was able to enjoy a couple of bites.

Close up showing the ingredients. I was also surprised to see a translation in Japanese. This tells me that there are a lot of Japanese visitors/tourists in Croatia |
This is a dark chocolate with a minimum of 69% cacao based on the label. It was enjoyable and I thought the dried figs and raisins enhanced the taste - giving it a nice combination of sweet, bitter and sour. I haven't been to Croatia but this is definitely a good buy and souvenir from a trip to that country.
