Not sure, but I sure do love the gold color. I don't think it's chocolate, but maybe gold keys? #5764467Bill Knaps April 08, 2008
Beautiful shot of those Keys Patrick.Dr. Harmeet Singh April 08, 2008

Taken inside Fort Knox I would say Patrick!!Carol Sawyer April 09, 2008

Wonderful capture, Patrick. I think they look like keys too! #5767208Lynne Morris April 09, 2008
Beautiful capture Patrick, my first thought are mint chocolates? #5767301Jennifer L. Alder April 09, 2008
Great perspective and light! Look like keys to me... :) #5767502Eivor Kuchta April 09, 2008
Looks like gold metal (though we had hoped for chocolate). Maybe a part of a music instrument? #5767569Joseph N. DiGilio April 09, 2008
This is fun. I like guessing games. I think they are brass keys. If they were fine Dutch chocolate they would have been eaten before you had a chance to photograph them. #5767667

Patrick- Hello there and a good day to you my friend. I got to agree with the majority on this, that its keys. I can see some lettering ( at least I think its lettering) on the bottom key,but can't make it out.Bill Wyatt April 10, 2008
Terrific light and colors wonderful close up work!! #5769392Susan Weisensel April 10, 2008

Mike Clime April 10, 2008
Nice capture, Patrick! Unless you are very wealthy, this must be chocolate. #5771840Sam Britt April 10, 2008
At first glance I thought it was exquisite chocolate wrapped in gold foil, but looking closer I think it's a stack or gold keys. It's a great photo, whatever it is! #5772264

Yes, keys that is what I was going to say Patrick!!! LOL J/K I am horrible at guessing games!!Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna April 11, 2008
BUT BUT BUT!!!!!!! I didn't get to play!!!! It's all the doctors fault because he wouldn't let me play on my puter and because of that I missed ALL the fun you had with this awesome image of the KEYS!!!!! That was my very FIRST thought too!!!!! Thanks a HUGE BUNCH for the thought and giving it to me!!!!! Are they the keys to your safety deposit box at Fort Knox KY? And they are now mine????? hehehehe Ma #5775643David Pratt April 11, 2008

Gary Lange April 17, 2008
Patrick, I think they're stacked keyes. It certainly reminds me of some great French Toast with syrup, what with the effects and lighting. Outstanding!! #5800393

When we were growing up our Mom always made us laugh. No matter what sized gift we'd give her (ring sized box or jumbo) she'd always guess, "A PAIR OF SLIPPERS?".
So even thought I think they are the KEYS to the GOLDEN CITY, I will say SLIPPERS! Ha! -Laura #5846370
