A kiss on the lips may be quite sentimental…
but chocolate is a girl’s best friend.
On Valentine’s Day, plain and simple… chocolate reigns supreme. This makes it the perfect time to make fancy chocolate decorations and confections. For example, elegant chocolate dessert cups for a lovely after dinner treat filled with chocolate mousse , a romantic mini cake for two with a festive chocolate bow, a handmade chocolate box stuffed with truffles, or some luscious chocolate dipped fruit, perhaps a pot of chocolate fondue as a sexy side dish. The ideas are limited only by your imagination…
