We are way too cute for our own good.

caro's going to PEI this weekend: an early valentine's day celebration with andrei.
so rather than doing the homework we were supposed to be doing last night, carolyn and i spent the evening making chocolates.

bitter-sweet, milk-chocolate, white vanilla, caramel bits, peanuts, coconut. take your pick of favorite ingredients and start inventing.
poured into ice-cube tray moulds, decorated with pink and white coloured chocolate, shavings, and crunchy toppings. assembled into heart-shaped boxes with tissue paper.

our kitchen looked like willy-wonka's tornado hit it by the time we were done, but it was so much fun, and they worked better than i ever thought they would.

i even found a recipe for making chocolate roses. did you know that if you add corn-syrop to melted chocolate and then let it cool, it becomes the texture of workable clay?
