The only reason why Valentine’s day falls in February is because it’s the bleakest month out of the year, and people need something to brighten it up. Although for those not fortunate to have someone to share it with, it’s an even bleaker month. (is bleaker a word?)
Valentine, or no Valentine, I do love the red candy. I was reading a friend-of-a-friend’s blog, someone I don’t know(is that weird?)… and she was talking about how she loved the cherry hearts. All while reading this, I was thinking, “yeah, YEAH! Me too!!!” Then I promptly went to Walgreens and picked up two bags. She should get a commission from Brach’s if you ask me.
I also got chocolate at Walgreens, dark chocolate. YUM. During Christmas we (my mom, sisters and me) made chocolate dipped cinnamon bears which were delish! I wanted to do the same, except use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, and cherry flavored gummies, instead of cinnamon. Wednesday evening, Chris and I decided to try melting the Hershey’s chocolate and see if it would work. I know, I know, Hershey’s isn’t my first choice in chocolate, but it was the cheapest at the store. I have to say… by melting the chocolate and adding just a little bit of milk, the chocolate transformed into something divine! I’m really happy that they worked out as well as they did.
Now I’ve got to figure out what to do for Chris for Valentine’s day.
