Valentine's treats with the kids

Our awesome Dove chefs came up with some adorable new chocolate treats, and I was eager to get home and make them with my kiddos.

They are these cutie patootie ice cream cones!



Dont you just love them????

You start off with some mini cones....this brand is the perfect size.....





Use giant marshmallows, they fit perfectly inside



My daughter is, "Star of the Week"...which means she gets to bring the class frog home for some good times. He helped her put the marshmallows in the cones.



I tempered Dove Dark chocolate in my tempering unit. Tempering the chocolate means it will harden up, nice and crisp, with a pretty shine. By the way, the tempering units are going on SUPER SPECIAL in March.....if you are interested, let me know, this will be the lowest price EVER, lower than our previous wholesale cost.

But back to the treats....

I dip the marshmallow into the chocolate....



Because it's Valentine's Day, I will top them off with some pink and white hearts....



Just a few sprinkled on top....



Beauty and her frog are so proud of their creation!

and the winner is.........

Congratulations Gina!!

You win either the Dove Peanut Butter and Chocolate Smoothies, or Dove Chocolate Espresso Beans....Im assuming from your post that your going to choose the Espresso Beans...they are delicious!

Send me your address, and Ill get those shipped out to you.

Thanks for entering! Enjoy!

What's a Chocolate Party????

What's a Chocolate Party?? When people find out that Im a Chocolatier with Dove Chocolate Discoveries, and that I do Chocolate parties for a living, their eyes light up. They arent always sure what a chocolate party is, but chocolate + party must be good, right? RIGHT!

Imagine watching a live food show, surrounded by your favorite friends, where Chocolate is the main ingredient and samples abound. During my presentation, I make designer chocolate candies, and create beverages such as Java Chip Smoothies, and show you how to present an elegant dessert like Chocolate Mousse in Petite Chocolate Cups - in less than 5 minutes! There is plenty more, and it's all made with premium Dove Chocolate.

People have a blast at the chocolate parties, and the hostess has the option of serving Dove Chocolate Martini's too.

This is the party that your friends want to attend....and in February, the hostess will earn DOUBLE CREDIT to stock up on her own goodies, like Spiced Chai Tea and Raspberry Dessert Sauce, or Double Chocolate Truffle Brownies.

Im thankful that I have found a business that is so much fun, and flexible too.
