Valentines

I made dipped chocolate pretzels (for Terrance because he loves them) while he was at school Friday and I was at home for my day off.


How to make chocolate dipped pretzels:



Step 1- Smash up some different candies that you would like to sprinkle on top. I chose some old Christmas candy I had found.



Step 2: Then melt some chocolate in a double boiler. Mine is obviously home made I put a glass bowl in my medium pot with water in between. the double boiler prevents your chocolate from burning, especially for people like me who get distracted and for get to stir for a bit too long.

Step 3: Cover any thing you want with the melted chocolate, this time for me I chose pretzel sticks.

Step 4: Sprinkle crushed candies on top of melted chocolate.


Step 5: Place them on plastic or wax paper so they are easily removed when chocolate is hardened.

Our Valentines

For our 2nd valentines day together I made Terrance a heart shaped pizza with an arrow going through (sorry there is no pic. we were hungry) along with the chocolate sticks which I made on Friday and froze (Terrance discovered them on Saturday and convinced me we should eat one). I also got him some algae eater fish for our tank so he could have some fish in there too, I think he really liked them since he watched them for a very long time, it was so cute. Terrance got me some beautiful pink roses, sparkling cider and a baby sling (I asked for the sling just because I will want one eventually and it was on sale, not for current use). It has been a great day.
