February 12, 2012 By Meghan Leave a Comment

This week I created something I've been wanting to try for a long time. Fresh Fruit Chocolates. The idea is simple you just have to keep in mind that it is fresh fruit and it perishes. My ideal fruit chocolate is Raspberries in Dark Chocolate because raspberry flavored things tend to taste like cough syrup, yuck. I got these one year around Valentine's day and they were the best chocolates I've ever had. Making chocolates is fairly easy but it's finding the right chocolate. There are plenty … [Read more...]
