experimenting

Yesterday I tried a new chocolate recipe.  It made enough batter for 2 baked hot chocolates.  For the ganache I used semi sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and heavy cream.  The cream makes the ganache shiny.  I am shipping these to J and S in San Diego.  Hopefully they will each arrive in one piece.

baked hot chocolate

I/we need to do some experimenting with baking cakes in mugs.  Christmas break project?  I think so. 

Possibilities: red velvet, peanut butter, double chocolate, toasted coconut... ?

the idea

I wanted to work with something I love.  I love creating things with food.  I love chocolate.  I love presents.  I want to go to culinary school to learn more.  I came up with the idea.


iheartchocolate is an online company that makes specialty chocolate gifts for any chocolate lover.  My resources are my family.  My older sister(one) has the talent of design.  She designs things on her fancy computer that are pleasing to my eye.  My younger sister(three) is a wiz in the kitchen.  She makes the best cookies and treats.  My baby sister(four) has the business mind.  She went to grad school and works for the governor of our state.  It would be a waste if the four us did not combine our great minds in this business venture.


The idea is that we will have unique chocolate treats that are wrapped up in sweet modern packaging.  The  gift receiver will not want to open the gift as it will be a treat in itself.  However, once that gift is opened and the chocolate indulgence has begun, the guilt of ripping open the package will long be forgotten.
