Chocolate has to be my favorite Valentine tradition, and what food blog would be complete without a little participation? Since hubby loves my chocolate covered blueberries so much, and I happened to find some really nice blueberries a few days ago, I decided to surprise him with a batch. And since it's Valentine's Day, I wanted to make them really special, so I made a bowl for them out of chocolate covered pretzels!
You can see the step by step instructions/recipe for the chocolate covered blueberries here. For the pretzel bowl, follow the same method used for dipping the blueberries, and just set the dipped pretzels onto a plastic-wrap-covered upside down bowl of the size you desire, ensuring there is plenty of chocolate between the pretzels to keep them solidly stuck together. Allow to set completely before removing from the bowl and filling - refrigerate for a faster set. (Sorry I don't have photos of this process, I was trying to get this project completed quickly this morning so I'd have time for it to set to make it to hubby's lunch break for his surprise)!
I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! More new recipes are on their way to you soon!
Enjoy!
Sue
