Valentine’s Day Chocolates
Valentine’s Day will be coming up soon. So everyone will be looking for Valentine’s Day chocolates. What about making your own special Valentine’s Day chocolates? What chocolates can you make?
Chocolate For Strawberries
The special chocolate treats you can make for Valentine’s Day is chocolate covered strawberries. What chocolate for strawberries can you use? Honestly chocolate chips.
Melting Chocolate Chips
The best method for melting chocolate chips I feel is a metal bowl over boiling water. You place the chocolate chips in the bowl and put it on top of a pot with boiling water. Stir until the chocolate chips are smooth and melted.
You can do the melting chocolate chips in a microwave or even in a chocolate melter. I prefer the old candy makers’ method of the bowl and boiling water.
Red Velvet Cake Mix
How to turn this chocolate covered fruit into red velvet? The answer was simple, red velvet cake mix! By dipping this chocolate covered fruit just before the chocolate shell hardens into a little bit of red velvet cake mix gives this strawberry that red velvet taste!
Cream Cheese Glaze
If you are going to use a red velvet cake mix on a chocolate covered strawberries, you have to have a cream cheese glaze! How? After a bit of experimenting, I made a cream cheese glaze by melting white chocolate and adding a touch of cream cheese frosting to it.
Then I drizzled on the cream cheese glaze onto the strawberries. This red velvet recipe really looks perfect to be Valentine’s Day chocolates!
