Love is in the Air

Well Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I thought I would give you all a great tasty love snack. Now I haven't tried these yet, but judging from the reviews they are not going to fail. How can you go wrong with chocolate? I’m intrigued to taste the chili in the chocolate. I'm going to make them for my single roommates and I (just because we are single doesn't mean we deserve to be treated!). I'll keep you posted on how they turn out.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pure chili powder, such as ancho
• 10 large strawberries with long stems

Directions

In a heat-proof mixing bowl, add the chocolate, cream, and butter. Place over a smaller pot of simmering water. Be sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in the chili powder and mix until fully incorporated.

Hold each strawberry by the long stem and dip into the chocolate allowing the excess to drizzle back into the pan. Place chocolate covered strawberries on a parchment or waxed paper lined sheet tray. Once chocolate is cool, chill until fully set, about 30 minutes.
