Well, I bet you wondered what happened to me - I didn't go far - just got caught up in owning a store and having a life during very busy holiday times. I trust that you had a great Valentine's Day and now Easter is upon us Please be patient with our "Seasonal Ideas Page". My webmaster (my son) has been finishing up his senior project and will graduate from University of California San Diego in June. To say that he has been busy is an understatement, but upon graduatation he will be on top of everything for us - so just have a little patience with us.
Just in case you are still needing some ideas for Easter - I will throw a few out at you right now. If you have an "egg" mold you can of course do the normal molding of chocolate in the mold and everyone will be happy. But if you want to be just a little different try following this--
Give your mold a "shell" of white chocolate - let dry at room temp. Fill with caramel and back off with white - so that now you have a caramel filled egg. But we are now through - let this "egg" chill up and pop out of the mold. Now I want you to take some yellow chocolate and add some rice krispys to it and mix so that you have a "chunky" texture. Spoon some of this out on the flat side of the egg that you have just made - top with a sprinkle of red sanding sugar and you have just made the sweetest deviled eggs!
Try this - it is really cute and fun!
Keep watching our website for ideas for moms, dads, grads and brides. I am going to be showing some great ideas using "moonpies" and great wedding favors.
I wish you all a peaceful Easter and Passover - I will be talking to you soon.
