So I've been a little bit in a chocolate madness mood for the last 18 years or so but lately I've been experimenting with chocolate sheets, bowls, roses, spider webs, shot glasses, truffles. This is just one products of that obsession.

I wonder how many times I've said the word chocolate, this question will be answered at the end of the blog.
Anyways, chocolate. I've decided to make this blog about the amazing things you can make with chocolate.
First melting chocolate; by itself, with heavy cream or butter/shortening.
I like melting by itself and not adding any of those things, but they do make the chocolate smoother, so have at it if you'd like.
Second, flavors! Cayenne, coffee, orange, vanilla, liquor; all amazing all can be added while melting the chocolate. Layers of flavor, get them in there!
Next shaping the chocolate! Molds people! Molds! They are everywhere, use them. Spoons, candy molds, strawberries, almonds, martini glasses. Parchment paper is your best friends here! And bowls like the one pictured above... BALLOONS! Is genius when you think about it!
Finally: Toppings! Zest, lemon, orange, almonds, pistachios, sea salt, more chocolate!
I will explore every aspect of chocolate in later post, but for the most part I'm done and do some non-chocolate stuff. I know it's sad.
Chocolate said a total of: 15 times!
Hooray.
