Chocolate heaven...

 One of the joys of winter for me is hot chocolate.............

and of course, my addiction fondness for coffee has been well documented on here. So I was looking at these chocolate spoons that they sell in the coffee shops. You dunk them into your chocolate or coffee and let the warm melted chocolate melt slowly into the drink. Heaven. What isn't so heavenly is the price, so I bought some plastic spoons, dark, milk and white chocolate and set about melting and dipping.....

I popped a sliver of marshmallow onto each spoon.....

and packaged them up in cello wrap with a red velvet bow - well, those that I am prepared to give away, my little stash is safely tucked away in the fridge.....

It set me thinking, what else do I love about winter? Christmas of course, snow falling and the beauty of a snowy landscape. Robins hopping about the garden, and those pesky squirrels are safely tucked up in their nests for the winter. Those dark evenings, when it seems perfectly okay to curl up with a book in front of the fire at 4 p.m. I like winter clothes too, much better than summer gear - you can cover up a multitude of sins in the winter! What do you enjoy?

So no card today, just chocolate, well all my creative energy went into my spoons. See you tomorrow x
