Recipe: Buried Treasure Meringues
It’s estimated Americans will purchase 58 million pounds of chocolate in honor of Valentine’s Day this year.
And close to 200 million roses (the vast majority red) will join those millions of pounds of chocolate in the homes of lucky Valentine gift recipients around the nation.
Chocolate and red roses, the classic pairing.
Or, for the true foodies among you, chocolate and red cherries – an equally unbeatable combination.

Recipe: Easy Florentines
Now let me say, right off the bat – I’m not one of those people who thinks fooling around with the flavor of chocolate is a good thing.
I mean, I LOVE chocolate – if it’s bittersweet, dark, or semisweet.
Milk chocolate? Meh.
White chocolate? Well, as the guys on Car Talk say, bo-o-o-o-o-gus.
But dark chocolate? I could nibble it all day long. And sometimes do.

Recipe: Pecan & Salted Caramel Candies
Just four simple players: caramel, chocolate, pecans, and sea salt.
Yet the the beautiful music these four friends make together – soft with crunchy, salty with sweet, nutty with chocolate with caramel – you’d think you were hearing a symphony, rather than a string quartet.

Recipe: Peppermint Crunch Bark
Homemade candy.
Does that sound like an oxymoron?
I mean, you probably wouldn’t attempt to make a Milky Way or M&Ms at home. Or Gummi Worms, or Starbursts, or even a simple Charleston Chew.
But chocolate bark?
It doesn’t get any easier.
