love thursday... love this...


i found this idea on design mom... and she found it on chocolateonmycranium... so cute...

i love fun summer ideas...
 
so... long story short... the ac went out and melted our chocolate... i did not want to throw away all our chocolate so... we melted it and...


we made more chocolates...

...and enjoyed...

when we toured lulas chocolate factory, they told us about how when chocolate gets to a certain temperature (too hot), it blooms... not a good thing, the cocoa butter and the cocoa solids separate and that is what makes the white streaks in the chocolate, and makes it taste different too... to get rid of it, all you have to do is bring the chocolate back to a certain temperature and it will chemically become how chocolate should be...  
a little chemistry lesson... 
who wants to throw away see's chocolate or cadbury chocolate... 
...to mix it up i bought some trader joes super dark chocolate to add to all the super sweet milk chocolate... it turned out so yummy...
we made fun puzzle piece shapes and these thank you chocolates... but they did not last long...
