It’s Chocolate Covered Anything Day and OH MY! Last night my mind was wondering through my pantry trying to think about anything and everything I can cover in chocolate!
I had visions of making the kids think I am crazy with homemade waffles dipped in chocolate, create some chocolate covered crepes, and then dip whatever I can find in the fruit bowl with chocolate! Reality was I woke up today with a sick child and lots of calls to different doctors, etc.
Most chocoholics might not know about the national observance of National Chocolate Covered Anything Day which brings happiness each December 16th but it’s one I use as an excuse to make a few extra dishes to indulge with.
