Snow and Chocolate

It didn't snow for Christmas but it did for my birthday!  It snuck up on us when we least expected it.  We three Bloomington kiwis are pretty happy about this because we haven't had much snow this winter.

I got the book: Intensely Chocolate out of the library yesterday so we planned a chocolate baking party this afternoon for some pre-birthday fun.  We made mocha-walnut cupcakes with dulche de leche frosting, bitter-sweet chocolate multi-flavoured buttons, cranberry-walnut semi-sweet chocolate bark, and semi-sweet chocolate mousse with blackberry compote parfait.  Yumbo.  A lovely way to spend a flurry afternoon.
