as i said when i started this blog, i've got some catch up posts to include things i've made recently, but pb (pre-blog). this is one of those posts. each year my husband and i host a themed holiday party. we decided on chocolate for 2007 and i went all out. i'm including my menu and some pictures, but if you'd like specific recipes of anything you see or read here, please send me a note. i'm happy to share - many are original recipes and all are very tasty.
2007 holiday party menu
white chocolate, pistachio and dried cranberry salad on endive leaves
extra dark cocoa chili dip
cocoa-bbq pulled pork on miniature biscuits
chocolate chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce
-----------------------------
cocoa meringues
chocolate mint truffles
spicy chile truffles
helen's brownies
-----------------------------
hot cocoa spiked with goldschlรคger or peppermint schnapps
chocolate martinis
what i learned from this party is 1. finding traditional appetizers with chocolate as an ingredient is difficult; 2. adding cocoa to many dishes works - it adds a deeper flavor without sweetness; and 3. people really do love to eat chocolate.
