<p>This past monday was Valentines Day, I decided to try my hand at making chocolate candies, some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honmei_choco" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honmei_choco?referer=');">Honmei Choco</a> for my Boyfriend and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giri_choco" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giri_choco?referer=');">Giri Choco</a> for everyone else!  Of course I don&#8217;t know how to make homemade chocolates from scratch so it came down to Hershey bars!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5459392781_6a1707d5f1_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5459392781_6a1707d5f1_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5459392781_2e89f22a57.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s easier to melt when they are broken down into teeny pieces, it was pretty easy to melt them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5137/5459393059_aa8e3df5ba_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5137/5459393059_aa8e3df5ba_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5137/5459393059_0e0eddda29.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want my Chocos to just be all Chocolate so I bought these Candy Melts, they tasted delicious!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5459393303_6e705b97ec_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5459393303_6e705b97ec_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5019/5459393303_f3c988b09b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I put the pot that i had my chocolate in another pot o boiling water to melt the chocolates, if it has a direct flame underneath it it&#8217;ll burn the chocolates.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5460000234_6cb3345de7_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5460000234_6cb3345de7_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5460000234_3b6d52cd40.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Not long after putting it in the water the chocolate is nicely melted!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5459393841_d1fc2000bc_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5459393841_d1fc2000bc_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5459393841_268617cf3f.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The Candy melts melted easier, just put them in a baggy and microwave it, then cut a small hole in the corner to be able to make whatever design you wanted.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5459394119_07e5a1442e_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5459394119_07e5a1442e_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5459394119_ee6f36e497.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The I took some of the white candy, made a heart design in the mold, then got the red and made a larger design on the white. I switched the colors each time to have some variety.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5459394469_3ded3e62d5_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5459394469_3ded3e62d5_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5459394469_eb711cc78b.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Then I Filled it with Chocolate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5296/5459394727_6ce4a473cb_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5296/5459394727_6ce4a473cb_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5296/5459394727_5b7cb0d505.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Then placed it in the freezer so it would cool down quickly then once they were hard I&#8217;d pop them from the mold and the bag them up for the Valentines Baggies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5460001810_ee913367b0_o.jpg" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5460001810_ee913367b0_o.jpg?referer=');"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5460001810_539363278f.jpg" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I packaged them all up and then included everyone&#8217;s silly Valentines Day cards. Tron themed this year since who doesn&#8217;t like Tron? I was quite pleased with myself with the results. They were very yummy but I&#8217;m all Chocolated out, I will admit while making the Chocolates I&#8217;d sneak a few for myself. Did you give out any Chocolates this year? Are you expecting anything for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_day" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_day?referer=');">White day</a> girls?</p>

<p>For all of you with someone to love, have a great day! For the rest of you awesome single people out there! Let&#8217;s all take this day and not be so cynical, one day we&#8217;ll have someone to celebrate this day with and then we&#8217;ll just be like the rest of these jerks who have someone this year. We&#8217;ll be just like them buying into the chocolates, candies, flowers, lame greeting cards and such.</p>
<p><span id="more-983"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29339104@N04/3280001804/sizes/o/" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photos/29339104_N04/3280001804/sizes/o/?referer=');"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3348/3280001804_65f5314613.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>But until then i&#8217;ll just enjoy this twelve pack of cupcakes i bought for this one picture all by myself. Why all by myself? Because these cupcakes are for single people only, and since I&#8217;m the only single person in the house that means i get them all to myself Muwhahahahahahahahahahaha! I&#8217;d send them to my awesome single friends online as well, but then they&#8217;d be all mushed so then all for myself then!</p>
<p>Also not sure if anyone noticed what the figma&#8217;s candy hearts say. I had it set up that they all held hearts with their own thoughts. Like Tsukasa holds a heart that says &#8220;Love Me,&#8221; Suzaku&#8217;s says &#8220;Hug Me,&#8221; Lulu&#8217;s says &#8220;Hold Me&#8221; and Kagami&#8217;s says &#8220;Cupcake.&#8221; Each one of them is holding the heart that describes what they truly want this Valentines day. I think i&#8217;m with Kagami and that my main focus is this awesome cupcake!</p>
<p>Well i really do wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day! Lets hope we can all find our someone special for at least next year&#8217;s valentines day!</p>
