Chocopalooza: Valentine’s Day 2012

I don’t know where my brain has been hiding these days.

In fact, I’m starting to think that it has burrowed down in the dirt like a groundhog for six more weeks of winter.

Walking into rooms, only to forget what I was looking for. Letting my stand mixer whip cake batter to a dry, overbeaten pulp. Forgetting to watch the weekly episode of “Four Weddings.” Honestly, I just don’t know what’s happening to me.

Although the whole forgetting to watch “Four Weddings” might be a good thing, because all the shots of yummy wedding food always send me diving for a bowl of snacks to munch along with the guests.

The point of the matter is, my brain’s decided to go on spring break waaay earlier than I had planned, which means that I completely forgot to tell you guys about the absolute chocolate downpour that was my Valentine’s Day.

To start off, my mom gave my sister and I a lovely, lovely collection of Jacques Torres chocolate goodies, from a deliciously decadent hot chocolate mix…

…to gigantic chocolate chip cookies that I swear are made with layers of thin slabs of chocolate rather than simple chips…

…to cute, chocolate-covered cheerios.

On February 14th itself, I got some b-e-a-yoootiful flowers from my dad…

…as well as a few other chocolate-y surprises…

Now, before you go thinking that I just sit around, inhaling huge boxes of chocolates, this collection was for my mom, my sister, and I to share.

We treasure boxes of chocolates the way some people treasure diamonds.

Now that I’ve gushed to you all about my sugar high of a Valentine’s Day, tell me—how did you celebrate??
