My sweet Devilish Dish Assistant Emily came over for dinner the other night. She is your typical 13 year-old girl. She loves anything cute, pink, heart-shaped or sweet. You know with whipped cream and sprinkles on top? So we had a "Make Your Own Calzone Bar" with all of the traditional pizza toppings. Only to be cheesy, girly, Valentine-y and nontraditional, we made them heart-shaped. There was only about a tablespoon of filling in each one, and the pizza dough wasn't really made for the heart-shaped pie maker, and we didn't get enough to eat. But we won't go there. We'll talk about how fun and cute and heart-themed our meal was. Thankfully since we were still hungry, we made Valentine's White Hot Chocolate for dessert. It was rich. Super rich. Like serve in a demi-tasse cup and not a jumbo mug rich. I told Emily's mom the menu and she replied, "You are going to be her hero." And I was. We had so much fun making and CONSUMING our Valentine's Hot Chocolate. And YES, we topped it with whipped cream, pink sprinkles and pink heart-shaped marshmallows because we're cool like that. OH yeah. And a few cookies on the side.
