As part of the tradition, also to save money, I always try to make some yummy treats for Valentine's day. I think I've made tiramisu at least twice now including last year, so I am sorta switching it up this year making heart-shaped chocolate flavored marshmallows instead :D It's the same basic marshmallow recipe I always used except with cocoa powder added toward the end and dusted with cocoa powder instead of corn starch. Let me just say... I think the name for these little things should be DEVIL's HEARTS! OMG what a complete PITA to get them out of their tiny heart shaped molds!! I had to scrap the side of each one to get them out, all 32 of them!! And each little heart is only about a bit more than an inch wide. I think the problem is mainly because I replaced the usual step of spraying non-stick spray and dusting the pan with corn starch with dusting with just cocoa powder thinking it'd be ok. WRONG!! I guess cocoa powder is just not the same when it comes to stick prevention. Oh well, you live and learn everyday I guess :P They are mighty tasty though, kinda reminded me of chocolate flavored taffy actually... weird...
Also I made Hainanese chicken rice again for dinner hehe.. very yumm!! Gosh I should've taken some pics.. oh well..
