Food for Thought

In dedication to February, I've decided to list five tasty treats for all you busting your brains about what edible arrangements to indulge in.

1. Chocolate-covered Strawberries:
I don't even like chocolate like that and I'm having sudden surges of desire for these. Fruit and candy mixed together? Scrumptious. Edible Arrangements has fruit baskets for sale or you can purchase them alone, in a sweetheart bouquet. Either way, you can't go wrong with this classic fave.

2. Kissable Massage Oil:
One of Victoria's biggest secrets this month comes in a flavor called vanilla craving, and who doesn't love vanilla?! Massages are underrated. Not many people tend to give them out but they're so relaxing, especially since ten times out of ten we've felt stress at some point that week. The media makes it seem as if we have to go to spas to receive them but it's much more special coming from a loved one. Make your massages count.

3. Edible Body Icing:
Brush included, this goodie is sure to inspire you. You know what's just as good as a personally written card? A personalized, painted note on that special someone. Hotel Chocolat has a yummy chocolate and caramel mix and Vickies Secrets has body icing available in midnight chocolate.

4. Have Your Cake and Eat it Too:
Sometimes homemade treats are better than just purchasing. You can show that someone that you took the time out to really make them something from the heart. You can tailor the flavor to something you know they would like and even write your own message or add your own decorations. If you're stuck on what kind of cake to make, red velvet has always been a personal favorite!

5. Be a Sweetie:
There's so many choices in candies to choose from. You can spice up your life with kiss-shaped chocolates, covered lightly in cocoa butter and filled with chilli jam from The Chocolate Trading Company. Other sweet ideas include hand-crafted, dark chocolate stilettos for the fashion savvy or gelatin hearts or rice krispies hearts for those who prefer treats with less calories. The ideas are limitless!
