The holidays are always such a whirlwind of family, friends, parties, presents, and of course new recipes. If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a dozen times Melinda and I LOVE bite-size food. There is just something fun about food you can pick up and eat in one or two bites. The fact that you can eat 2 or 3 and not feel guilty doesn’t hurt either!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

We usually talk about savory appetizers like mini lasagna rolls, and baked crab bites, but we don’t make nearly enough bite-size desserts. I mean if we’re going to be able to sample lots of small bites of food we need more dessert options, right? This year during the holidays we came up with a rich and creamy, bite-size dessert, that is going to be perfect for Valentine’s Day!

These pretty Chocolate Ganache Cups start with premade chocolate cups that I found at Walmart. These things are great! I made a simple ganache with hot cream and bittersweet chocolate and, after letting it cool for awhile, I poured it into the chocolate cups. Then I let the ganache cool completely and made a shiny dark chocolate glaze to top it with. The finishing touch was a bright red raspberry. Aren’t they beautiful? When you serve these decadent dark chocolate cups on Valentine’s Day your sweetie will definitely know how much you love them!
