Valentine's Day Food P**n

Is there anything more sensual than naked swollen fruit dipped in deepest darkest velvety chocolate?  Dear Mike's Health readers, I think not!  Bring one of these gorgeous red berries to your lips and just let your mouth melt the chocolate robe, then lustfully, mercilessly crush the delicate flesh.  Let the sweet juices and the tender flesh fill your mouth.  Feel the bitter magic mingle with the virginal fruit.  Like sex in your mouth.  But why stop there?  Oh no, let's bring this culinary moment to it's proper climax with a tantalizingly small demitasse of hot chocolate.  Not any hot chocolate, mind you.  No, this is Abbey's hot chocolate.



Abbey's Hot Chocolate

8 oz semi-sweet morsels
1 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Melt chocolate and cream in double boiler over simmering water.  Add spices, almond milk, and vanilla extract.  Constantly stirring, allow the mixture to warm over the simmering water until there is just a slight bit of perceptible steam rising from the chocolate.  This is perfect sipping temperature.  Dip up into small demitasse or espresso cups.  Enjoy with someone you love!  (Mike's Health Magazine can't be held responsible for what happens next, although if it's particularly sexy, we will take full credit!)  By the way, I do this for you guys and I love you all!  Happy Valentines' Day!
