The Dark and Evil Side of Dark Chocolate.

  • Piping Bag Explosion

    It’s fairly obvious what happened here.

    Or is it?

    Because I still don’t know where things went wrong.

    One minute I was successfully piping dark chocolate on the most-excellent Hokey Pokey Sponge Toffee, and the next minute I was taking a chocolate shower.

    Five minutes prior I arrogantly asked The Husband if he wanted to see me make my own piping bag out of a giant parchment paper triangle.

    “I’ve seen you make one before.”

    I can accept that kind of rejection, because in The Husband’s defense, it was 6:53-ish in the morning and he was wolfing down his cereal to get out the door on time for work.  Not exactly a lot of time to be amazed by my kitchen prowesses.

    I made the bag (thoroughly impressed by my make-your-own-piping-bag origami act and for being so resourceful [a.k.a. too lazy to look for the disposable Wilton piping bags I have meticulously stored in the back of one of our cupboards]), filled the parchment bag up with dark chocolate, and went to town on the sponge toffee.  And then I felt something soothingly warm on my hand.

    Fortunately The Husband was willing to take a photo of the mess for me.

    I then, rather unsoothingly, got chocolate all over the sleeve of my pajamas and all over the bracelet I never take off, which then spread chocolate to almost every other surface in our kitchen.

    If you make this Hokey Pokey recipe you’ll so absolutely and completely know it was worth it for my shoddily-made piping bag to blow up on me.  And maybe if your piping bag blows up on you too, the idea of a chocolate shower first thing in the morning is the definition of a perfect way to start your day… who knows.
