A holiday dedicated to chocolate and pink makes me all giddy inside.
I'm was so close to buying myself a box full of See's candy, you know the ones covered in those chocolate jimmy sprinkles? But then I had to remind myself that I've finally noticed my hips are somewhat shrinking from having baby number two...And I really really want to fit into a cute pair of colored jeans by spring. Pink ones preferably...with glitter. I think my 2 year old has a pair.
Cute?

So I figured I would make a truffle that would still give me that sweet taste without making my butt looking like a large pink jaw breaker in those pink skinny jeans...
And a what a jaw breaker that would be to see something like that...
