Sweeten Up Your Valentine’s Day with Chocolate Body Paint

No matter what your plans are for this upcoming Valentine’s Day you can always make it a little sweeter and your sweetheart will be glad you did. This delicious chocolate body paint will have your honey clawing the bedsheets as you lick it off.

You will need:

17.05oz high quality dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet) chopped
13.5oz cream
1/2 bunch mint, finely chopped
1 chili pepper, finely chopped
double shot espresso

1. Divide cream into 3 indivdual pans.

2. Add mint into 1 pan, chili into the second pan and espresso into the third pan.

3. Slowly warm each pan to a near simmer and remove from heat allowing flavor to infuse for 15 minutes.

4. Place dark chocolate in a small bowl and set over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir this constantly until chocolate melts.

5. Remove pan from heat.

6. Divide chocolate into 3 small pots.

7. Return pans of cream to heat and once hot, strain each pan of cream into 1 chocolate pot, creating 3 separate flavored chocolate body paints.

Get a soft paintbrush and let your imagination take over!

Great idea! It sounds a lot better than just spreading chocolate on yourself =) It kind of reminds me of that chocolate rooms they made in New York for Valentine’s day last year. I guess I am just a huge fan of Chocolate =D

Thanks for the recipe – I’m sure it will taste a whole lot better when you make it yourself instead of that horrible stuff they sell in jars!
