When I want to look cool - I drink a chocolate martini. The
only thing is I always forget about the chuck of chocolate
that sits at the bottom of the glass, invariably I choke on
it - how cool is that? To avoid this rather humiliating situation,
I suggest the making of chocolate lollipops… Allow a chunk
chocolate to sit at room temperature. When it is soft enough
pierce it with a swanky cocktail stick and place the newly
made chocolate lollipop in the fridge to set.
