CHOCOLATE HEART COOKIES
For a dramatic presentation, I dust dessert plates with cocoa powder and drizzle on a bit of melted raspberry fruit spread. I place a couple of these melt-in-your-mouth cookies in the center, along with some fresh rasberries, lemon zest and a sprig of mint. -TerryAnn Moore Vineland, New Jersey

CHOCOLATE HEART (ADULT BEVERAGE)
I adapted this from drinksmixer.com. Be careful...it goes down a little too easy! (The original recipe uses cream instead of milk...feel free, but I have dietary restrictions so I can't have that much fat in a drink!)

Steps:
- Add a few ice cubes to a highball glass. Pour in liqueurs and drop in a couple maraschino cherries (I add a little of the cherry juice, too). Pour the cream down the sides of the glass and stir lightly before serving.
- You can also hold the cherries out, top with whipped cream and cherries.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that has at least 70% cacao content.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up light and fluffy.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
- Be careful not to over-whip the cream. If you whip it too much, it will start to separate.
- Serve the chocolate hearts immediately, or they will start to melt.
