I won a lifetime online cooking school through Rouxbe. I thought I would share one of their recipes for Valentine's Day. GO over and sheck them out I think you will really want to join. When I seen the contest I was so excited and even though I have been cooking for a long time I really was wishing I would win. My 14 year old son wants to be a chef so I knew it would be perfect for him also. I cannot wait to get started with him. I already know the first thing we are going to make. :o)

Finely chop the chocolate. Melt it on low heat over a double boiler. Remove from the heat and add the butter. Mix until melted and evenly combined.
