Christmas has came and gone but with the new year there's always a time for celebration. A celebration with someone you love. What a perfect way to enjoy a bottle of wine and your favorite kind of chocolate on Valentine's Day .
These are some new wine bottle creations I made myself for some of my past clients and colleagues this past year in real estate for Christmas. They were really easy to make. And can even be made for children's drinks as well using sparkling cider and fun sprinkles.
Here's what you're going to need:
|
Ribbon for the top to pull chocolate off with. |
|
A bottle of white or red wine. Or sparkling cider/grape juice for the non-alcoholic drinkers. You could probably even use a bottle of Baileys and have chocolate and coffee! |
|
Tape string from top to bottom then wrap the Glad Press and Seal around from the stem. |
|
It was a learning experience so, it was hard melting the chocolate, taking pictures, and covering the bottles all at once. Use baker's chocolate and melt over stove with warm water and additional pot. You an also use almond bard as well. Once the chocolate has been melted, I found that spreading the chocolate on with a cake frosting knife worked the best in my non-commercial kitchen. If you choose to put on sprinkles, nuts, and/or any other topping I suggest you have two people helping and you do it quickly or the chocolate will harden faster than you can get it on. |

Here's an example of the chocolate shavings from the wine bottle once you pull the string to release. So get out your wine glasses and enjoy! |

Finished products! Some with peppermint, some with m&m's, some with nuts, and some with sprinkles. Use your imagination and have fun!
Until then,
Stay New
