\"chocolate<\/p>\n

\nWhat is the perfect dessert for a romantic evening?
\nA cup made from chocolate filled with mousse and topped with a vanilla foam.
\nAccording to a study done in a bookstore in Belgium the smell of chocolate made customers browse for longer. Interest in cookbooks and romance novels increased as did the interaction with staff. Customers were not as interested in history or crime thrillers when the smell of chocolate was around.\n<\/p>\n

For 4 chocolate cups you will need:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

* Rectangle of plastic acetate for chocolate work can be purchased from chef supply stores or you can buy acetate from craft stores or use clear plastic from overhead projector sheets. My rectangle was 26cm (10.24 inches) x 10cm (3.94 inches)<\/p>\n

* a saucer, the one I used was 15.5cm (6.1 inches) in diameter<\/p>\n

* 500g (17.64 ounces) Tempered Chocolate (or you can use fake\/compound chocolate see this post on what chocolate to use and tempering<\/a>) The amount of chocolate that you need will vary with cup size and the thickness you make your chocolate.<\/p>\n

* a little oil and some plastic wrap<\/p>\n

* handle template<\/a><\/p>\n
