If you like to dream and bake I have another recipe for you:
8 ounces (226g) semi-sweet or bittersweet quality chocolate
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place pitted dates, vanilla extract,rum, cocoa powder, almonds, sunflower seeds into your food processor.
Blend/pulse until a moist dough forms - 1 to 2 min. ( add 1-2 more soaked dates or even a teaspoon of pure maple syrup.)
Once dough is formed, scoop out 1 Tablespoon of dough. Roll into a smooth ball and place onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Set aside as you melt the chocolate in the next step.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave.
Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping.
Dip each ball completely into the chocolate.
When lifting it out of the chocolate, remember to tap the dipping tool gently on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place each back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has set, about 30 minutes.
Now, let’s enjoy our little healthy, happy balls of joy…
Chocolate Almond Truffles
I am sending you love with all the angels singing behind and above me…
who just reminded me about Taylor Swift Grammy Acceptance Speech
“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.
But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there.
And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment”
I am in mood for …truffles. Healthy, chocolaty, full of almonds and sunflower seeds and very easy to make.
If you are plain Jane the picture below might be your piece of truffle …

I am in mood to eat something chocolaty, romantic … something that has story from the last century. In Europe
A famous Hungarian Gypsy is playing violin at a Paris restaurant, where husband and wife are having dinner.
The wife is Clara Ward, the only daughter of American millionaire E. B. Ward.
The husband is Prince Joseph. That is how the story started…Just a dinner with the music..
Of course at that time we did not have TMZ but I am happy to report to you what happened.
The wife, Clara Ware was seduced by this famous violinist player, Rigo Jancsi. And she left her husband Prince Joseph.
And married a famous Gipsy, Rigó Jancsi in Hungary.
In order to celebrate their romantic love story this cake was created. It is called Rigo Jancsi.
The cake has two layers of chocolate-sponge cake. Between the two chocolate sponge cake layers is a thick layer of very rich, chocolate and cream filling

Frank Sinatra – I’m In The Mood For Love
I’m in the mood for love
Simply because you’re near me
Funny, but when you’re near me
I’m in the mood for love
Heaven was in your eyes
Bright as the stars we’re under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I’m in the mood for love
Why should we think of weather?
This little dream might fade
We’ll put our hearts together
Now we are one, I’m not afraid
If there’s a cloud above
If it should rain, we’ll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I’m in the mood

5 Star Cookies – Cake View
LADY IN RED
I’ve never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright
I’ve never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They’re looking for a little romance, given half a chance
And I have never seen that dress you’re wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here, it’s just you and me
It’s where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight
I’ve never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I’ve never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing
I’ve never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There’s nobody here, it’s just you and me
It’s where I want to be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I’ll never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red, the lady in red
The lady in red, my lady in red
I love you
