Chocolate Beetle

About 200kgs of melted chocolate was spread over the VW Beetle after it was first wrapped in cling film. Seven people worked overnight to make sure the chocolate car was ready to go on display on the morning of Valentine's Day. According to China News Network, the car attracted many viewers and lovers to the dealer in Qingdao city.

Will's Ten Rules For Eating Your Valentine Chocolates

1. Put 'eat chocolate' at the top of your list of things to do on Valentine's day. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
2. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.
3. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
4. The problem: How to get two pounds of Valentine chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.
5. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite, and you'll eat less.
6. If you can't eat all your Valentine chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
7. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?
8. Money talks. Chocolate sings. Beautifully.
9. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Therefore, you need to eat more chocolate.
10. A nice box of Valentine chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy?

Valentine Chocolate Ice Cream

Here is a wonderful Valentine chocolate idea.  Combine, ice-cream, dark chocolate, brownie mixture and a liqueur to make a wonderful heart-shaped, mouth-watering desert.

The secret is to make the 'Brownie' biscuit the day before and then assemble the ice-cream sandwich just before you serve it. 

However, making alcoholic ice cream is not easy, it takes practice to get the liqueur blended and frozen.  The good news is that even if the 'failures' don't look elegant, the still taste good.

Ingredients for Valentine Chocolate Brownies

1. A box of brownie mix
2. 2 eggs
3. Half a cup of oil
4. Two table-spoons of instant coffee
5. One tea-spoon of vanilla escence
6. 4 oz of quality dark chocolate, cut into smallish chunks.  (Use your favourite chocolate not a cheap cooking subsitute)
7. Three fingers of a liqueur such as Bailey's Cream.  (Will likes to experiment with whisky)

Method to Make Valentine Chocolate Ice Cream

Preheat your oven to 340 degrees.

Lightly grease an ''18'' x ''12'' tin (or jellyroll pan).  Top tip, line the bottom with a cake liner.

Mix the liqueur with the instant coffee and vanilla; stir until the coffee is dissolved. In a large bowl, mix the brownie mixture, eggs and oil; stir vigorously.  Add the chocolate pieces. Pour mixture into the tin and coax the mixture out to the edges of the tin.  Place pan in a 340 degree oven. Bake for 13-16 minutes. When brownies are done to your liking (13 minutes for gooey), remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

To create your sandwich masterpiece: use a heart-shaped cookie to create the brownies.   Take a clean tin and spread out the brownie hearts in a single layer in the pan.  Now get the ice cream from the freezer.   Cut the ice cream into shapes using the same heart-shaped cookie cutter you used for the brownies.

Carefully place the ice cream shape on top of one brownies and cover with another brownie. If you have time, repeat this process to create a double-decker sandwich.  Cover pan of Valentine sandwiches with cling-film (plastic wrap) and immediately place in the freezer.  After about an hour in the freezer, the sandwiches can be individually wrapped in plastic if desired.  For those not on a diet, you could even serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Will and Guy Commission Research into Chocolate

Eating chocolate is more stimulating to the heart and the head than kissing, according to new research conducted in 2007.

The study found that at the point the chocolate melted in the mouth, all regions of the brain received a boost far more intense and longer lasting than the mental excitement from kissing.

Chocolate also set the heart pounding, with heart rates for some of the 12 volunteers rising from a resting rate of about 60 beats per minute to as high as 140.

Dr David Lewis, a psychologist formerly of the University of Sussex who led the study, said, 'These results really surprised and intrigued us.'

Dr Lewis, who now runs a private research company called The Mind Lab, added, 'There is no doubt that chocolate beats kissing hands down when it comes to providing a long-lasting body and brain buzz.'

Worth remembering on St Valentine's Day when a box of chocolates for a loved one could be as good as several kisses!

Chocolate - On Parade

First soldier: 'Pass me the chocolate pudding, would you?'

Second soldier: 'Certainly not.'

First soldier: 'Why not?'

Second soldier: 'Because it's against regulations to help another soldier to dessert.'
