|
In this episode host Jeanne Benedict helps chocolate lover Virginia create a chocolate themed party for her guests. They start by making candles from scratch that look and smell just like bon-bon chocolate candies. Next they create customized candy shaped soaps for the powder room. For the appetizer, Jeanne and Virginia make white chocolate rosemary chutney to top a round of camembert cheese. For the entree they make a chocolate-merlot bordelaise sauce to accompany grilled filet mignon. The final touch for the chocolate themed event comes in the way of chocolate cakes each guest gets to take home with them -- white and dark chocolate bands to adorn the cakes topped with chocolate shavings.
This party is rated 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most difficult, and is geared toward the skills of a frequent entertainer.
