Chocolate Covered Squid - Valentine's Day Candy From the Sea

Step 3 Plate the Chocolates and Enjoy

With the chocolate sauce hardened and the squid nice and firm from the freezer the chocolates were pretty much done. I placed them onto a plate with some valentines day garnishes (many thanks to Canida for creating the blood orange skin heart) and then put the chocolates on the table to let them enjoy the view of the bay area sunset.

These were originally intended to be a Valentines Day super romantic present, but unfortunately my valentine is far away from me these days, and since squid don't travel very well in the mail, I ate them myself.

Happy Valentines Day.

Where do I find squid?

[Azayles]

Under the sea
Under the sea
There you will find it
If you don't mind it
Take it from me!

Squid are the ones which taste so good
Try them with chocolate, you really should
Dip them in Dagoba
Nothing is better
Under the sea!

Try markets that cater to or have large Oriental or Mexican populations in the States. I can get frozen squid in Walmart in Tx.

surely it's very easy to find in the market, try to go to your nearest store

Dude, flipping brilliant. This also works with smoked salmon, and/or candied salmon. Octopus also works good, because the tentacles have a nice, slightly sweet flavour.
