My fridge is jam packed with sweet goodness tonight! I was entrusted by my mother-in-law to dip all the fruit and pretzels for Samantha's graduation party tomorrow. I don't think I realized how much dipping that would be! Luckily, I had our friend Patrick helping me all day.
It started at the grocery store this morning with an enormous order of strawberries and cherries to fill. After the cart was filled with 15 boxes of berries and 3 big bags of cherries, we went to find our chocolate. We stocked up on both regular and white chocolate, added in some crushed walnuts and even some coconut shavings. The only thing on the shopping list that seemed to pose a problem was the giant pretzel sticks. We did in the end manage to find them (thank goodness!)
We began our chocolate dipping adventure probably around 11. I don't think we completed it until the last pretzel was coated in chocolatey goodness at around 3:30ish. I have never seen so much chocolate in my life! We somehow were able to get almost all the trays and platters into my fridge with some McGyver like skills from Patrick, however this is now the inside of my fridge.
Every container in there is filled with something covered in chocolate and yes, some are propped up on soup cans to avoid crushing. Thank you Patrick!
What we couldn't fit in there we got into my mother-in-laws totally awesome fridge that I think was designed for situations like this. In the end, my sink is filled as well with dishes, my hands and hair smell of chocolate and my fridge is full of yummy treats that I can't eat...until tomorrow.
