A chocoholics dream...

Let me preface this by saying, watching too much Food Network can be hazardous to your health.  I saw this on the Barefoot Contessa and thought, "I can do  that."  Then I proceeded to one up myself and decided I'm going to make my chocolate from scratch (did I mention this was my first time using a chocolate mold?).  Let's just say, if the Contessa uses store bought you probably should too.  I scoured Tupelo for coconut oil and then proceeded to cover our entire kitchen with a layer of chocolate.  Despite all the extra work, I must say the dark chocolate was delicious and much better than the almond bark/baker's chocolate in the grocery store.  This is definitely a chocolate lover's dream and a really cool birthday "cake."  The inside of the cupcake was hollow and filled with truffles and chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries.
