Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Preheat oven to 300°F. Wash heart-shaped silicone mold with warm water. Place on a baking sheet and bake empty for 5 minutes to dry. Remove from oven and set aside. 2 In a large bowl combine the coconut, almonds, and coconut cream. Mix well. Place 8 to 10 chocolate morsels in each of the heart shaped cavities on the silicone baking sheet. 3 Place 1/2 teaspoonful of the coconut-almond mixture into center of each cavities, on top of chocolate morsels. Place additional 8 to 10 chocolate morsels on top of the coconut-almond mixture, arranging them so that the centers are mostly covered. 4 Transfer cookie sheet with mold to oven and bake for until chocolate starts to melt and is easy to spread, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven. Use a teaspoon and with a darting motion run the tip of the spoon around the edges of each cavity to ensure that the melted chocolate completely coats the bottom of the cavity. Use the back of the teaspoon to smooth out the “bottoms” of the chocolates that are face up. Finally, gently shake the silicone mold up and down a little to force out any air bubbles. 5 Place the silicone mat in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set. Remove from refrigerator and gently invert the cavities to release the chocolates. Use a butter knife to smooth out the flakes and make the bottoms of the chocolates as flat as possible.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
