Happy Chocolate Day

It's all about the food.

Chocolate Berry Crepes

1 1/2 cups flour

1 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups milk

2 Tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1. Mix first 4 ingredients in bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients with electric mixer until smooth.

2. Lightly butter small 6 inch skillet and heat over medium heat until bubbly.

3. For each crepe, pour 1/8-1/4 cup batter into skillet. Immediately rotate skillet until thin layer of batter covers bottom. Cook until lightly brown. Run spatula around edge until loose. Flip crepe and cook other side until light brown. Repeat for remaining batter.

4. Spread whipped cream down the middle of the crepe. Fill with raspberries and/or chopped strawberries. Roll, and top with melted chocolate or chocolate berry sauce*, powdered sugar, and of course, more berries.

Looks unbelievable. Valentine's is a much lower-key affair in England. The fondue pot didn't get pulled out today. But that photo certainly incites cravings.
