About a week ago, Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park invited bloggers to their shop on Park Ave. for a Valentine’s Day Preview Party.   I have been to Peterbrooke many times as it is my ‘go to’ chocolate shop in the Orlando area.  I have also tried lots of their products and all are amazing.  However, nothing in the shop can compare with their chocolate covered strawberries.  I love strawberries and chocolate so how can I not possible go crazy over the combo?  Peterbrooke only purchases Driscoll’s berry because they are so huge and delicious.  Cover the amazing strawberry in decadent Peterbrooke chocolate and you have the world’s best dessert.  If you want to impress your honey, buy her a couple of these for Valentine’s Day.  The strawberries come dipped in dark, milk or white chocolate with your choice of drizzle.

What is the one thing better than chocolate covered strawberries?  Chocolate covered strawberries paired with a lovely red wine.  Thanks to Quantum Leap Winery for supplying some very nice wine for our Valentine’s Day Preview.  It paired perfecting with the different chocolates.  If your special someone loves chocolate and wine, Quantum Leap is teaming up with Peterbrooke and Orlando Uncorked for Wine and Chocolate Perfectly Paired on February 12.

Another favorite from Peterbrooke is chocolate covered popcorn. It’s got the whole salty sweet thing going on that everyone loves.  My favorite is the dark chocolate, but you can also purchase milk chocolate covered popcorn.

No trip to Peterbrooke would be complete without the famous Jami Shoo Chocolate Shoe.  Peterbrooke is owned by the wonderful Kevin and Jami Wray and the chocolate shoe is Jami’s creation. They can make the shoes in dark, milk or white chocolate with just about any kind of trim.  They even made a shoe used for a wedding proposal.  These would make a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone.  What girl doesn’t like chocolate and shoes?
