This is an elegant and beautiful appetizer to start off your Valentine's Day Celebration.  Welcome to Day 3 of Chocolate Week.

Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited us to join her all week long in sharing Chocolate recipes.  We are halfway through but you can go back and check out the Day 1 recipes where I served up Pork Tenderloin with Chocolate Molasses Gravy and Day 2 recipes where I made Chicken Mole Tacos.

I served these up on New Years Eve.  Everyone was very impressed and they were a huge hit.  The flavors work so well with each other and no one realized just how easy they were to make up.

You can make them even easier if you find the pomegranate arils in the produce section of your grocer.  Mine was out so I had to seed my own pomegranate, not hard work but it takes a little more time.
