Everyday Should Be Chocolate Parfait Day!

I woke up to the sounds of rain hitting the window. I thought it was supposed to be spring. After all, I had just replanted the front flowerbed

with fresh flowers from assorted six packs and had watered them so they would take root, and now..this!

A downpour that rated beyond “Spring Shower” status.

One loud enough to wake me out of a deep sleep.  I guess you could say that it caught me off guard because I wasn’t expecting a change from the lovely warm days we had been experiencing.

May 1st is traditionally a day to celebrate flowers and spring; it also marks another day that deserves to be celebrated more than once during the calendar year…If you guessed National Chocolate Parfait Day, you are a winner!

While the ever-changing weather here in Middle Tennessee might be subject to change, being able to whip eggs, sugar, cream, and cocoa together and know that you are on the right track to something spoon-licking fantastic is something you can count on.

So don’t wait until next May 1 to break out this recipe. Apron up and grab your wisk! Every day should be chocolate parfait day!
