What I Did: Made these for my boyfriend for valentines day, was told by my ten year old brothers they look like chocolate “balls” yes, as in testicles.. FAIL
My Result:
if you ever attempt again
i suggest using those chocolate heart molds
halving or even quartering the strawberries
and placing them in the molds
but either way
as long as you and your boy enjoyed them
even if they are chocolate balls in the wrong sense of the word “balls”
Well…the traditional “heart” shape is actually derivative of a pair of balls, as begun in Roman times. You’re not wrong, you’re merely historically accurate. ^.^
Actually, it was supposed to look like the ovaries+fallopian tubes =)
Pins like this are exactly why I hate Pinterest. No instructions on the pin itself, and the recipe link doesn’t explain how to make the strawberry heart shapes AND the photo doesn’t even match what the recipe is describing. Total waste of time.
I’m sure as a man your guy found the humor in it. Most guys do. At a Halloween party we did meatballs slow cooked in BBQ sauce and called them Bull Balls. One girl’s boyfriend had a horrified look on his face since he asked before he popped one in so when we told him it was already in his mouth. He then saw we were laughing and realized what they were.
