Happy Valentine’s Day!  Celebrate with an indulgent, but simple addition to your favorite sparkling beverage.

(Scroll to the end for the recipe.)

If you are looking for the perfect way to toast your sweetheart or just yourself, check out these fresh raspberries filled with chocolate hazelnut spread.  Frozen, they are a decadent addition to champagne or any other sparkling beverage.

After piping chocolate hazelnut spread into the center of a raspberry, place the filled raspberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a cooling rack.  If you use a cooling rack, the raspberries can rest between the horizontal bars as shown.

Place the baking sheet or cooling rack in the freezer until the raspberries and filling are frozen.  When frozen, the filled raspberries can be stored in a freezer storage bag or container for later use.

Then when ready for your toast, place a couple of filled raspberries in each champagne glass, and pop that cork!

There are just too hard parts about this recipe.  It is hard to not devour the raspberries as you fill them, and it is quite tempting to eat them straight out of the freezer before they make it to the champagne glasses!  If you succeed in saving enough for your toast, then a treat is waiting for you at the bottom of your glass.  Enjoy!
