Leftover Tuesdays #12 Sweetheart Challange Round-Up

Leftover Tuesdays #12 challenged us to “Make a leftover creation for your sweetheart”. While we didn’t require the leftover creation to contain chocolate or even sweets, not surprisingly the majority of the entries contained both. So if you’ve got some leftover chocolate, or cake, or strawberries then you’ll be right at home with what we’ve got for you today. Ranging from truffles, to trifles, to brownies, to frozen yogurt and more, these are definitively treats any sweetheart would love! Hope you have as much fun with these as all of us did making (and eating) them!

	Deeba, from Passionate About Baking…& beyond in North India, must have read my mind since she sent her entry on the same day I announced the contest! And her creation was just perfect, individual sized Chocolate Strawberry Trifles from leftover sponge cake. The pretty little treats look amazing!
	Ivy who writes Kopiaste, to Greek Hospitality from Athens, Geece went all out chocolate with these wonderful Truffles. Using leftover sprinkles, biscuits, walnuts, almonds, chocolates, and other items she created these pretty little bite sized treats – yum!
	Joel and Amy from Food Monkeys were the creative force behind this challenge since they suggested the theme to use up some of their own leftover chocolate. In addition to the leftover chocolate, they also used an “unopened tube of Girl Scout's Thin Mints”. Now, in case you’re wondering how Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies can possibly be a leftover the answer is simple – Joel and Amy had another order arriving soon! Of course in my house, just the thought of having the tube sit there unopened is pretty much unheard of… Anyway, with these great starting ingredients Joel and Amy created Thin Mint Truffles which I’ve been craving ever since I saw their post!
	Ginny from Washington, DC who writes Just Get Floury did just that and made some Double Chocolate Fig Brownies. Ginny writes “I LOVE CHOCOLATE. It is a small addiction and a very necessary part of my life.” So it was no surprise that she found plenty of leftover chocolate with which to make her creation.
	Kris from I think I have a recipe for that… created Mini Berry Cheesecakes. These little treats were inspired by leftover frozen berry syrup for a slightly belated Valentines Day dinner. Although they didn’t turn out as pretty as she hoped they sound delicious!
	Windy from Windy’s Food Corner in the UK joined in with a great way to use leftover strawberries. Using the classic combination of rhubarb and strawberries she created these lovely Rhubarb Fool Desserts .
	And last is my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Tart Frozen Yogurt creation. Tart frozen yogurt is a recent mild addiction that I fed with some leftover bittersweet chocolate… yum!

I hope everyone enjoyed the Leftover Tuesdays Sweetheart Challenge. We'll be back again in April with another great leftover challenge!

This is an awesome site! Since you're really into great food and great recipes, I think you'd also be interested in FohBoh, (http://www.fohboh.com/?i=28chblcn8r176) the online networking site for the International Restauarnt Industry. It's got great information and interaction with restaurant professionals, executive chefs, videos of culinary techniques and recipe preparation, a vibrant wine community with internationally renowned somelliers and people like you and me just interested in food and drink. The site is worth checking out, and I think you'd find a great deal of value there for both yourself and your blog.

Have an awesome day! Cheers!
