Valentine's Day baking - Fondant au Chocolate

In japan, we girls give chocolate with love to boys on Valentine's Day.
That's original custom in Japan.
 Long time ago, that time, we didn't know about Valantine's Day. We are not Christian country. One day, Chocolate company made advertisement...."Give chocolate with love to your boy friend on 14th Feb, Valentine's Day!! It is a Day of LOVE !!"

Now, we girls give special chocolate to special boys or small chocolate to friends (include girls) and so on.
We enjoy Valentine's Day, we make chocolate baking, and give it to friends.
And on 14th March, we call White Day, boys give cookie back to girls if they got chocolate from girls.
It is original custom in Japan!!

Ok, try to make chocolate baking in NZ.
