Chocolate Coconut Haystacks #SundaySupper

February 8, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 30 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Nothing says love for Valentine’s Day than chocolate and wine.  Today #SundaySupper teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you Valentine’s Day wine pairings.  I just love wine and chocolate together, it’s one of my favorite indulgences and I truly think it is romantic.  So today I whipped up one of my favorite chocolate candies to share with you, Chocolate Coconut Haystacks.
Chocolate Coconut Haystacks #SundaySupper
These little chocolates are made with two ingredients, dark chocolate melting wafers and unsweetened coconut. They are rich, sweet, delicious and would please any coconut lover. Plus not only are they delicious and simply adorable, they are a breeze to make.

I paired my delicious little chocolate gems with Gallo Family Vineyards Sweet Red Wine. Gallo Family Vineyards Sweet Red Wine is bursting with flavors of red fruit, black cherry and raspberry jam. A perfect complement to chocolate. The wine is medium body and sweet. I love sweet wine, it is my favorite.
Chocolate Coconut Haystacks #SundaySupper
To make the chocolates I lightly toasted my coconut in the oven and then melted my chocolate in the microwave. Just add the coconut and mix well. I used a cookie scoop to make them even in size and just slightly padded them down with my finger. They turned out fantastic and only take about 15 minutes to make including toasting the coconut.

Another wine that would pair well with my haystacks would be Gallo Family Vineyards Riesling. Gallo Family Vineyards Riesling has whispers of honeysuckle, juicy peach and ripe citrus notes. Such a nice light, sweet wine. One of my favorites.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile. 
🐰
I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.
🐰
The Jute Tree with the Eggs and the Wooden Bunnies are also from 12 Timbers. The Jute Tree is so much fun to add to your decor. I love the colors of the felt eggs. Plus I love the shape and the way the eggs hang off the branches. The Wooden Bunnies are just the cutest. You know me and bunnies. You can choose your bunnies in pink, white or stain. So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
