... Especially when the diamonds are edible, sweet and pink. I found incredible candy molds from a catalog that enable you to make chocolate in the shape of diamonds, saphires, and rubies, oh my! Like real jewels, I could not wait to get my hands on them. I dyed my chocolate different shades of pinks and reds and eagerly poured it -- warm, melted and silky-- into the tiny jewel forms, waiting impatiently for the chocolate to harden up into its new gem identity. There's something intoxicating about sparkly jewels. Something totally captivating. And why? They are useless, really. But oh so beautiful. And at least these... you can eat!
