Lucky in love: treats - Best of the West;; Chocolate-covered fortune cookies - Brief Article

Sunset, Feb, 2004

Roses are red, violets are blue; you know the drill. Valentine's Day gifts can be rather predictable. So why not try a different token of affection? Chocolate-covered fortune cookies always hold a surprise--literally, in the form of the traditional slips of paper holding untraditionally romantic messages. Whose sweetie wouldn't like to crack open a cookie to read, "A romantic evening is in your future"? Plus, the cookies are addictively yummy, they come in a cute red box, and they won't break the bank--unlike the all-too-familiar dozen roses.
