Bring On The Thunderbolts!

I bought four blocks of unsalted butter today. For some reason, butter seemed essential in prepping for the upcoming winter months. I know it's not even December yet but the chilly weather has subconsciously made me want to use my oven more often. Plus, I've recently realized the monotonous drone from my electric mixer is actually quite soothing.

I made some mocha chocolate shortbread - the dough shaped into lightning bolts - last week for the opening night of the new Harry Potter movie. Coffee and chocolate: another match made in heaven... More chocolate goodness to come!
