- However, confirm that they are pesticide-free when buying or grow the roses yourself.
- They make a romantic garnish for salads, entrées, and desserts.
- Experiment with different fillings.
- Preparations: When purchasing rose petals, make sure they have nice large, clean petals.

- Temper white chocolate according to instructions above.

- Quickly (before chocolate cools down) dribble white chocolate over the top of all the petals by going back and forth, covering half of each petal top.
- Place in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours.

- Now light the candles, play some nice music, turn off the lights and place platter on table and snuggle up and enjoy taking turns feeding each other.

Hey! This is good stuff! I've often made Candied Rose Petals, but this adds a new twist. I used petals from more than one rose bush, so I had slightly different tastes (each bush has a slightly different tasting petal.) Both my friend and I loved these. I also prepared a second lot adding just a sliver of ginger (preserved in syrup) to the cream cheese. Coupled with the white chocolate, this gave an extremely interesting taste. Very easy to make, although my friend had just a little trouble rolling up some of the smaller petals. I highly recommend this for those who want a different taste.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
