Texas spicing up chocolates for Valentine's Day

Chocolate-Covered Jalapenos

Berry Delicious chocolate shop is making their chocolate a little spicier by adding Jalapenos to the mix. Hot chocolate is getting a twist in Texas.

Chocolate-covered Jalapenos are the new Valentine’s Day special for a business owner in Elsa, Texas.

Yvonne Sandoval’s “Berry Delicious” chocolate shop is offering a more searing gift for the romantic holiday.

Although commonly used for Mexican food, Sandoval says the spicy peppers are great for candy as well.

"We've always geared towards the fruit, but this time we said let's try something spicy. So we tried chocolate-covered jalapenos. It's been pretty popular," Sandoval said.

If you’re seeking a steamy present for Valentine’s Day, then “Berry Delicious” should be your next stop.

Firefighter could be fired for saving lives
A firefighter has been warned he could be fired if he uses his medical training to save injured people while carrying out fire calls.
Joe McMahon, a former paramedic who is now a firefighter based in Wimbledon, helped ambulance workers who were struggling to treat five casualties. But instead of being praised, his employers told him he could be fired for misconduct if he used his medical training again.
After a disciplinary hearing he was told he might be sacked and sent a letter which warned: "When you are working as a London firefighter you are ordered not to give any medical treatment except first aid."

There was no coordinated uprising at the school. An accidental push of a button sent the automated call to the homes of the entire student body instead of the intended 16.
One parent didn't believe her son's protests that he had done nothing wrong and took him to school Saturday morning anyway. When they learned of the glitch, Amy Stewart took her son Jimmy to breakfast to make up for it. Assistant superintendent Steve Muzzy called the problem "an unfortunate human mistake."
