Chocolate Strawberry Hand Pies
I love chocolate covered strawberries. It is always a treat when my husband or my dad give me some as a gift. I love strawberries SO much that when I was a toddler I refused to eat strawberries unless I picked them directly off the plant. So of course, I just had to create a dessert that involved fresh strawberries and a yummy chocolate hazelnut spread. The combination of strawberries and chocolate hazelnut spread is just a match made in heaven and the perfect combination for any dessert, but most especially for any Valentine’s dessert. How much do you love chocolate and strawberries together? Have you tried strawberries with a…

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake Pops
I just can’t seem to get enough of the chocolate cherry flavors. I knew they needed to be made into a cake pop, especially when I found cherry cake mix at my local Albertson’s. I toyed with the idea of making these with a maraschino cherry in the center, but not everyone actually likes cherries, just the cherry flavor. If you love maraschinos then by all means, add one to the center of these cake pops. Do you like maraschino cherries or only the cherry flavor? I love both. These cake pops definitely hit the chocolate cherry flavors spot. Even my child that doesn’t like cherries loved these cake pops.…

Chocolate Strawberry Truffle
There are many gifts that are given for Valentine’s Day, and chocolate covered strawberries are definitely a popular one. I decided I wanted to put a spin on the classic chocolate covered strawberry. While this takes more time than just dipping fresh strawberries in melted chocolate, it does have an element of whimsy. My boys love these truffles and watching them smile over the taste, brings so much joy to my heart. Additionally, if you are not a strawberry lover, you can definitely use raspberries or even blueberries instead. Do you love chocolate and strawberries together? You could experiment with the chocolate and use milk or white chocolate instead of…

Raspberry White Chocolate Scones
Scones are like the sophisticated older sister of the donut. Just as tasty, but it’s not tacky to serve a scone at a tea time with the Queen of England…but I’m not so sure she would appreciate donuts during tea time. Scones can be intimidating, but this recipe is super easy. While I am not the inventor of this particular recipe, I do love it and it would be perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast or brunch. This recipe would be equally tasty with fresh blueberries. Have you ever made scones from scratch? These scones are a definitely must in your near future. Hope y’all have an amazing week. Stay safe,…

Cherry Cake Batter m&m Cookies
The best cookies are cookies with very little ingredients and still taste amazing. Cake batter cookies tend to be one of those. Using a cake mix as a base for the cookie gives flavor as well as moisture to the cookie without having to follow a recipe with a lot of ingredients. Adding to that, I LOVE cherry and chocolate together. My favorite candy bar is the Cherry Mash, which unfortunately is not that easy to find. But when I decide I need cherry and chocolate in my life, I usually just jump right in and create some sort of dessert. After I made Cupid’s Chow this last week, (go…

Baked Love Donuts
Donuts are arguably one of the best breakfast foods ever! I am always in the mood for a donut. I especially love a donut that is on the healthier side, and this one is definitely one of those. No added sodium, low fat, and real strawberries. Additionally, the base recipe for the donuts can be used for just about any flavor. Change the icing flavors and you have a whole new type of donut. Switch the extract flavors and the dough has a completely different flavor. Baking donuts for my family for Valentine’s Day breakfast has become a tradition over the last couple of years. I knew this year I…

Valentine’s Day: Red Velvet Cake Pops
Red velvet is a popular flavor with cakes and cookies. Now that cake pops are a popular and common baked good, I had to make a red velvet version. I wanted to make sure that I kept the integrity of the typical flavors of the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I also knew I wanted to make the pops look festive for Valentine’s Day. I decided to find some Valentine’s sprinkles for the top of the pops. The colors of the sprinkles in contrast to the white chocolate shell is particularly pretty. These are a huge hit at parties and gifting to friends and neighbors. The biggest plus…

Cupid Chow-Valentine’s Puppy Chow
If you’ve ever had puppy chow Chex mix, you know just how addicting it is to the taste buds. You can be eating it and the next thing you know, you’ve eaten the whole bowl. Chex has even begun manufacturing and selling their own types of puppy chow. I knew it would be equally tasty and addicting if I did a spin on the puppy chow for Valentine’s Day. Now hear me out, you say you don’t like cherry flavors…well I am here to tell you that you will love this. I had numerous taste testers when I created this and ALL of them loved it! So…I know you will…

Valentine’s Berry and Chocolate Shortbread
I know I’ve mentioned before that I have a few roommates (aka: children) who aren’t too keen on chocolate. So when I was trying to come up with a list of tasty Valentine’s desserts, I decided I would need to throw some in that contain berries. This is one such recipe. The best part about this recipe is that you can change it to your heart’s desire. You can use strawberry, raspberry, blueberry jam, or even orange marmalade. My family is mostly partial to strawberry and raspberry jams. If you decide to use orange marmalade, white chocolate chips would be amazing with it instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. What is…

Valentine’s PB Blossom Cookies
Have I mentioned before how much I love peanut butter and chocolate together? So when I was deciding what desserts to make for Valentine’s Day I knew I had to include the combo. I mean peanut butter and chocolate are one of the great matches made in heaven…which means that including the combination in every major holiday baking is a must! When I was trying to decide which desserts to bake, I knew red velvet would also have to be on my list. Red velvet is just chocolate dyed red. That’s when I landed on red velvet cookies with peanut butter chocolate tops…and the Valentine’s PB Blossom was born. Did…
