Love is in the air this week! I just baked a batch of these fun Chocolate Valentine Cookies to send to my son serving a mission for our church in Texas. The Valentine colored M&Ms really stand out and look cute with a chocolate cookie background! I love how they stay moist, which makes them perfect for sending. My family loves these Reeses Chewy Chocolate cookies and I like to change the peanut butter chips out for holiday M&Ms to match the season.
Simple, fun and super tasty! What are your favorite Valentine treats? We love cookies of course, and I usually make heart shaped pancakes or French toast, or heart shaped cinnamon rolls. Yum!
We also always have ‘Love Potion’ (red punch with dry ice) and some type of fun dinner. This year I am making pasta (either this Creamy Sun dried Tomato pasta Milano or Chicken Parmesan) and fun dessert that I will post (hopefully) tomorrow!
I hope you have a wonderful Valentines week and have fun showering your family and friends with love!
