A Few Sweet Ideas

Valentine’s Day is going to be pretty lax this year. My husband is going out of town this weekend for a seminar. (Seriously, who holds a seminar over V-Day weekend? Someone disgruntled maybe.) So it’s just me and the kiddos. I usually bake him his choice of dessert for the big day, but without a little time to myself, he may just get a smooch on the cheek at the airport.For those of you who are actually celebrating, here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day sweets. Click on the links below to find the recipes.

1. Chocolate Valentino- A rich, decadent, flourless chocolate cake.
2. Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes – You know about the lusciousness of red velvet, I’m sure.
3. Brownie Bottom Cheesecake – My hub’s favorite cheesecake. One of mine, too.
4. Cinn-a-bun Cheesecake – Cheesecake dressed up as a cinnamon roll. You can’t go wrong.
5. Tuile Cookies – Fun little cookies that you mold while they’re still hot. You can even make fortune cookies out of them!
6. White Chocolate Pretzel Buttons – A fun little snack your kids can help out with!
