My contributor, Laura, has shared another fantastic recipe with us all! Let me just say this… she makes me smile with her delicious recipe ideas. These blew my mind and I can’t wait to make a batch for myself.
Laura is making these for her husband for Valentine’s Day but, I think we can all agree, these would be absolutely perfect for any time. They sound pretty easy too! I was expecting them to be much more difficult to make so this recipe is a definite hit with me!

We have a family tradition on Valentine’s Day. Each year we get a pizza (or make one) and have pizza by candlelight. We have been doing this for several years and the kids love it. My husband and I have not gone out alone in many, many years for Valentine’s Day but I don’t mind that at all. Sharing the “day of love” with my children seems only natural to me. I would love to start making a dessert too for our special evening and these chocolate covered cherries would make a fantastic addition to our tradition.
Do you make any special desserts or meals for Valentine’s Day? Do you have any Valentine’s Day traditions?
