Getting ready for Valentine's Day

Here's a list of great Valentine's day recipes that I have found from some of my favorite websites that will be great to make for your sweetie on that special day.  Let me know what your favorite Valentines treat is...!
-Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies: These look so moist and delicious and have great color combinations that are perfect for V-Day.
-Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies: Who can't say no to a cookie sandwich!

Mocha Muffins

Mocha MuffinsThis recipe was from one of my "runner-up" recipes from muffin week that I finally got around to baking.  I found this recipe on Joy of Baking and decided to make them because I was just craving chocolate this morning for breakfast.  The recipe turned out well, and definitely satisfied my morning chocolate fix in a "healthy muffin" sort of way lol.  The muffins texture was more cake like and not as moist as a regular muffin but still had great flavor.  I couldn't taste the coffee too much but I think I didn't brew a strong enough cup.

Snicker Bar Brownies

Snicker Bar BrowniesThese were a definite death by chocolate moment the second that you took one bite into them. They were so gooey, chewy, chocolatey good!  I also found this recipe during my hunt for good superbowl treats on the wonderfull Cookie Madness site, which I think she originally found on Epicurious.  I love brownie recipes that only involve using one bowl, they're easy to make and easy to clean up but the addition of Snickers bars is what makes these brownies the best.  First off, who doesn't love Snickers chocolate bars, second, who doesn't love eating brownies during the superbowl.  

Tiny Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tiny Chocolate Chip CookiesYum, Yum, Yum! These were so good that there was no way that you could eat just one!  I found this recipe on Epicurious while I was looking for some good Super Bowl recipes to try out.  I ended up taking a few dozen over to my boyfriend's dad's house to watch the superbowl to have to eat after our delicious chilli that his dad made.  I had so many left over cookies that I ended up taking the rest to work and everyone fell in love with them.
