Today, since it's almost Valentines Day, I thought it would be fun to make my mom's traditional Valentine's treat. They don't have an official name, we just called them mom's Valentine treats. This was something we always looked forward to every year as kids. Now I make them for my daughter.
They are chocolaty, pepperminty and full of love. Here's the recipe. You just have to try it. Let me know how you like them!
