Cherry Bomb Brownies for Valentines Day

 

Valentine’s Day is coming up and I seem to get into the mood for red hearts, flowers, sweet desserts and glittery things. Having little ones at home usually doesn’t allow for much romantic time alone but I really don’t mind. I find it fun to share the love inspired festive baking, crafts and romantic dinners with the kids too.

 

Hearts are my favourite shape; ever since I can remember I have loved them which makes Valentine’s Day even more loveable to me. I remember back to grade 4 when my best friend bought me a glittery red heart key-chain; to this day just the thought of it makes me smile.

Naturally when I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of chocolate and the colour red. This year I’m sharing my chewy Cherry Bomb Brownies because, well, the name says it all. Enjoy!
