Here is a little tip for all my loved ones out there… I love Snickers!  The only thing I love more than Snickers?  Brownies!  If you put the two together, then you have pure deliciousness.   I just thought I would throw that out there in case anyone needed ideas for Valentine’s Day.  If anyone else out there feels the same as I do, then check out this amazing recipe for Snickers Brownie Bites.  Thanks to The Domestic Rebel for the recipe!

My husband and I absolutely love churros!  My fond affection for these delicious treats began when I was very young, but my husband didn’t have the pleasure of tasting one until our Honeymoon at Disneyland.  Once he took his first bite, there was no going back.  We had churros with every meal for the next three days!  Unfortunately, churros are not really the kind of thing that you can easily whip up at home so we haven’t really had many over the last ten years.  I am excited to try out this recipe for Churro Waffles.  They look so yummy and just might be the perfect thing to cure my frequent churro cravings.  Thanks Chica Chocolatina Bakeshop!
