Love is in the air and your valentine is sure to fall in love with these chocolate chip brownies. After all, who doesn’t love chocolate for Valentine’s Day? I can honestly say this is THE best from-scratch brownie recipe I’ve ever made. Lots of chocolaty goodness with cocoa powder and two types of chocolate chips. I needed a snack for an end of season sports party and went looking on the Taste of Home website. These fit the bill and have now become a quick favorite in our house. Â The recipe calls for nuts but I omitted them since I was making them for school. Plus the chocolate chips covered the top of each pan. I used semi-sweet but you could certainly use milk if you prefer.
Some blogger friends and I have put together a delicious collection of recipes for Valentine’s Day that your sweetie is sure to enjoy. Links to their blogs are at the bottom of this post.
