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. 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.

Well, in the middle of making cookies for the 12 Days of Christmas cookies I managed to hurt my back. So, some of the cookies had to change, but that’s OK. It’s good to be flexible. So to the cupboard I went in search of another cake mix to make these nutty triple chocolate cookies. You do what you have to do when you’re in pain. The best part was I did get my boys in the kitchen to help and that always makes me happy. As they get older (much to fast by the way) we have so much fun. I basically supervised and just look how beautiful the cookies turned out.
Red velvet is quintessentially Southern and when I found these cookies in the new Simple and Delicious Cookbook from Taste of Home I knew I had to make them for my holiday cookie tray. In the mix of all the other cookies on the tray, I just knew the red would stand out and look festive. Especially with the white chocolate.
