If you saw my blog post last week, I mentioned making a candlelight dinner for the ones you love. This recipe for Valentine’s Day Cake Balls is the perfect dessert to go along with a special meal. However, before you READ the recipe, I recommend that you NOT cancel that gym membership, however there is NO calorie counting on this one…. You know, it is only Valentine’s Day once a year!!
I saw these advertised on the cover on Family Circle and I just had to try them. Boy, was I not disappointed AT ALL. These little cuties are so very tasty. We made a special icing for them by buying the white chocolate melts and adding red food coloring – a Valentine’s treat for the ones you love! And, listen, if all else fails, call Dana from Dolce Delights by Dana for her famous Oatmeal Pies!!
