Okay, so you're new here. Heck, I'm new here. I haven't blogged in five years. Life just got in the way. But we'll get through this together right? It took me awhile to get brave enough to write my first post after five years. I poured over possible topics. I wrestled with how to approach it again. And then - well, then it became obvious.

Valentine's Day is coming up, and although it's not my favorite holiday, it is an excuse to do my favorite thing... Nope, not that. ;) I L.O.V.E. Chocolate. All kinds. Chocolate with mint, chocolate with peanut butter, chocolate with caramel... you really can't go wrong. So, I'm going to share a simple, no-bake treat I make that's healthier than the store bought candies because it only has two ingredients*. First, let me be clear... I. Am. Not. A. Food. Blogger.
