Thank you for this recipe! I was trying to find a yummy recipe for my husband and boys, for Valentine’s Day and they will enjoy it!
Janelle,
Just wondering if this is OK to make ahead of time? I want to make for Valentines Day dessert, so can I make them earlier in the day or is it best served warm right from the oven?
