I have a big sweet tooth, so dessert or chocolates are a usual thing for me. The other night I came across a recipe online for these fabulous looking strawberries stuffed with cheesecake. Just going by the name, I knew I had to try it.
Although the picture looked complicated, the dessert was actually so simple to make. The tricky part is coring the inside of the strawberries to then fill them, but once you do one, the rest are a piece of cake.
Along with this classy dessert (which ended up being more of a snack), I had a chocolate craving and wanted to go with a favorite. I had a box of brownie mix and knew I needed to run out to grab some Reese’s Miniatures. Brownies with Reese’s in the middle, how could you ever go wrong?
Seeing that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I figured these two desserts would be perfect. Whether you have a significant other or you’re riding solo this year, these tasty treats will not disappoint. If you and your Valentine do not devour them after dinner, I am sure you and your friends can easily finish them off. Enjoy!
