Cupid’s Crunch

February 4, 2013 in holiday

I’m sure I tell y’all this every year but Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. I love any excuse to put hearts up in every room of my house.  And this year is even more exciting for me because I finally have a kid in school which means I finally have an excuse to buy those cute little cards. I don’t even know if my kid’s class is exchanging Valentine’s cards but you better believe I bought some as soon as they appeared on the shelves of my store. Because, lord knows, the last thing I need is for Walmart to run out of Power Rangers cards.

The only thing I’m not a big fan of on Valentine’s Day is cooking. I definitely believe in going out or getting McDonald’s or having my husband cook. Anything to get out of cooking and doing dishes on the big day. I did want to share this quick treat though because it’s so simple and so yummy.

It’s just like traditional muddy buddies but you use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Then once everything is good and coated in powdered sugar, you toss in some M&Ms and cute Valentine’s Day sprinkles.
