Nothing says love like sweets for your sweet, so I chose to make my family these Double Chocolate Muffins. I had baked them in my heart-shaped muffin pan, but they had more of a rise than expected, so you can only tell from the bottom LOL.
So I pulled out my heart platter and my dessert plates marked with love and watched with satisfaction as Frank and the girls enjoyed an expression of my love. They say it's all in the plating anyway, right?
