Happy 4 days after Valentine’s Day!
That’s a thing right? Well, even if it’s not I’m going to celebrate with some white chocolate heart bars.
Now…white chocolate didn’t used to be my thing. Years ago, if you’d asked if I wanted a cookie that had white chocolate in it, I would’ve socked you in your face. Ok, that’s a bit much. Maybe I just would’ve socked you in the neck. In any case, some damage would’ve have been done. Nowadays, I’m over the whole “white chocolate isn’t chocolate!” thing. Who gives a rat’s ass? If it’s good then it’s good, right?
Right.
And these bars are crazy moist and so gooooood! As in “if you eat my white chocolate heart bars, I will sock you in the neck” good. See how I flipped it? No worries, though. This recipe makes about 2 dozen 2 inch hearts, plus leftover scraps.
That should be enough to keep the violence at bay.

Was it the look of the white chocolate heart bars or the taste that made you so violent? Socked in the face then socked in the neck, I was a wreck following your recipe. One taste of these fantastic morsels and I began looking for someone to knock around. I finished the whole bowel and readying a new batch. The neighborhood better watch out as I’m roaring mad and enjoying every moment of it.
I am so glad I came across the post! It took me weeks to
look for the information you have mentioned above and it is
a genuine blessing to find someone as interested in this subject as myself.
What I’m attempting to convey is that the importance of
this problem cannot be hesitated. Individuals who increase it are all worth appreciation regardless of the fact
that I, personally, do not completely share your own views.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your own expertise!
