A sweet way to share your love on Valentine’s Day is with Valentine Heart Cookie Bars!
The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, or so ‘they’ say. They happen to be right when it comes to the three fellas that I live with. And this time of the year I find my way to their hearts with individually wrapped festive Valentine Heart Cookie Bars.
