Guess what everyone? It’s that time again…Valentine’s Day! Hooray! What can be better than a holiday devoted to chocolate. Yeah yeah there is all that love stuff too, but lets be honest, it’s really about the chocolate.
Now we all know about the traditional ways to consume chocolate on Valentine’s Day. There are boxed chocolates of course, then you have a wide variety of delicious truffles and bars, there are also the wonderful baked goods, and finally chocolate dipped everything. While I am obviously a fan of all of these great options, I was wondering where I could sneak chocolate into other parts of my day. Then is hit me…breakfast!
Viola, chocolate oatmeal was born. Looking back it was so obvious. Why hadn’t I done this before? It is really easy to put together and sweet enough that your entire family will enjoy it. So whip up a batch tomorrow morning and be the hero of Valentine’s Day!
