Are you a fan of breakfast in bed? I can not say I've ever really had, (well most room service, I suppose), but never in my own bed Am I the only one who finds the whole concept a little weird? I love the delicacy of gesture, but the last place I want breakfast on my white bedding. I am also not one to want to eat until I have 15 minutes to enjoy my coffee, so I prefer a romantic meal say 25 minutes after waking up ... .to the table.
no matter where you want to enjoy your special breakfasts, this recipe is here just oozing with goodness cheesy Valentine's Day. We have chocolate, we rose, and we have what hearts more could you want from a processing festive morning V-day? In good health?? Well that are made with whole wheat flour and dark chocolate is good enough for you right? I think that as long as small sweet breakfast Go- this recipe is on the healthy side. Raspberry syrup is made simply with fresh raspberries and pure maple syrup, giving him a perfect sweet pie combo and adding sparkle to the dish.
Of course, the heart shape of these is completely optional, but to get there, I picked the dough in a pastry bag with a large round tip ( big enough for all chocolate pieces) and just make an outline and filled. It was super easy and devilishly cute if I do say so myself! Hugo I made a little mini-pancake heart and swallowed it up right. I'm a lucky lady to have two Valentines this year! :)
