Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? I have never really been big on holidays like this, but I still do a little something for my hubby and all the kids.
Recipes like the one I’m sharing with you today are so great for pretty much any occassion! Just change up the toppings to match whatever it is you are celebrating. These bars are quick, easy, and so fun to make!
My birthday is two days before Valentine’s Day, so I have always been more excited about that than a made up holiday, haha!
I would much rather get flowers and chocolates on a random Thursday than on Valentine’s Day because it just sort of feels like an obligation, ya know? And I happen to have a super sweet husband who likes to bring me flowers for no particular reason. He’s a good one 🙂
However, my kids are little and they like to celebrate, and because I love them, that’s what we do!
I usually bake a special treat, surprise them in the morning with heart shaped balloons and boxes of chocolate, and sneak love notes in their lunches.
I also like to make a fancy meal for my husband, and surprise him with a little something too.
Whether you celebrate or not, cookie bars are always a good idea. Make them for your family, pass them out to friends or neighbors, or send them into your kids school for the teachers!
These soft and chewy cookie bars are a sweet little way to show some love. Enjoy!
