I survived the holidays without indulging in too many sweets… but there is just something about Valentine’s Day that makes me want all things chocolate! It is my one holiday a year where I indulge in the sweet stuff – after all I believe that if love had a flavor, it would be chocolate. White chocolate especially. And it would be in the form of this Simple Valentine’s Day Candy which is super easy to make, looks beautiful, and tastes even better.

This can be made really for any holiday – but we all know Valentine’s Day is my absolute favorite. I like to change it up a bit and add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the almond bark sometimes to give it even more of a kick. But then, I have a love affair with mint chocolate anything!  Beware though – it is very difficult to stop eating once you start…
