Valentine Treats Recipes: Chocolate Apples Snack

And oh, the goodness! These remind me of treats we used to make when I was a Brownie, since I never made it to Girl Scouts, if you can believe that! I was quite attached to my awesome troop leader, and after she moved away, I didn’t see the point in continuing. My favorite part of being a Brownie was snack time, and mainly, that we made our own snacks and treats. We used dipping caramels and melting chocolates and made all sorts of seasonal snacks. So, you can absolutely enjoy these year-round, and SHOULD, but I had to give them a Valentine’s Day theme for this round, because you all know how much I love loving love. Is that a sentence? Yes. Yes, it is. I love loving love, and I love apples, I love sprinkles, I love almonds, and I love fun treats for my kids.
