10 on Tuesday

I have never been a big fan of Valentine's Day.  It always seemed a little cheesy of a holiday.  why wait for one day a year to celebrate love...  but 28 years ago today our oldest son was born and Valentine's Day took on a whole new meaning!  Love you lots Jeremy!

Today I am joining up with Carole Knits for her 10 on Tuesday.  Topic this week is 10 Favorite Chocolate Treats.  I love chocolate- although I don't eat it much.  When I do I want it to be good dark chocolate.  With that said there are some chocolate treats I do like.

1. Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter icing - my favorite dessert.
2. Plain Vanilla Ice Cream with rich chocolate sauce...yummm!
3. Any kind of good dark chocolate.  You only need a tiny square to get your chocolate craving satisfied.
4. Chocolate Chip Cookies
5. Fudgy Brownies
6. Chocolate Truffles
7. Chocolate Melting Cake - just had this last week on our cruise - it was heavenly!  Tiny custard cup of rich chocolate cake which was served warm and had a gooey center.  Served with a tiny scoop of good vanilla ice cream on the side...so wonderful.
8. Chocolate Martini - heavenly!
9. Hot Chocolate with whipped cream.
10. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup - so basic yet sometimes it just hits the spot.
11. And I am going to break the rules and add an extra one.  This one is really my boys favorite.  A rich mini chocolate chip bundt cake which for years was their choice for their birthday cakes.  The recipe was on the back of the Hershey's Mini chocolate chips bag for years.  It was dense and delicious and so easy to make.
