Can you believe Valentine’s Day is tomorrow!?! Maybe it’s because the twins are about to turn 1, yes ONE! But I swear it was just last year and I was hugely pregnant and praying for it to last as long as possible but also counting down the days for it to end.

But I digress, let’s get back to Valentine’s Day. No Valentines is complete in my opinion without a little chocolate and these ganache topped brownies are no exception. Why settle for just a box of store bought truffles when you can celebrate the ones you love (that includes you) with homemade brownies covered with a smooth truffle topping.
