Strawberry Jam Bourbon Smash

The calendar often whispers about upcoming holidays, and as of late, Valentine’s Day seems to be everywhere. It’s a day that evokes strong feelings, and I’m curious – how many of you genuinely celebrate it? For some, it’s a cherished tradition; for others, perhaps, it’s just another Tuesday.

Valentine's Day Dessert Idea | White Chocolate Cherry Brownies Close-up

Pardon my brief moment of mild cynicism, but personally, I’ve never fully embraced the grand spectacle of Valentine’s Day. Do I appreciate beautiful jewelry? Absolutely! Who wouldn’t? But my preference is for such thoughtful gestures to arrive throughout the year, not confined to a single designated day. One day simply doesn’t feel like enough to celebrate love, appreciation, or even the joy of receiving a shiny gift!

My honest perspective is that Valentine’s Day predominantly serves the interests of florists with their exorbitant rose prices, producers of all things pink and red, jewelers showcasing their latest sparkle, and fancy restaurants demanding reservations months in advance. And, of course, there’s chocolate – which, I must admit, is the one aspect I truly adore, regardless of the occasion.

You can label me as unromantic, a “hater,” or even say I lack festive spirit when it comes to this particular holiday. But in my humble opinion, Valentine’s Day often feels a bit… overhyped. It’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s perfectly alright.

Homemade Brownies with Cherries and White Chocolate

However, despite my reservations about the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, I am certainly not opposed to baking for the occasion. In fact, baking is a year-round passion for me, so any excuse to whip up something delicious is always welcome. And when it comes to holiday baking, especially one associated with love and indulgence, chocolate is almost always at the forefront. It’s an undeniable pairing, much like sprinkles and donuts. Could you enjoy one without the other? Sure, but why on earth would you want to miss out on that perfect synergy?
