Author Notes
Fellas,
Rather than handing your LadyLove a heart-shaped box of creme filled cliches this Valentine's Day, why not go the extra mile and impress her with these simple hand rolled truffles. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac and I'm fairly certain men who cook from the heart are too. So grab an apron and prepare to get lucky. —Megan Brewer
