Truth – I used to eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar as an after-school snack. I’m sure my mother didn’t know. Truth – On occasion, I STILL eat maraschino cherries straight from the jar. I can’t help it! I love them. These loaves of mini cherry chocolate chip bread are perfect to give as Valentine’s gifts or to keep and eat for yourself. I find that by making mini bread loaves I am better able to portion-control instead of devouring it all immediately.

Strawberry parfaits are incredibly easy and fast desserts to make but can still pass as fancy in a pinch. If you need a “dessert for dummies” recipe this is the one.

Strawberry parfaits are kid-friendly, chocolate-free, and make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone. Class it up by putting the parfait in a wine glass and adding a strawberry fan to up the ante.
