This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday and I don’t know about you but the idea of going out on a Sunday night doesn’t sound exciting to me at all. I would much rather be at home in my pajamas watching a movie on my sofa.
When I think about Valentine’s Day, I think of two things – love and chocolate. So, this year, I’m combing those two things with dessert and romantic movies at home. Hubby won’t be home but a few of the girls are coming over for dinner and a movie. And you can’t watch a movie without dessert so I will be serving these delicious Chocolate Cherry Bars. I’m just going tell you all right now that they are AMAZING!
Chocolate Cherry Bars
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate fudge cake mix
- 1 can 21 ounces cherry pie filling
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 container whipped chocolate frosting
Instructions

- Step 3: Add dry cake mix and mix with spoon or spatula. Gently fold in pie filling and chocolate chips. Continue to mix.

Now as far as the movie goes – The Hallmark Channel has it covered for us. Their Countdown to Valentine’s Day features five original movies airing Saturday and Sunday until Valentine’s Day. They also have a full line-up of romantic movies all day long. This weekend I’m excited to have no plans. The only thing I want to do is watch The Hallmark Channel. Doesn’t that sound dreamy? I can hang with Easton in my jammies and watch romantic movies all day long. And then at 8 pm CST, the girls and I will be watching Anything for Love. I’m a huge fan of Erika Christensen from Parenthood so I’m really excited about this movie.
This is definitely my idea of the perfect Valentine’s Day weekend. I have to be honest with you – not having the hubby home on Valentine’s Day totally sucks but thankfully I have Connor, Easton and the girls to keep me company. And I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with chocolate, romantic movies, and great friends. Oh, I need to add wine to that list. We need some wine while eating chocolate and enjoying good movies.
