Red Velvet Godiva Donuts

I’ve been craving donuts for the longest time. I haven’t had a donut in years! I remember my parents used to buy a dozen donuts on the weekends, but it was a very rare treat for us. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we recently whipped up Red Velvet Godiva Donuts! 

I love my sweets and I love chocolate! However, since I’ve been sick, I haven’t craved chocolate or sweets! Crazy! 

With everything going on, I like to treat us here and there. 

Valentine’s Day is all about love! When you’re single, you can make it your own and celebrate yourself! Pamper yourself! Treat yourself!

Valentine’s Day usually isn’t a big deal but I am trying to start new traditions in our home! This year, I am making Red Velvet Godiva Donuts!

How are you celebrating Valentine’s Day? Do you have a special someone?
