Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes
Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes are the perfect dessert for Valentine’s Day!
Chock full with healthy ingredients, why not make these Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes instead of buying the sugary candy or box of chocolates for your Valentine.
They are so easy to make and I tend to make these cupcakes all year round not just on Valentines Day.
