Whether you are with the Love of your life or hanging with your best girlfriends, celebrating Valentine’s Day seems to always call for a glass of Champagne. It’s just such a celebratory drink, but let’s switch it up a little bit this year and turn this bubbly drink into a festive and sweet dessert. These would be perfect on a Galentine’s brunch buffet or dessert for the special homemade dinner for your hubby. Though these baked (which makes them super easy to make), whoever you are making them for will still be super impressed.
