As it's Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought I would share another delicious recipe with you all. 

 These cookie bars are super quick and easy to make. I found these super cute coloured chocolates hearts from Flying Tiger and added them into the recipe, but you can use M&M's or smarties. 



These cookie bars have a great texture, they are chewy, thick with a buttery flavour and loaded with chocolate chunks and crunchy hearts. 

Are these Valentine's Cookie Bars going to be your new favourite?
