My Funny Valentine’s Day Story (and Recipe!)

I have a friend, who will remain unnamed, who nearly ended a budding romance on Valentine’s Day. Early in her courtship, not far past the honey moon period, she received a can of Pringles from the love of her life. Despite this faux pas, the couple has been together – happily – for more than thirty years now.

Pringles are delicious, but might I recommend a more romantic alternative?

Disclosure: No compensation was received for this post; I just thought that making brownies with Pringles might be a fun thing to do with kids. Thanks to Pringles for sharing the recipe!
