You do have a partner but you realize how cheesy the day can be when you’re sitting at a chain restaurant looking around at all the other couples doing what they’re supposed to be doing and it all feels anything but special. You don’t have a boyfriend? You feel like an undesirable 24-year-old spinster. In short, I realized it was a no-win situation. And what do you know, I still found myself disappointed in the whole charade. As I grew older and had more romantic interests I found myself playing along with the notion of Valentine’s Day because that’s what you’re supposed to do. Even as a young teenager I felt left out as I never really had a boyfriend, just unrequited crushes. Looking back my love for Valentine’s Day died the year I stopped handing punch-out cards to my classmates if I’m being honest. And if I’m being completely honest, they’re great at any time. Whether you’re making these bourbon truffles to hand them out to friends and neighbors or as a sweet treat post-dinner, it’s a home run. These are also a GREAT homemade treat around the holidays, to be honest, and I made them a few times this last Christmas. Because well, I made this Chocolate Truffles recipe with Valentine’s Day in mind.
