2 Ingredient Strawberry Fudge & Neapolitan Valentine Cupcakes




I hosted a 31 Party this weekend which gave me the opportunity to make some super yummy and simple Valentines Goodies-2 ingredient Strawberry Fudge and Neapolitan Valentine Cupcakes. I found both recipes on Pinterest and they were both a huge success. I loved that they were quick and easy. They turned out so pretty and so very tasty.
Bake some for your child's Valentines party at school or for your family to share as you celebrate how much you love one another. And, remember that your Heavenly Father is Crazy, Head over Heels, Lavishly in Love with you-His AGAPE love far outpasses any other love!
Blessings to you my dear friends!!
Ephesians 3:18
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is."
