Not only is 2/14 Valentine’s Day (in case you have been hiding under a rock!) BUT February is National Pancake Month! Why not celebrate both by grabbing the kids and making your loved one breakfast in bed! Kids (and adults) will be sure to LOVE this amazing recipe that MiniMunchers was lucky enough to borrow from Clinton St. Bakery & Restaurant Chef Neil Kleinberg for Chocolate Chunk Pancakes.
