Flowers and a box of chocolate are always nice, but if you ask me, there’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a homemade dessert. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two or hosting a Valentine’s Day get-together, we’ve got the treats covered.

From fun and whimsical to downright decadent, we’ve found something for everyone. The hardest part is deciding which one to make first. Of course, no one says you have to pick just one!

Want to make the holiday even sweeter? Serve these desserts with this Bailey’s Hot Chocolate (for the grownups) or this Hot Chocolate Charcuterie Board (for the kids)!

These all look amazing! Unfortunately, I’m giving up sweets for Lent. I think I’ll cheat and have some chocolate covered strawberries on Valentine’s day though!

Yum! Great collection of treats. I’m going to have to have some chocolate to tide me over until the big day now. 😉
