The Most Decadent Valentine's Day Desserts to Whip Up This Year

There's clearly one holiday that out-sweets the rest: Valentine's Day. Sure, Christmas has cookies and caramels, and Halloween is all about the candies, but Valentine's Day is every chocolate-lover's day to shine. The most romantic day of the year gives you the perfect excuse (not that you need one) to enjoy your favorite decadent sweet treats throughout the day. And while the typical box of chocolates would suffice, these mouthwatering (and easy-to-make) Valentine's Day desserts are worth the extra effort. Whether you're spending Valentine's Day with your significant other, your Galentine's sqaud, or cuddled up on the couch with your furry friend or a bottle of wine, you're going to want to indulge in one (or more!) of these delicious Valentine's Day treats.

From all of the chocolate and fruit combinations you can imagine, to the most adorable heart-shaped treats, to the colorful cupcakes, there's a V-Day dessert for every palate. (One of the recipes even calls for wine!) If you're looking for a dessert to split with your partner after dinner, send to school with your little ones in the morning, or bring to the office to share with your coworkers, you can find the Valentine's Day treat that suits your needs. You can even take things to the next level by wrapping and gifting any one of these Valentine's Day cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and more, for the homemade present your valentine never knew they wanted.
