With only 4 ingredients in this recipe for the base, even a beginner in the kitchen can handle putting these together. For decoration and flavor we’d recommend rolling the truffles in crushed pecans, cocoa powder, cinnamon and powdered sugar, or baby chocolate chips.
Red Velvet Cake Pops:
A little bit more challenging than the other desserts on this list, these cake pops are sure to impress with their fun look! These are great for the younger Valentine’s Day celebrators, and your kids will LOVE taking these into school instead of Valentine’s cards. Although kids love them the most, I’ve never seen an adult turn down one of these gorgeous little treats. Also perfect for Valentine’s Day parties, they would make a great display for the middle of the appetizer table!

Who said Gluten-Free couldn’t impress just as much as the gluten-filled stuff? After checking out this recipe certainly not me!

No recipe needed for this one except your favorite brownie recipe, or you can even grab the fun mini brownies from your favorite store.

Simple, delicious, and romantic- these desserts are sure to add some fun to your Valentine’s Day!
Chocolate Mousse Decadence in a Wine Glass:
You know what makes me think of Valentine’s Day? In this order it would be: Chocolate Mousse, Homemade Whip Cream, Strawberries, Wine Glasses, and even more chocolate in the form of chocolate wafers! This dessert combines all of those things into something beautiful! Also this would pair beautifully with a glass of red wine. Fancy but a little gooey too, this is such a fun treat for your Valentine’s Day!
Remember if you put something together yourself your date is sure to be impressed with your thoughtfulness and cooking skills! And both are qualities most people would be very pleased to have in their significant other. So have a happy Valentine’s Day, and Bon Appetit!
