If Valentine's Day had an official food it would, of course, be Chocolate! While it's fun to give and also get a box of chocolates, it's even more fun to find a reason to spend time in the kitchen together making a special Valentine's Day dessert. After all, the best gift you can give is your time and attention. Plus who doesn't love chocolate? Your family and of course you will enjoy these sweet chocolaty treats just in time for Valentine's Day!
