Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, so I thought it was high-time to start thinking about sweets for your sweetie. While many couples go out for Valentine’s Day, it seems that a vast majority prefer to enjoy a home-cooked meal in instead. Which means homemade dessert! Right up my alley
I have included over 35 of my favorite sweets and desserts that I think are especially fitting for celebrating Valentine’s Day. Nothin’ says lovin’ like some sweets baked from your heart. Whether you celebrate with a significant other, your kids, friends or family, these treats will certainly be appreciated!

Thanks for all the great suggestions here. I’ve been meaning to try the baked brownies, but then I saw the fallen chocolate cake… and the cheesecake truffles… and the red velvet cupcakes… gah! I don’t know which to choose.
