14 Healthy Homemade Valentine's Day Desserts

I don’t know about you, but I feel like any holiday that encourages me to include more chocolate in my life is a holiday I’m willing to celebrate.

Bake a cake just because? Yes, please.

Drop of a dozen cookies at your neighbor’s house? Sign me up.

Mail a box of brownies across the country to your bestie? Already sent ’em.

Bring in a special treat to work and become the most beloved member of the office? DUH.

Pick a special recipe to make with your sweetheart Valentine’s Day night instead of going out? Now you’re speaking my love language.

Granted, these days I’m a little bit of a party pooper since I’m more interested in sustainable, fair trade, organic, small farmer grown chocolate than all the fun, brightly colored Valentine’s Day chocolates… but still. I’m fully embracing the homemade side of Valentine’s Day and I hope you will, too.

So, to help us both out, below are 14 of my favorite chocolate-filled desserts, perfect for making for Valentine’s Day! If you make any of them, be sure to leave a comment below or snap a photo of the goods and tag me in it on Instagram so I can see!
