Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to indulge in a little indulgence. Or maybe it’s just a lot of self-indulgence. 😉 No need to plan a huge celebration! A simple sleepover is still the perfect reason to treat yourself and/or a loved one.
I’ve gathered all of my favorite Valentine’s Day desserts here. We’ve got everything from super chocolatey decadent recipes to simple and fun festive treats.
I love this holiday! This year we are having a family fondue night and ending with chocolate fondue. But I probably couldn’t resist making giant chocolate chip cookies with pink and red M&Ms. (It’s my kids’ favorite thing about Valentine’s Day!)
