The top 5 chocolate desserts for Valentine’s Day would be a dream come true for a chocoholics, to eat as well as to bake. And is there really any better way to express your sentiments better than to do it with some good old fashioned chocolate?

 1. Sweetheart Valentine Cake

Sweetheart Valentine Cake is one of the chocolatiest desserts for Valentines Day - ideal to win over your beau. You can use some colorful candy to decorate it or spell out a message as well, giving it that extra personal touch. Whipped cream or icing is another option to make the cake look more fancy and decorative. Use a heart shaped baking tray and serve it right after a romantic candlelit dinner. You can make the evening more fun by whipping up serving a Lovers Cocktail along with the cake.

2. Chocolate Cupcakes

Who doesn’t love cupcakes?The chocolate cupcakes would of course be one of the most perfect chocolate desserts for Valentines Day. Baking a batch of cupcakes is super easy, you can spell out “I love you” by icing each cup cake with an alphabet and place them out on the dining table or leave them as a surprise in the kitchen. It’s a dessert you can never go wrong with. Use some sprinkles to make them look super pretty and yummlicious. They’re also a great dessert for someone who does not have much of a sweet tooth as the portion size is relatively small.

3. Dark Chocolate Mousse

The top 5 chocolate desserts have to feature at least one in dark chocolate. You can even ease of some of the guilt while eating this if you think about the health benefits in the antioxidants that dark chocolate has. It is the most delectable desserts for Valentine’s Day, especially since, it can be made a day ahead of time and everybody gets their own serving. Make sure you buy good quality bittersweet chocolate as it makes a world of difference to the taste of the mousse.

4. Chocolate Chip Cookies 

This dessert is for the person who hates stepping into the kitchen, can barely operate a stove or create anything from scratch. Simply go to your nearest grocery store, pick up refrigerated cookie dough. I personally love Nestle, Toll House and Pillsbury doughs. Simply take the cookie dough, place it on a baking tray and pop it into the oven for a batch of freshly baked desserts for Valentines Day.  These cookies taste pretty darn fantastic as well.

5. Chocolate Brownies

This is one of my personal favorite chocolate desserts for Valentines Day. You can create this from scratch or take the easy way out by buying a ready to make mix from your grocery store. You can buy a cutter and just as the brownies are taken out of the oven all warm and gooey, use the cutter to get them into heart shapes. This will make them look more romantic and definitely will be more fun to eat. Don’t skimp out on decorating them with a little chocolate or vanilla icing. Serve them after a romantic dinner  that you made for your sweetheart.

So this was my list of the Top 5 chocolate desserts for Valentines Day.  I hope these ideas help you out in planning a romantic and memorable evening for your sweetheart. The most important thing to remember while baking these is to have fun with it.
