14 Valentine’s Day Recipes for the Chocolate Lover

Valentine’s Day is somewhat of a polarizing holiday; most people either love it or hate it. Those who love it see it as a day to celebrate their relationships—whether those of family, friends, or (most commonly) spouses/significant others. In contrast, those who hate it often see the holiday as a reminder of their “singleness” or of past failed relationships.

Regardless of where you fall on the Valentine’s Day “spectrum,” there are plenty of ways to turn the holiday into something worth celebrating. (In fact, we thought of fourteen of them!)

If there’s one thing the majority of people can agree on—whether single, married, divorced, or widowed—it’s a love of chocolate. And what’s not to love? The sweet treat comes in all varieties of flavors, is perfect for snacking on or baking into breakfasts and desserts, and even has some added health benefits like antioxidants!

So whether you’re preparing a special meal for your husband or wife, or throwing a “singles party” with your friends, consider these fourteen chocolate-centric recipes you’re sure to love!
