The Retreat at Tampa Blog has five chocolate recipes to help you celebrate your Valentine’s day this month. These are some of our favorite treats, and we think you’ll enjoy making them on February 14th. We hope that you have a wonderful Valentine’s day with the people you love.
French Hot Chocolate Recipe from A Spicy Perspective
Drink your chocolate for dessert. This french hot chocolate is even thicker and sweeter than your regular cup of hot chocolate. You’ll love its sweet, decadent, delicious taste. Make this treat with bittersweet chocolate bars, whole milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mint Chocolate Chip Truffles from Shugary Sweets
We love these mint chocolate chip truffles. Use cream cheese, unsalted butter, peppermint extract, chocolate chips, and food coloring gel to make the filling, and use your favorite brand of melting chocolate for the exterior. These are the perfect dessert to snack on after a heavy Valentine’s day dinner.
French Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Ganache from Chowhound
Macarons are famously difficult to make, but there’s no better time to try than Valentine’s day! Enlist someone you love to help you make these delicious, decadent macarons. Our favorite part of this recipe? The chocolate ganache made with bittersweet chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter.
Brooklyn Blackout Cupcakes from Baking Mischief
These Brooklyn blackout cupcakes are loaded with chocolate with a slight bite from the hot coffee in this recipe. You’ll love how the cake, pudding filling, and chocolate glaze all add up for an extra-chocolatey (and delicious) Valentine’s day dessert.
Mini Sour Cream Chocolate Cakes from Handle the Heat
The sour cream in these mini sour cream chocolate cakes give this treat the perfect texture. You’ll love just how sugary sweet this dessert is — caster sugar and brown sugar make these cakes one of the sweetest treats we’ve ever tried. The chocolate frosting (butter, powdered sugar, milk, semi-sweet chocolate, chocolate shavings) is the perfect finishing touch.
