I love our family’s Valentine’s Day tradition of enjoying a special dinner at home, just the four of us. We decorate the table, light candles, and we cheers to us. And of course there’s always dessert!

But we also love to make other Valentine’s treats in February, and the list below includes all of our favorites! Cookies, cakes, desserts for two, and all things pink, chocolate and heart-shaped— you’re sure to find what you’re looking for and more.
