    Valentine's Day is all about the chocolate and fruity desserts! I compiled 39 of my best Valentine's Day desserts that I think would be perfect for you to make for your significant other or kids.

    You'll find rich and decadent chocolate desserts, pink and red velvet desserts, and of course plenty of sweet treats with fresh fruit.
