Sorry boxed chocolate, it’s not you, it’s us. It’s time we move on to better gifts for those we love dearly.
Every year around Valentine’s Day, significant others scramble to order bouquets and grab any gift they can get their hands on. The classic, heart-shaped box of chocolates has become a staple gift, and while it is thoughtful, it is also predictable and dare we say, overdone.
This year, we encourage you to try something new. Instead of bringing home the same boring box of chocolates, show that special person how much you care by crafting a one-of-a-kind homemade treat with the best ingredients.
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like decadent desserts, and these melt-in-your-mouth Vegan Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting are just that. This recipe is the holy grail of tasty pairings in a snackable, lovingly-crafted form. Even better, they’re vegan and dairy-free, which means they’ll be extra appreciated by those who are looking to cut animal products from their diets.
If you’re looking for the most romantic dessert to make this Valentine’s Day, you’ve found it. Each delicious layer has a flavorful combination of vanilla beans, raspberries and chocolate that will have you falling head over heels in love. Tiramisu is a timeless indulgence and a true showstopper that will have you both craving it for weeks after.
It’s a fact that everything tastes better in miniature form. We took your love for cheesecake and transformed it into bite-sized delights to satisfy your sweet tooth after a hearty Valentine’s Day dinner. This fan-favorite is even topped off with a red cherry pie filling to fit the occasion. Did someone say pretty please with a cherry on top?
If you and your significant other like savory-sweet desserts, you’re in luck. Our Shiitake Dark Chocolate Cookies combine the earthy notes of shiitake mushroom with the richness of dark chocolate to create a robust bittersweet and umami flavor profile. This cookie is perfect for the adventurous foodie, who will be asking for them again and again.
