Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and most people can agree that there always seems to be two sides to this holiday. There are the girls who get obnoxiously excited for getting to dress up in pink, go on a romantic date and eat more chocolate than is humanly possible. Then there are the girls who pledge to sit on their couch all day, wear depressing, dark colors and watch The Notebook with tissues in hand. While both sides can have heavily convincing arguments as to why it is the best/worst holiday, I would like to make a point as to why this may be one of the best holidays ever, Food. Oh my god, so much food. Whether you have a Valentine’s Day date or not, absolutely no one can argue the fact that this is when all the best delicious chocolatey desserts start to appear in the local bakeries and restaurants will have special dessert menus only for this occasion. However, being college students, we do not always have the time, money or mainly domestic talent to prepare such amazing treats. So I’ve found a few delicious Valentine’s Day recipes that not only call for basic ingredients, but are also fun and easy to prepare!
Creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert
This recipe is great! Not only does it have quick prep time of only twenty minutes, but it combines peanut butter and chocolate… Enough said.

Molten Lava Cakes
So, just a warning to anyone who may be attempting to create this dessert, it is definitely not for those who are health conscious. Being created by Paula Deen means you should definitely watch how many of these you eat, even if they are delicious!

Conversation Heart Cookies
These cookies may be the coolest Valentine’s Day recipe I have seen so far. While they take a little more work than the rest of the recipes, by writing a candy heart-like message, you’d be giving a unique and personalized Valentine’s Day idea to your Valentine and friends!
