Valentine’s Day is upon us and we all know what that means. Just another excuse to have something sweet with your most-loved one. Forget about expensive jewelry and other gifts. Chocolate Valentines are all you might need. 

Yes, dark chocolate is a healthy food now, even Harvard researchers agree. Cocoa is full of plant chemicals called flavanols, which help protect your heart. And when you’re in love, your heart needs protecting anyway, doesn’t it? In my experience, definitely. Maybe that’s why me and my partner always find a way to share something sweet together. It happens to be our only set in stone plan for Valentine’s Day. And it could be yours as well.

7 ideas for Chocolate Valentines 

1. Chocolate Heart Cookies

The chocolate heart cookies are not only tasty and sweet, but they’re also pretty healthy. They’re made from whole wheat flour, coconut powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup. The filling also has a coconut twist: with coconut flakes and cocoa powder combined with coconut oil to give the cookies amazing texture when you and your loved one bite into them.

2. Pretzel Crusted Chocolate Tart

This pretzel crusted chocolate tart is a great sweet and salty combo that you’re going to want to try. It only takes about 25 minutes to make.
