11 Valentine’s Day Desserts That Have Us Head Over Heels

Valentine’s Day is a day for romance, chocolate, and just spending time with loved ones. Even if you don’t have a significant other, it’s more than likely that you will want to head out or stay in with a good movie and top it all off with delectable treats.

This is not to mention that February 14th falls on a Saturday this year – meaning that there will be more incentive than ever to plan something. How about taking it easy, kicking it back, and preparing these perfectly healthy Valentine’s Day treats. These are much healthier options than that huge box of chocolates!
