Valentine’s Day Chocolate Recipes

Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots (vegan)

Surely there can’t be anything much more loved-up than these vegan salted caramel chocolate pots from Yumsome?

Chocolate Valentine’s Cakes

Well it’s all about the hearts with these cute little chocolate Valentine’s cupcakes. Well actually, it’s also about the lush chocolate sponge and moussy whipped chocolate ganache. These are one of mine, here on Tin and Thyme.

Strawberry Champagne Truffle Tarts

I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a Valentine’s dessert quite as irresistible as these strawberry & champagne truffle tarts from Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen. Have you?

Nutella French Toast

February is full of surprises. It’s also World Nutella Day too – apparently! So why not treat your loved one to breakfast in bed with this Nutella French toast?

White Chocolate And Rose Blondies

Janice of FarmersGirl Kitchen went all girlie and pink on us for this one. Having trouble finding rosewater in the depths of Scotland, she eventually came across a bottle of rosehip cordial with which she made these very pink white chocolate and rose blondies.

Valentine Mont Blanc Profiteroles

These Valentine Mont Blanc profiteroles were the first assay into choux pastry for Laura and her daughter over at How to Cook Good Food. Filled with chestnut cream and topped with dark chocolate ganache, I really want one of these too.

Triple Chocolate Cake

For no good reason, other than I felt like it, I went to town and baked this buttery triple chocolate cake – chocolate cake sandwiched with a white chocolate mascarpone filling and topped with a rich chocolate ganache. A lovely way to say “I love you”.

Valentine’s Day Brownies

Brownies are one of my absolute favourite bakes and how I would have loved a batch of these Valentine’s Day Brownies on the day – or any other day come to that. Made by Angela at Only Crumbs Remain, these contain a hidden toffee surprise.

Chocolate Malteser Loaf

Lucy over at Baking Queen has made a chocolate Malteser loaf cake. Perfect for a red nose cake sale or Valentine’s Day. Who could resist?

Valentine’s Chocolate Heart Cakes

Dark chocolate sponges sandwiched with white chocolate ganache. The ganache is loved up with subtle rose tones to make these Valentine’s chocolate heart cakes truly fit for the day.

Chocolate Brownie Valentine’s Cake

Caroline continues to practice her wedding cake skills over at Caroline Makes. And here she shares her pretty chocolate brownie Valentine’s cake with stencilled hearts.

Valentine’s Surprise Cake

Now what could be more perfect for Valentine’s Day than a cake with a heart running through it? Valentine Surprise Cake from Baking in Franglais.

Valentine Rocky Road

If brownies and tiffin are on offer I’m never sure which one to try. I find them both irresistible. Here’s a special one to show the love from Foodie Quine – Valentine Rocky Road.

Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Cake

And to finish off, we have a glorious vegan chocolate raspberry cake from Katie Cakes. Like Katie, I was amazed at how good a vegan cake could be when I first made one several years ago, Now vegan baking has become so normal, I barely think about it.

Chocolate Blackberry Cupcakes

Some more hearts for Valentines Day with these chocolate blackberry cupcakes from Johanna at Green Gourmet Giraffe.

Rose And Pistachio Blondies

After some experimentation with rose sugar and not being satisfied, Suelle of Mainly Baking came up with these very pretty Rose and Pistachio Blondies using cocoa nibs to give the additional texture and colour.

Blood Orange Chocolate Bakes

Blood oranges are bang on season in February. What better fruit to use than blood red oranges in your valentine chocolate recipes?

Blood Orange Chocolate Cake

February is the perfect month to enjoy seasonal blood oranges. I couldn’t resist making a blood orange chocolate cake, even though you can’t see the colour.

Sicilian Blood Orange Chocolate Cake

Shaheen over at A2K – A Seasonal Veg Table made this glorious upside down Sicilian blood orange chocolate cake to please her husband, but as it turned out she rather liked it too.

Red Velvet Bakes

No colour denotes love more than red, so red velvet cakes and other bakes are perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Red Velvet Cheesecake

A cake come dessert is the best type of cake I reckon. Caroline made a red velvet cheesecake to fulfil this function for a late Valentine’s dinner.

Beetroot Chocolate Brownies

Adding vegetables to cakes and other sweet treats is by no means a new concept says Shaheen from A2K – A Seasonal Veg Table. New or not, I’m a big fan of beetroot and chocolate and would be very happy tucking into one of these beetroot chocolate brownies.
