All Things Sweet Recipe

Sweetheart Brownies & More Valentine’s Dessert Ideas

If yesterday’s Valentine Cocktail wasn’t enough to get you thinking about February 14th, then maybe these Valentine’s dessert ideas will do the trick!

Valentine's Dessert Ideas

Weekends are for gathering with friends, and today I am gathering with some blogging friends to share some sweet treats for Valentine’s Day or any day. I mean, who doesn’t love a brownie!!

The brownies are the kind that chocolate dreams are made of. They are like mini fudgy chocolatey cakes frosted in a buttery chocolate glaze.

Valentine's Dessert Ideas

As delicious as these decadent brownies are, can we talk about the candy conversation hearts for a minute? What happened to the sentimental, mushy romantic sayings? I had to dig through the bag to find a few that fit the bill.

I mean seriously! No, I don’t want to “text you”. And, what exactly does “BAE” mean? Don’t even get me started with “hand with me”! More than half were stamped with the word “nice”. Come on! Out of about 60+ hearts I found 3 “smiles”, 1 “you & me” and 1 “love you”. What is this world coming too!!

Valentine's Dessert ideas

Back to the brownies! A simple lace pattern was added with pink frosting and a small round icing tip. A single conversation heart in the centre offers a little Valentine’s message! Find the recipe below.

Whether you celebrate February 14th with your kids, your gal pal or your special someone, these sweetheart brownies will be a hit!

Another really easy, yet scrumptious heart shaped dessert is this Valentine’s Strawberry Tart. Although I make it all year round!
