20 Cute Cupcakes For Your Valentine

"...Chocolates and flowers are fine, but wouldn't a cupcake be better?

We think so.

From adults-only liquor cupcakes to chocolate-stuffed treats, we bet your love will be even sweeter after trying one of these decadent desserts...."

Red Velvet Chocolate-Swirled Brownie Bars

"...They’re in between a brownie and a bar. Not over-the-top chocolaty to give them true brownie status, but much fudgier, denser, and richer than your typical bar.

Classic red velvet is known to have chocolate undertones, but isn’t overly chocolaty, and these hit that mark

And they’re as far away from red velvet cake that you can get.

Nothing light, fluffy, or cakey about them. They’re smooth, rich, dense, and supremely moist.

They’re an easy, no-mixer, scratch recipe that comes together in minutes. Just as easy as opening a box of red velvet cake mix, but so much better and more unique tasting....."

Valentine's Day Parfaits

"...this is a great thing to do at a school Valentine's party. This is a fun alternative to bringing cookies or cupcakes.

We start with clear cups and decorate them with heart foam stickers (just for fun).

Then we layer cake, pudding mixture, cool whip and sprinkles..."

Conversation Heart Cheesecakes

"...when I decided to make heart shaped cheesecakes to look like conversation hearts, there was no doubt in my mind what recipe I'd use. Tyler's recipe calls for a bit of lemon zest, which I love, but I oftentimes leave it out depending on how I'll be serving the cakes. I didn't want flecks of lemon zest in these pastel colored cakes, so I just flavored the cheesecake with a good quality vanilla extract..."

Raspberry White Chocolate Heart Cheesecake

"...My first Valentine’s Day recipe this year was this mini heart-shaped white chocolate cheesecake, and it turned out so well that I almost want to quit now while I’m ahead, because I don’t think I can top this!...

Cut in half, this is just the right size to serve two people, making it perfect for a Valentine’s date..."

Valentine Jelly Pops

"...I decided to focus on a cute treat for kid’s parties, Valentine Jelly Pops...

I used a flexible silicon mold (a flexible silicone mini muffin pan would also work). But the recipe could be set in an 8” x 8” glass or non-reactive metal pan and cut into cubes, jiggler style, for equally adorable results. Whatever method used to set them, these jelly pops are adorable served..."

Raspberry-White Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

"...Heart-shaped cheesecakes are the way to show that special someone your love this Valentine's Day, but they're also delicious the rest of the year. Bake a batch to celebrate your sweetie today..."

Sweetheart Cupcakes

"...These fun cupcakes are quite easy to create!

First, bake a batch of chocolate cupcakes. I used my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe, but feel free to use any recipe or box mix you prefer. The only special instructions would be to make sure to fill the liners just a bit more than you might normally (about 1/2 inch below the top of the liner), because you need to..."

Valentine's Wedding Cookies

"...These cookies are actually wedding cookies. Where I live, they are often called Mexican Wedding Cookies. However, you may know them as Danish wedding cookies or Italian wedding cookies. Regardless of the name, they're all pretty much the same thing. Some variations are made with almonds, but Texans are pecan people through and through, so that's what I use...

I thought it would be fun to give this traditional favorite a Valentine’s Day twist..."

Valentine's Day S'mores

"...Valentine's Day is around the corner and I wanted share with you all really yummy treat you can make for your friends, dear ones, children or for yourself...

These Valentine's Day S'mores may seem to be little too complicated to make, but in fact the most time consuming to make are Perfect Graham Crackers , but even so they are totally worth the time because they are delicious.

They are perfect to munch on alone, drizzled with some dark chocolate or you can use them to make these festive Valentine's Day S'mores"

Valentine Bark

This Valentine was adapted from the Chocolate Cherry Bark recipe. I'm sure both are delicious and both look great for the holiday. Just choose whichever better suits your tastes!

Chocolate Cherry Bark

"...This Chocolate Cherry Bark was inspired by the Chocolate Cherry Valentines Day M&Ms. It’s really quick and easy to throw together and would look super cute in little cello bags tied with a ribbon.

You’ll need:..."
