I am here to save you money by getting you to make some of our top Valentines Day treats instead of diamonds. I promise these recipes taste better too. We all know chocolate is an aphrodisiac, so how about coffee chocolate frosting? You can put it on bacon, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, spoons, fingers, lips ok this is a PG-13 website, you can use your imagination. I won’t stall you any longer so enjoy.
Valentines Day Treats
Most of us grew up seeing Valentine’s day treats all over the place. My main memory is always seeing those boxes of Russell Stover’s chocolates. I used to get frustrated because we would lose the description sheet and always had to bite to find out what flavor it was. I wasn’t an adventurous child, so 90% of the time I didn’t like what I got.
You don’t have to worry about that when you are making your own valentines day treats. Not only are they better for you and cheaper, you don’t have to worry about that dreaded bite of flavor you don’t like.
Not to mention, nothing says love to someone else or even yourself than taking the time to hand craft something delicious to share. I personally believe the art of cooking is one of the most romantic and loving gestures that can be given. Someone is trusting you to provide their sustenance which maintains life.
That is kind of a big deal, just saying.
Just in case you find yourself in a time pinch after creating all of these valentines day treats, here are some last minute date ideas to help you out.
Valentine’s Day Ideas
We all love food, these valentines day treats have that part covered. Now here are some romantic valentines day ideas for the person you love:
- On small pieces of paper, write down every kind of kiss that you can think of (examples: passionate, on the cheek, etc.). Then fill an inexpensive red felt bag with your “kisses” and give it to your spouse. Ask your spouse to pull several pieces of paper from the felt bag, and then give your sweetheart whatever kind of kiss is described.
- Make a book about why you love your spouse and why you are thankful for him/her.
- Take your sweetie on a scavenger hunt. Ask him/her to answer riddles to find the clues to items that you placed somewhere around town. The last item should give instructions that lead to your Valentine’s Day activities.
- After enjoying a candlelight dinner for two at home, give your spouse a massage and watch a romantic movie.
- Give your wife a dozen roses. On each stem attach a note for a future date—to do something that she would enjoy (example: Go to the symphony).
- For the other 20, click here…..
It’s not secret that I love chocolate. I have been doing my research to justify my addiction and have actually found information that says long term ingestion of chocolate helps protect against UV rays. The article says women so I am going to test the theory on men for the greater good. I will report my delicious results after years and years of strict testing.
Oh and it also decreases blood pressure, so at the rate I eat it, I will try not to cease my existence. I just wanted to share some justification for you to eat as much chocolate as I do. Now go enjoy these amazing recipes.

Frosting is best straight up on a spatula.
Your recipes rock my face off!!
I want it all!!
My hubby is competing at Battle of the Boxes at Crossfit Kinnick on February 22nd so it will definitely be a paleo Valentines Day for us! These recipes will come in handy!!!
Thanks Kasey! Good luck to your husband.
Frosting on bacon! Nuff said.
I love dark chocolate everything! I want to try the chocolate coffee frosting!! And add bacon — anything bacon too!
I can’t even begin to imagine how the donut holes are going to taste with the chocolate frosting! Definitely going to try that this weekend! Thanks for the amazing recipes!!!
So I’m making the frosting tomorrow!!! Like always, you’re recipes are delicious! Everyone loves it when I make your goodies and being them to the box or to work! Never disappoints!!
Thank you so much :)
These are perfect for our date night in on Friday! Yum!
I made red velvet cupcakes last year, going to try out the pink velvet ones this time! :D
I would say best spread on coconut pancakes – perfect V Day breakfast in bed :)
I’m going to have to steal my sister’s cake pop machine for those…Looks soooo good!!!
Yum! I am salivating right now. Who wants to wait until Valentine’s Day?! The donut holes are calling my name :-)
My husband is a frosting addict. Your frosting recipe will score me multiple ‘amazing wife” points. Yummy.
you’ll be racking up PLENTY of points :)
All your recipes always look so amazing. Can’t wait to try some of these :) the lemon pound cake is calling my name!!!
The coffee chocolate frosting…. Bomb. You da bomb.
I love frosting on cinnamon rolls and donuts!
I like coconut pecan frosting between 2 shortbread cookies.
My favorite way to eat frosting? On a spoon. Nuff said. :)
EXACTLY!
Cupcakes! I can’t wait to make the coffee chocolate frosting!
Besides a spoon, it would have to be brownies or cupcakes. Or smothered on bacon!
I love my frosting on my frosting! I’ll take it straight up please. :)
I like to top my man with frosting ;) But also I make a yummy pumpkin ginger cupcake with allspice frosting!!
Cake, of course!
My mom’s beaters when I was a kid. Her frosting was all butter and cocoa and tasted like fudge :)
Why do I have to choose?!?! I’ll keep it PG and inform you that I like frosting best on cupcakes. Yum!
Oh, I really want some of those chocolate donut holes and the blueberry coffee brownies look like rainbows in edible form, whoa.
I like frosting on a spoon :) On food I like it on cake, dark chocolate cake!
Cupcakes!
I can not wait to try the coffee chocolate frosting!!!!!!
Frosting on bacon is my new thing and what I’m giving my love for Valentines day! :)
Oh my gosh I picked the wrong time to do the 21 Day Sugar Detox!!
My favorite thing with frosting on it would probably have to be cupcakes. Although technically cake pops have frosting IN it and those are the bomb diggity!!
Take a one day break from it ;) no, I’m kidding. Good luck and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Frosting on more frosting sounds delicious ;) Frosting on apple & banana slices sounds great right now, too!
I love frosting on cake, preferably chocolate and also cupcakes!
I don’t need anything to eat icing off of other than a spoon!!! Call me a purest ;)
Brownies
What do I like to top with frosting? My man! ;-) Oh, and your best ever banana bread recipe, of course!
I would put that frosting on your chocolate chip cookies! Mmmmmmmm they appear in my house at least once a month :)
frosting on cookies is my FAVORITE thing in the entire galaxy. i wish i could eat it for every meal and not get fat.
A spoon!!!!!
I like frosting on my fingers ;)
Cupcakes and frosting=awesomeness
Frosting is best on a spoon straight but I have to go with those pink velvet cupcakes …. I am guessing you have tried this with bacon already…
I’ve tried everything with bacon ;)
Cupcakes and frosting=awesomeness
Frosting on cakes, cupcakes are a second closely followed by spoons. =D Great recipes!
I love frosting on brownies and strawberries! :)
The best way to eat frosting is on the spoon :-)
CUPCAKES and FROSTING = the BEST!
My favorite thing to eat frosting on is A SPOON! No need for anything else to get in the way. :)
Cupcakes!
That frosting looks amazing. I like it on just about anything (think it’d be great on the microwave cake) but think it’d like to try it on bacon. :)
I like chocolate frosting to dip my crispy nuts into. Delicious!
CAN I JUST EAT FROSTING WITH A SPOON PLEASE?
It’s really difficult to choose what I like to eat frosting on, but my go-to would probably have to be cupcakes (obviously, because a cupcake without frosting is obviously a muffin). For a more unconventional combo, I go for frosting + graham crackers. So good.
Can’t wait to try this on the paleo chocolate cake I love so much!!!
I love yellow cake with chocolate frosting, but these recipes look yummy too!
I love frosting in cinnamon rolls and cake!
I love frosting on cinnamon rolls and cake!
I like icing on anything salty!
I love chocolate frosting on those cupcakes! I’m definitely making it for valentines day!
I like frosting on a spoon or spatula depending if i just made a batch or if its already put away :)
Frosting on cupcakes is my favorite…but frosting off a spoon will do just as well!
Frosting off a spoon is my favorite :)
Yum! That new frosting recipe looks delicious! Definitely want to lick that spatula! LOL.
I like frosting on cakes and cupcakes the most, second probably world have to be donuts! Thanks for all of the yummy recipes George!!!
