Homemade Chocolate Ideas for Valentine's Day

Nothing says “I love you” like some homemade chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Since the price of candy and flowers usually goes sky high around Valentine’s Day making your own homemade chocolates for your sweetheart can be a great way to save money and still give that special someone a gift that they’ll love. When you need a special homemade valentine treat you can:

  • Make homemade chocolates using some “naughty” chocolate molds for a little bit of fun.

  • Plan a sensuous dessert by cutting up some fresh fruit and making an exotic, spicy chocolate dipping sauce.

  • Make your sweetie a dozen chocolate rose lollipops instead of giving a dozen roses.

  • Use Valentine themed cookie cutters to make special chocolate bars and fudge pieces.

  • Make homemade chocolates that your child can bring to school and share with classmates instead of buying expensive valentines.

  • Surprise your sweetie with heart shaped pancakes and homemade chocolate sauce for breakfast.

  • Make some special hot chocolate mixes as gifts for friends and family.

  • Mix up an exotic chocolate sauce and serve it warm over some cold ice cream.

  • Have an Anti- Valentine’s Day party and make some dark chocolate broken heart candies for your friends that are single.

  • Make homemade chocolate gift bags for everyone in the office.

  • Use Valentine’s Day molds to create chocolate Cupids and then decorate them with candy coloring. Give one to everyone you meet on Valentine’s Day.

  • Make yourself a special Valentine’s Day chocolate treat and fill some dark chocolate truffles with champagne and a little rosewater.

  • Make a box of homemade chocolates for your partner and top each one with a rose petal.
