Heart-Shaped Waffles
No Galentine's Day gathering or Valentine's Day brunch is complete without a dish that looks this adorable.

If you want to keep it really simple, you could just serve with butter and syrup, and enjoy!
Homemade Strawberry Tart
This tart is given a glossy, colorful finish with a generous helping of strawberry jam on top of the berries. The combination of the fruity burst of flavor with the creamy vanilla custard makes this tart a perfect dessert for date nights.
Chocolate Bonbons
Creating homemade chocolate bonbons doesn't have to be expensive or difficult. With a few simple ingredients and an ice tray, you can make a delicious assortment of treats for your friends and family. Not to mention yourself!
Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies can be made easily with only three ingredients (peanut butter, egg, and maple syrup) and are both gluten-free and vegan! But if you’d like to save time, a medium cookie scoop makes measuring and scooping the batter a breeze. When making it for someone with a peanut allergy, just switch the peanut butter out for sunflower seed butter.
Easy Cheesecake Pie
This cheesecake couldn’t be easier and quicker to make compared to making a classic cheesecake! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate. Top the cooled cheesecake with your favorite topping. Try fresh fruit, caramel, melted chocolate, or whipped cream. Enjoy your easy cheesecake pie!
Hot Chocolate
When snuggling up with your special someone next to the fireplace, why not make a cup of this tasty hot chocolate? All you need are four ingredients (whole milk, milk powder, cornstarch, and dark chocolate) and after you give it a try, you won't ever go back to the pre-made stuff.
Sparkle Sweetheart Cookies
Your loved ones will be overjoyed to have been gifted this cute, sweet, and beautiful treat. These sparkle sweetheart cookies are dressed with a chocolate heart on top, melding perfectly with the sugar cookie. Tips: Before baking, try to add some sanding sugar on the outside of the cookies, which will be a wonderful contrast to the creamy and soft centers.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes
For those who require a gluten-free treat, these cupcakes are a great option as they are made with beaten eggs instead of flour. A dollop of cream, jam, and raspberry is all you need to top them off. You won't want to wait to enjoy them!
Healthy Strawberry Donuts
These donuts boast a delectable glaze and are packed with Greek yogurt, fresh berries, and whole wheat flour. You can top them off with chocolate chips and cocoa powder for a chocolate-covered strawberries flavor, or add more berries for a "very berry" version.
