Valentine’s Day is a rather special day for me. Obviously, it’s a day centered around hearts, love, and chocolate. But it’s also the day my husband and I married. On a Wednesday night. In an ice storm. This year we’ll celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary, so, I invite you to celebrate with me with one of these Favorite Valentine Chocolate Desserts.

(Post updated on 1/24/24.)

Rather than fight the crowds and long lines, my husband and I often stay home on our anniversary, and I’ll make a special dinner. Steaks, shrimp, Chicken Cordon Bleu, or maybe even an Italian dinner that we enjoy. And that dinner usually (always) includes a chocolate dessert! What is Valentine’s day without some yummy delicious chocolate? Right?

The real question is, which one will I make this year?

Favorite Valentine Chocolate Desserts – Mousse or Fondue

If you love chocolate, I encourage you to give French Chocolat Chaud a try. Imagine decadent dark chocolate, melted down and mixed with milk, then heated low until it gradually thickens. Not thick like a pudding or even ganache, and certainly not like the hot chocolate we know in the United States. And while neither a mousse or fondue, it’s Intense, Rich, and Quite Heavenly.
