Dip the truffles in melted white or dark chocolate, or coat in cocoa powder. Roll the truffles with your favorite garnish like chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, or Valentine sprinkles.

They sound like great recipes. Not that she’s my Valentine (although) , but that Chocolate Éclair Cake sounds like something my granddaughter would love
I love this idea so much. I think handmade anything – including desserts or dinners – is always the more meaningful way to show you care.
I LOVE this! I make a special pink vanilla cake every year for Valentine’s Day for my husband and me. It’s so much more special that way.
