In a word:  chocolate.  Here are 5 foods that will make you forget that Valentines Day is just another Thursday in February where you don’t have a date:

1. Chocolate Covered Pretzels (see my previous post here for instructions)

2. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I.  There are a lot of ways to do this.  You can melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the                  microwave for just a few seconds(make sure to not overcook).  I like to use wooden                dowels as skewers for the strawberries.  You don’t need a chocolate fountain to                        have fondue.

3. Literally anything dipped in Nutella (ok, maybe not anything)

4.  Heart shaped pancakes

I.  step one: make pancake mix

II. step two:  pour in shape of heart

5.  dum dums (or those heart shaped lollipops that taste 100x better than normal lollipops)
