If you're planning a romantic Valentine's dinner at home, you could top it off with store-bought candies. Everyone loves a heart-shaped box of candies, but maybe that's a little bit overdone.
You could surprise your date with a big Valentine dessert, but that's a lot of work (and sometimes a lot of dishes), especially when Valentine's is on a weekday.
We recommend whipping up one of these easy, no-bake Valentine's desserts instead. Some of these recipes are quick and easy enough to whip up right after dinner. Others are perfect for making the day before. We can guarantee that they're all delicious, though. Especially since they'll be made with love and your Valentine in mind.
