I’m really not a huge Valentine’s Day person. I’ve always felt slighted by the romantic holiday, since my birthday comes very shortly after. Still, I’ll indulge in some Valentines Day decadence as long as it involves chocolate.

Here are a few luscious looking recipes from some of my favorite food bloggers. I’m of the opinion that these should be made for me, and definitely not by me on February 14th.

If there’s one thing I love almost as much as chocolate it is peanut butter. The combination: deadly. I’m dying for these chocolate peanut butter macaroons by Cannelle et Vanille. Or this triple chocolate mousse… three ways. Um, hello, sign me up.

I’ve recently become an avid reader of Tartlette’s blog and almost lost my mind when I saw this recipe for a Chocolate Torte, Caramel Ice Cream and Chocolate Sorbet. And Chocolate Mudcake Ice Cream Sandwiches. Yes, please.

Bakerella had me at hello with this fourteen layer cake. Yes, fourteen layers baked individually like pancakes and then coated in a chocolate ganache followed by a buttercream frosting. That is dedication to a chocolate love.

Peanut butter and chocolate strikes again with this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake from Smitten Kitchen.

The other night Gavi and I whipped up another Barefoot Contessa de-light (Note: there is nothing light about this recipe). While I’m a big fan of her Outrageous Brownies, sometimes you just don’t have the time for a double boiler.

Have no fear, Ina’s Brownie Pudding is here. This recipe takes only cocoa powder, so no need to stand over the stove slowly melting chocolate. Plus, it bakes in a casserole dish (preferably round) and is very undercooked in the center. Translation: the perfect combination of crusty brownies along the edge and brownie batter in the center. In other words, bliss.

Is your mouth watering now?
