Who doesn’t love a chocolaty treat every now and then? Our Friends at Cooking Light created simple chocolate treats that everyone is sure to love. Make this Valentine’s Day special by making these delicious desserts with your kids and loved ones!

Chocolate-Granola Apple Wedges

“Try something new and swap out the traditional chocolate covered strawberries for apples. If you can’t find Braeburn apples, Gala or Fuji varieties also stand up to dipping and add a touch more sweetness.”

Chocolate-Cherry Heart Smart Cookies

“Bittersweet chocolate and dried cherries lend the perfect amount of sweetness to hearty oatmeal cookies. Double the recipe and store extras in the freezer for whenever you need a healthy treat.”

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops

These no-bake cookies come together in a snap! Extra chocolate chips provide firmness, texture, and a shiny gloss to these cookies and allow for the use of less butter. Make this quick treat for parties or whenever your sweet tooth calls.
