Well, everyone else is doing it, so we will too! Chocolate, that is. There's a requisite level of cacao trotted out at this time every year. So here are fifteen chocolate desserts and treats for Valentine's. We've got candy, in case you want to skip the waxy bon-bons in favor of your own decadent truffles, and we have luscious puddings, creamy gelato, cracked and shiny brownies, and deep, dark chocolate cake.
