Valentine’s Day Desserts Made to Share

Valentine's Day baking does not have to mean an elaborate dessert or a formal dinner. A pan of brownies can go into lunchboxes, cake pucks can be made with children, and a cheesecake can be shared around the table after an ordinary meal.

This collection includes chocolate, red velvet, peanut butter, cheesecake, shortbread, and no-bake options for showing care in a way that fits your time and the people you're baking for.
