Last-Minute Valentine's Day Dessert Recipes

Eastern Europeans have jumped on the Western custom of celebrating Valentine's Day. In the United States, Valentine's week is number one for chocolate candy sales. But the price of good-quality chocolates continues to soar, so why not try your hand at making truffles? They are easy to do and require only two ingredients -- chocolate and heavy cream.

If truffles aren't your thing, try chocolate-dipped strawberries, another recipe requiring only two ingredients -- chocolate and strawberries.

And, if all else fails, try this easy chocolate mousse recipe sandwiched between Salem Baking Co.'s Moravian Cookies. If you're looking for a Valentine's gift for the foodie in your life, try Just Specialties Fine Food Truffle Kits.
