While we love any holiday that has become synonymous with the giving and receiving of chocolate, we don’t love the crazy amounts of sugar in most of the store-bought stuff.
If you’d like to shower your Valentine in sweet chocolate treats come February 14, do it responsibly! These better-for-you chocolate recipes say I Love You in all the right ways.
Salted Caramel Mars Bars
Our fresh take on a classic choccy bar fave is every bit as sweet, chewy and caramelly as the recipe’s namesake. Sprinkle with salt to take the flavour profile to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Chocolate Walnut Brownies
Rich, fudgy and chewy in all the ways, Lakanto Chocolate Cake Mix combined with the walnuts also make this treat a great source of fibre and protein. Sub in or add any other nuts or even some fresh fruits or berries for a customised brownie tailored for your love.

Chocolate Donuts
Is there anything our Lakanto Chocolate Cake Mix can’t do?! Here’s yet another easy, yummy, almost entirely sugar free take on a decadent treat. Dip the donuts in our new Dark Chocolate Baking Bits or any other low-sugar dark chocolate (melted, of course) for a glossy finish that rivals any old Krispy Kreme.

Crème Caramel Chocolate Slice
It’s little secret that chocolate and caramel are a match made in heaven. This treat uses our epic recipe for sugar-free condensed milk – we suggest you file it away for any other recipe that calls for condensed milk or caramel.

Classic Chocolate Cupcakes
Soft, perfectly moist cupcakes topped with a chocolate cream frosting. If that doesn’t say ‘Be my Valentine’ we don’t know what will! Dead easy to make, mums or dads looking to treat the other half can get the kids involved in these ones too. You might have some competition when it comes to eating them though.

Choc Mint Martini
A decadent twist on a classic cocktail recipe, this baby lets you drink yourself healthy rather than hungover come Valentine’s Day. The sticky chocolate syrup that makes this martini so delicious is great on ice cream, too!
