Thoughtful gifts, dinner reservations, a few good bottles of wine—no matter what your Valentine’s Day includes, there’s one thing we all know it would be incomplete without, and that’s dessert. Whether you're celebrating with a significant other, kids or your best gal pals, a sweet treat is a must. And while chocolate-covered cakes can be super fun and festive, sometimes you just don't need a whole cake. But cupcakes? They're always the right size! These Red Wine-Chocolate Cupcakes are as beautiful as they are delicious, and they're sure to make this Valentine's Day one you won't soon forget.

You don’t need a guide for this sweet box of chocolates — every treat is a cupcake! Simply bake mini chocolate cupcakes, then top with store-bought frosting and drizzle with melted chocolate. Now this is a heart-shaped box your special someone will want to receive!

When creamy cheesecake is surrounded by rich chocolate cake, it creates a cupcake that is so good on its own that it doesn't even need frosting. Plus, the absence of frosting makes these beauties extra easy to transport.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all chocolate. Giada keeps things simple with these 5-star cupcakes, using a white cake mix and an easy-to-make whipped cream topping.
