3 Valentine's Day Desserts

Being a blogger, naturally I have to exploit the fact that Valentine's Day is right around the corner with a themed post. Originally I had intended on creating a makeup tutorial, but having seen how many are springing up, I opted to do something I've never done before, nor intended on doing for a while- make a baking video. Filming a baking video for one recipe is so difficult, let alone for three; especially when you only have yourself to rely on. That being said, apologies that this one isn't spectacular. I'll work towards improving for future videos!

Even so I did really want to share these recipes with you because they are so delicious and sweet. And they each include Oreos!! Hopefully this will inspire you to get into the kitchen and bake! :)

1. Separate one cookie from a whole Oreo.

2. Press the stick into the center creme.

3. Lock it in with a bit of melted chocolate and place the cookie back on.

4. Let harden as you melt the white chocolate down.

5. Dip one side of the cookie into the chocolate.

6. Put some sanding sugar on it.
