If you’ve got a lot of Valentine’s Day chocolate and you can’t possibly eat any more of it, here are some ideas for what you can do with it. Turn that chocolate into amazing desserts that are just perfect for late winter.

Cookies

You can use your favorite cookie recipe and add bits of chocolate into the dough so you’ll end up with delicious chocolate-chip cookies.

Popcorn

Chocolate popcorn can be amazing and it’s so easy to make. You can simply make it in the microwave, and if you want even more flavor, add some nuts on top of it.
