Valentines Day №5 | Delicious & Healthy Desserts

I always want to end a great meal with something sweet but without the guilt and if you're like me, the million questions to the kitchen about the ingredient list. Who's with me? Click through for our 15 favorite healthy Valentine's sweets (and yes, we're using the term"healthy" somewhat loosely here).
