Here's something different for a fun Valentine treat :-)
Place a chocolate kiss in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth or paper towel until ready to use.)
Moisten all four corner edges of the wonton wrappers with water; pinch corners together over candy kiss and press to seal. Repeat. In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees F.
Fry wontons on their sides for about two to three minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels and dust with sugar.

My family has made these cookies for many years. every time I get out the faded recipe card, I think of all the memories on Valentine's days in the past both in making the cookies and the smiles that are always there when I serve or give them away.
These sweet little treats would be a perfect gift for someone you love on Valentine's day. They are also a simple cookie that your kids can help make for a classroom party.
This flavorful punch is easy to put together and is sure to be enjoyed by the one you love this Valentine's Day.
A Valentine's Day dessert. My Mom used to make this for for my Dad and she would prepare it in the Angel Food cake ring. She wrapped the pan's outside in foil to decorate it, and placed a bud vase, with a rose in it, in the middle.
This yummy Valentine's Day salad is easy to make. It doesn't require many ingredients either.
Many of us are wondering what we can do to save some money this Valentine's Day and still say "I love you" to the wonderful people in our lives. So I scoured my mom's and aunt's and cousin's database for some fun and unusual chocolates for Valentine's Day just for you.
You CAN have your cake and eat it too this Valentine's Day! This recipe has only 6.2 g fat and 234 calories per serving.
Normally, I recommend avoiding sugar as much as possible - but once in a while (like on Valentines Day) it's okay. :)
This flavorful, bubbly punch is easy to make and would be a great drink to serve for a Valentine's Day party.

My Sister in Law used to make my brother a giant heart shaped chocolate chip cookie each year for Valentine's Day. I don't know if she still does or not.
I would try Allrecipes.com since they have holiday themed recipes including Valentines day. Also kraftfoods.com has several and verybestbaking.com does too.
A great recipe that is so easy.
1# pkg chocolate sandwich cookies
1/2 gallon ice cream (I like pepermint stick for this)
12 oz whipped topping, thawed
Outrageous Chocolate Cookies
Makes 2 dozen; Prep time: 20 minutes; Total time: 45 minutes
Do not bake the cookies to a crisp; they are meant to be soft and chewy. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for two to three days.
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Heat chopped chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until almost melted; do not overheat. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; beat in melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
3. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 to 3 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are shiny and crackly yet soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheets 10 minutes; with a thin metal spatula, transfer to racks to cool completely.
I'd probably go with "Angels on Horseback". Basically, it is oysters wrapped with half a slice of bacon and broiled until the bacon is done, but there are a number of seasoning variations. The aforementioned sites should have some interesting recipes, but if you don't find them there just google "Angels on Horseback" and you'll find a mess of them.

What kind of chocolate do you use in the giant kisses made with a funnel?

I USED JUST REGULAR BAGS OF NESTLE SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS IN MINE
Regular cho-chips. you can also add nuts, rice crispies, coconut, etc. put a mini marshmellow in the funnel first, keeps the chocolate from dripping out.
I use Wilton Chocolate Melts sold at Michael's craft stores. It's very smooth and creamy chocolate. Also, they have peanut butter melts that are delicious!
Check out these photos.
I baked a scratch (no cake mixes) devil's food cake for our senior citizen luncheon. It's not the most beautiful decorated cake, but I think you get the idea.
