Most people think of dark chocolate or milk chocolate for Valentine's Day. But why not give white chocolate a try? While it's not a true chocolate, since it doesn't contain any chocolate liquor, white chocolate is delicate and delicious. It melts in your mouth because its melting temperature is very close to body temperature. And it's wonderful in these easy recipes. Be careful when melting white chocolate, since it can seize and burn very easily. Melt at low temperature on the stovetop, or at 40 to 50% power in the microwave. Then make these recipes and enjoy!

This recipe is a cross between a brownie and a cake. It's very simple to make, but is beautiful, with a complex flavor.
2. White Chocolate Cashew Cookies

This indulgent cookie is really special. You can use your favorite nut, of course, but there's something about the buttery richness of cashews that complements the white chocolate to perfection.
3. White Chocolate Cupcakes

Finely chopped white chocolate folded into a cake mix batter adds great tenderness and flavor. I like to top these cupcakes with a dark chocolate frosting, but you can use any frosting you'd like.
4. Black and White Brownies

Brownies are topped with melted white chocolate, then a fudgy frosting in this fabulous recipe. The white chocolate is beautiful and is the perfect complement to this ultra rich brownies.
5. Black and White Brownie Pie

A brownie pie is incredibly all by itself. Add white chocolate chunks to the batter and drizzle white chocolate on top and you've taken this recipe to another level.
