This Valentine's Day, you might have a date or a significant other that you can't wait to celebrate with. You also might be as single as the last cookie in the sleeve of Oreos you polished off the night before. Either way, I think we can all agree that boys fall short of fulfilling us girls' needs sometimes. I mean, I love my boyfriend -- but can he really fulfill me the way a double chocolate chip brownie can? No, he cannot. This is where food comes in, specifically delicious desserts that are to die for. So, whether you're single, taken, or "it's complicated," here are eight desserts that will always be there for you, even when boys aren't.
1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake.
Ah, cheesecake. This heavenly dream of a dessert is a cookie lover's wish come true. Those chocolate chips will ooze their way into your heart in a way that Brad never could. When you fail that big test and need a good cry, will Brad be there? No, he will not. But chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake will. Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake will never leave. Learn how to whip up this sweet creation here.
2. Tagalong Cookie Bars.
Embrace your inner Girl Scout and fall madly in love with these Tagalong Cookie Bars this Valentine's Day. The creamy peanut butter will fill the cracks in your heart which Johnny broke last Valentine's Day. Remember when he bailed on you last minute on date night? Tagalong Cookie Bars will never ditch you for a boys night.
3. Slutty Brownies.
We all had that one boy from high school who used to slut-shame all the girls who were just trying to have a good time. Let's call him Steve. What a jerk, that Steve. Have the last laugh and take a bite into this Slutty Brownie. Cookie dough, Oreos, and brownie mix -- oh, my! If being a slut tastes this good, I never want to be wholesome ever again!
4. Cinnamon Roll Desert Pizza.
This Valentine's Day, you may be tempted to order -- in pizza and binge-watch "Gossip Girl" on Netflix. Take that plan one step further, and make your very own Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza. Now, you can indulge in the most savory pizza ever without having to hear Rob whine about how you didn't get the kind of pizza he wants. With Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza, it will never be about him -- it will always be about you. Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza will always put your needs first.
5. Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars.
Your local Starbucks may not have their Pumpkin Spice Lattes in stock, but on date night you can still embrace your inner-basic-girl and have a slice (or four) of Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars. Never again will you have to listen to Nick mock your basic-ness. Go ahead -- put on some Uggs, snap a selfie of you and your Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, and post the pic with a cliche quote about love. Be basic and proud this Valentine's Day.
6. Raspberry Chocolate Cups.
Feeling guilty about shoveling all of these sweets in your mouth? Fear not, for these Raspberry Chocolate Cups have fruit in them, so they have to be good for you -- right?! Raspberry Chocolate Cups will give you butterflies in your tummy way better than Jason did. You'll never know true love until you meet Raspberry Chocolate Cups. Bye, Jason!
7. Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes
Watch your ex be green with envy as you take a bite of these Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes. Kevin will wish he never let you go when he sees you shoving these little beauties into your mouth. Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes make a much better boyfriend than Kevin anyway, right?
8. Cake Batter Blondies.
Things were so much easier when we were kids. We never had to worry about those stupid boys! Take a trip down memory lane and have some Cake Batter Blondies. Not only will you be curbing that sweet tooth of yours; you'll also remember how much better life was before Mike walked into your life. Cake Batter Blondies may not have been your first love, but they will be your last.
Hungry, yet? Maybe so, but doesn't that hunger feel so much better than waiting around for some guy to sweep you off your feet? I thought so. Happy Valentine's Day!
