Need a last-minute Valentine's Day gift? These easy desserts can be thrown together in a heartbeat.

Raspberry Heart Truffles
Finally, a Valentine’s Day chocolate that is completely guilt-free. Made of only raspberries and dark chocolate, you know these raspberry truffles would make the perfect addition to your homemade chocolate box. Make sure to snag a heart-shaped mold before crafting up these truffles. Or you can roll out 2 tablespoons of the chocolate-raspberry mixture into balls for a classic truffle shape.
