After a few days, we get sick of chocolate and it ends up sitting on our counter for a few weeks before we have to throw it away. Instead of forgetting about the chocolate, you can repurpose it to make some amazing dishes. Here are five uses for your Valentine’s Day chocolate.

Cookies

Probably the easiest way to use chocolate is in cookies. Just substitute the chocolate chips for chopped chocolate and your cookies will be even more delicious.

Brownies

Brownies are another super simple way to use up chocolate. Chop up your favorite chocolates and add them to the batter for a tasty addition to a classic.

Milkshakes
