So you\u2019ve watched plenty of Great British Bake Off, but you\u2019re not exactly a *star baker* yourself. Still, you want to do something special for your sweetheart! Here are three beginner-level dessert ideas that you can whip up with ease for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Level 1: Caramel Sauce<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Deceptively simple and downright delicious. Caramelize a cup of sugar by heating it over medium-high until it liquifies into an amber color. Then, slowly add six tablespoons of butter, allowing it all to melt fully before whisking in half a cup of heavy cream. Finally, add a teaspoon of salt. The trick here is to go slow and steady, and to mix constantly with a wooden spoon. If you avoid overcooking, you\u2019ll have a delicious sauce to add a homemade touch to your *ahem* definitely-not-store-bought brownies and ice cream! Pro tip: add a sprinkle of <\/span>Dangold Salted Caramel<\/span><\/a> for some extra flavor and flair!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Level 2: Cupcake Sampler<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Take a leaf out of Anne Byrn\u2019s <\/span>cookbook<\/span><\/a>. Byrn (AKA The Cake Mix Doctor) literally wrote the book on embracing cake mixes by adding your own creative twists! Honor her legacy by buying a box of plain vanilla store-bought cake mix. Mix batter according to the directions on the box, then separate into four bowls and add a different <\/span>Dangold dessert spice<\/span><\/a> to each bowl. After baking, you\u2019ll have a delicious sample platter of cupcakes to share with your boo!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Level 3: Churros!<\/b><\/p>\r\n

So you consider yourself a Level 3 Beginner Baker, eh? Here\u2019s a challenge then! Boil half a cup of water, half a cup of milk, a stick of softened butter, and a pinch of salt. Once they\u2019re blended, remove from heat and stir in a cup of flour. Reheat to make sure the batter is fully mixed, then add two eggs. You\u2019ve seen this next step on TV: transfer the batter to a 16\u201d piping bag and shape those churros! Fry in about an inch and a half of vegetable oil. For the finishing touch, roll churros in <\/span>Dangold Cinnamon Sugar<\/span><\/a>. Congratulations! You\u2019re now an intermediate-level baker, <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> you have some delicious churros to eat!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
