5 Dessert Trucks For The Sweetest Valentine’s Day

What is Valentine’s Day to you? A commercial holiday? A day for celebrating with your female pals, therefore making it Galentine’s Day? Or is it a meaningful celebration of love and relationships? Whatever your view, there’s no ignoring February 14th and the fact that it’s fast approaching. Sit down dinners can be stuffy, and if you’re a last minute planner like I am, restaurants are often full or overbooked.

Nevertheless we all have to eat, and a delicious dessert is one sure way to spice up the end of the night or drown your sorrows, depending on where you fall on Cupid’s spectrum. Take a look at some of our favorite dessert trucks that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and get you in the mood for loving on Valentine’s Day.
