To Start off our Valentine's Day Special Recipes, we have The Triple Chocolate Brownies with Walnuts and Coconut Caramel. These super moist bars are sweetened with honey, studded with chocolate disks and layered with chocolate and gooey coconut caramel. Chocolate, an aphrodisiac food, contains theobromine and phenylethylamine, chemicals that emit the same pleasurable endorphins you get from having sex.
