Valentine's Day cookies and candy
Heart-shaped whoopie pies
These heart-y whoopie pies go together like you and your Valentine and are a piece of cake to make! Made with a boxed cake mix, this easy whoopie pie recipe is piped into heart shapes, making it pitter-patter perfect for sharing with your sweeties.
Valentine crunch snack mix
Need an easy Valentine’s Day party treat? We’ve got you covered with this sweet and simple Valentine snack mix. This heart-y treat can be served by the bowlful—or packaged individually for a sweet classroom treat.
Chocolate-dipped kissy spoons
Make ’em swoon with these simple chocolate-dipped spoons made for stirring in some sweetness. Milk chocolate and white chocolate chips are melted and then scooped into spoons to create perfect portions of chocolate-coated bliss made for swirling in coffee or hot cocoa.
Cupid's arrow sugar cookies
Looking for a no-bake Valentine’s Day treat? These cookies hit the mark! Store-bought sugar cookies get party-ready with fondant and paper Cupid’s arrow toppers.
Mini Candy Bar Valentine Wrappers
Here’s a cute way to turn store-bought mini candy bars into unique sweet treats. Just print out this template, cut out the little wrappers and share in cellophane bags or a candy dish. (Thanks to our friends at Think.Make.Share for the idea…and the template.)
Valentine's Day cupcakes
This trio of Valentine’s Day cupcakes will give you heart-eyes. They’re adorable, easy to make, and don’t require super-fancy materials (or skills). Bake up some for your favorite kiddos, or pick one up at a bakery and package it for your sweetie.
Cupid’s Cupcakes
Cupid hits his mark in this fabulous Valentine's Day cupcake complete with an arrow made from a wooden skewer and gummy candies. Start with a bakery-bought cupcake or make your own.
Love on Display Valentine Cupcake
Present the object of your affection with…an object of your affection. A jar is the perfect container for a cupcake dressed in its Valentine’s Day best (not to mention a safe way to deliver your message).
Valentine’s Day Cupcake Sundaes
Baking cupcakes in ice cream cones and decorating them like sundaes gives them a retro diner twist. And it gives you an excuse to add a unique, creative touch to each one.
Healthy Valentine's Day treat
Need something other than candy and chocolate for a healthy Valentine’s Day treat? Look no further than these darling snacks.
Lovebugs on a log
Give your little lovebugs something to smile about—an adorable, bite-size treat. This cute stuffed celery appetizer is a fun—and stealthily healthy—alternative to sweet Valentine’s Day party treats that kids are sure to love.
Easy Valentine's Day drink
Wash down all these lovely treats with a festive Valentine’s Day drink.
My fizzy Valentine
Toast your Valentine with the world’s easiest—and cutest—soft drink! Just cut strawberries in half, and then cut a V-shaped notch in the top of each half to create a heart shape. Place one strawberry heart in each well of an ice-cube tray, add clear soda until the strawberries are covered, and freeze. They’re perfect for adding a splash of fizzy fun to any drink or party punch bowl.
