“All You Need is Love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ~ Charles Schulz

I’m with Mr. Schulz on this one. I guess that’s why the most iconic symbol for Valentine’s Day is a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

But as much as I love a good chocolate treat, there’s so much better out there than that box of cellophane wrapped mystery chocolates.

Which is why I went in search of the BEST Valentine’s Day treats to make with my kids this year. And, as it turns out, there are a ton to choose from.

Now I’m not sure which to make…the adorable fudge, the heart-shaped bark, cookie dough hearts…

Is your mouth watering just thinking of those, too?

Whether you’re looking for a cutesy pink treat to share at the class party, or a romantic layered dessert for two, these Valentine’s Day treats are the perfect way to celebrate.

Don’t Forget these Essentials

Sure, you could try to make all those hearts by hand…but who has time for that? It doesn’t matter if you’re making cookies candies, brownies, or any other heart-shaped Valentine’s Day treats, you’re going to need the right tools.

These four products are a great place to start:

  • There are tons to choose from, but the double-sided Heart shaped cookie cutters are great for both straight and fluted edges.
  • Or, you can try Silicone molds shaped like hearts or
  • Heart shaped baking pans are always fun, and
  • Valentine’s Day sprinkles are a necessity!
