I found this idea on Pinterest and couldn't resist making some of my own, they are just too cute!!

All you need are these 3 ingredients:

  • Mini Pretzels
  • Hershey Kisses (or Hugs)
  • M&M's (the Valentine's ones)
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Lay your pretzels out onto a baking sheet and top with a Hershey Kiss. Once oven is ready, put the pretzels into the oven for 4-5 minutes or until the Kisses are shiny and soft (really keep an eye on them, as you don't want them to melt!!!) . Remove from oven and top them with a M&M.

#2 - White Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Nothing screams Valentine's Day to me more than Chocolate Covered Strawberries!!! These White Chocolate Covered Valentine's ones are so pretty with sprinkles on them!!

Here is what you need to make some for your Valentine:

  • Strawberries
  • Candy Melts (i used White/Vanilla)
  • Sprinkles (these are optional, but i think it jazzed them up a bit!)
Wash/Clean your strawberries first, and be sure to dry them too! I like to keep the stems on them, as it is easier to dip them, but you can take them off if you like. Then pour some of your candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and microwave them until they are melted (about 40 seconds). Dip your strawberries into the melted candy melts and then into sprinkles (if using). Place covered strawberries on baking sheet lined with wax paper to harden.


#3 - Heart Shaped Brownies

These were a bit tricky to make for me because brownies are fragile, but they taste delicious!!

Here is what you will need:

  • Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
  • Toppings: Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, Sprinkles (all optional)
Once your brownies are cooled, cut out heart shapes using cookie cutter. Put heart shaped brownie on plate and add toppings!
