I have always loved Valentine’s Day. But this year I may have gone a little overboard with the Valentine’s Day treats. And it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet! I’m still picking up some custom cookies & a cookie decorating kit from my fave local pastry chef tomorrow! Ha! Help! Anyways, I thought I would share a few of the treats I’ve made this year.

Starting with this breakable candy heart! I sent my hubby a link for the one I wanted for Valentine’s Day and when he told me it was sold out, I did not give up. Instead, I found the mold which came with the little wooden hammer and made it myself! It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be to make it. My only tip would be to not make the chocolate (or candy melts) as thick as I did. That sucker was hard to break! You can see a video of me breaking it on my Instagram. I filled it with chocolate-covered strawberries. But you can fill it with whatever your heart desires. I’m going to be making them for every special occasion now!

Next up is my Valentine’s Day sweet treat charcuterie board. Every time I went to the store, I would pick up another heart shaped or red/pink treat to add to it. I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. I am also thinking I may be making a charcuterie board going forward for every occasion as well.

We also made Valentine’s Day rice krispie treat pops (which I also shared here) and chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies. This has definitely been the year of dipping anything and everything in chocolate. That may have something to do with me gaining ten lbs in 2020. But I digress…

Lastly, I bought yet another DASH mini waffle maker. This time I bought the heart-shaped mini to add to my regular mini & snowflake waffle makers. But the real treat here was the heart-shaped bacon! I used this recipe/tutorial. I always buy center-cut bacon though so I did not need to cut mine down. In fact, they were the perfect length. And the toothpick trick kept them in place. Of course, don’t forget to cut your strawberries into hearts too.

This one isn’t food-related, but you can’t NOT have a special Valentine’s Day mani! To be honest, this was actually one of my hardest mani’s to date. I used a tiny nail art brush for the tips because I didn’t have any french manicure stickers. Hence, they don’t look as nice as I had hoped. But, let’s be honest…I’m not going anywhere anyway! Ha!

Is it just me or are you baking like crazy too? Did you make any Valentine’s Day treats?
