Sure, Valentine’s Day might be a “Hallmark Holiday” but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good excuse to tell someone you love them! There’s no need to buy pre-cut paper hearts or tape candy to a card, we believe the sweetest Valentine’s Day treats are the ones made by hand. Here are four adorable and delicious ways to say I <3 You!
- Homemade Pop Pastries
Ok fine, these are more like semi-homemade since they use pre-made pie crust, but it’s a super fun (and easy) recipe to put together with the kids, and hand out to friends or neighbors. They also make a really fun breakfast treat for the big day. Get the recipe here: https://www.oakhurstdairy.com/recipe/homemade-pop-pastries/

This has got to be the absolute best kind of re-gifting! Grab a chocolate box you already received and eat all the chocolate (yup, you read that right!).
