5 Valentines Day Simple Treats

Valentines Day is right around the corner, but even though you might not have a valentine, you can still make these simple treats. 

1. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Chocolate Covered Strawberries are very simple to make, and a delicious treat. All you need is strawberries, melted milk/dark chocolate and (optional) white chocolate. Wash the strawberries and melt the chocolate so that it is able to be spread. Then cover the strawberry in the chocolate and let them cool. Then take the melted white chocolate and drizzle on top of the strawberry (Optional Step).

2. Heart Sugar Cookies

Make your favorite cookie dough recipe and cut the dough into heart shapes. After baking the cookies, spread red, pink, or white frosting on top and decorate with sprinkles. (This is a fun and creative activity to do with younger children.)

3. Cake Balls

Bake a cake (store bought cake mix or homemade) and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then crumble the cake into a big bowl. Soften frosting before mixing into bowl. After mixing well, scoop small balls of the mix onto a sheet and let cool. Decorate with red, white, and pink sprinkles and enjoy!

4. Brownie Bites

Bake homemade or store bought brownies. Use a small, heart shaped cookie cutter or knife and cut the brownies. (Optional) Put the brownie bites on sticks and decorate with frosting or other valentines decorations.

5. Chocolate Covered Pretzels

All you need for this simple treat is long pretzels, white chocolate, and other (optional) decorations. Lay the pretzels on wax paper. Melt the chocolate and dip the pretzel, but leave room at the bottom of the pretzel to hold it. Decorate with pink and red sprinkles and frosting.
