I'm not personally big on fancy, over the top Valentine's Day dinners, date or expensive gifts to make the occasion - no matter how sweet and thoughtful.
Growing up the day was a day where our mom bought us some sentimental little gift and surprised us with a sweet treat or candy of some kind.
That's now my favorite way to celebrate Valentine's Day! I truly just love making a fun dessert recipe and showing my family a little love.
These sweet Valentines Day treats are absolutely perfect for your sweetheart - whether that's your partner, your kiddos or your best friend.
