Valentine’s Day is the day where you can eat as much chocolate and sweets as you want and not feel bad about it! At least, that’s how I feel about the holiday. To celebrate, I make homemade Valentine’s Day treats for my kids and neighbors. It’s a fun tradition I like to do every year. If you too like to indulge in the sweeter things on February 14th, here are some wonderfully festive AND delicious treats that you can make.
