Nutter Butter Cookie Hearts

If you want a realtreat for a peanut butter lover, these Nutter Butter Cookie Hearts are perfect.

They’re not bake, so all you’re really doing is cutting the cookie, microwaving the almond bark, and decorating the store-bought cookies to look like an edible chocolate heart.

2 Ingredient Valentine’s Day Fudge

This Valentine’s Day Fudge is so incredibly easy because you only have two main ingredients in it: sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.

Now, of course, you’re gonna need to add a little bit more for decorating (food coloring and festive sprinkles), but the fudge itself is made from those two simple ingredients.

Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies are such a classic recipe. They’re basically sugar cookies with filling. The most classic version has strawberry jam as the filling, which instantly gives it a Valentine’s Day vibe.

Most recipes have a circle thumbprint well in the center, but you could actually make a heart shape in the middle of the cookie if you wanted to give it a little more pizazz.

Candy Cane Fudge

If you’re looking for a pink recipe, this Candy Cane Fudge is it. It’s perfectly colored for Valentine’s Day. And a perfect way to use up those leftover candy canes that are still hanging around from Christmas.

You only need three basic ingredients to make this fudge, which makes it a super easy recipe.

Candy Cane Chocolate Hearts

If you still have mini candy canes left from Christmas, you can turn a pair of them (and some white candy melts) into these Candy Cane Chocolate Hearts.

Instead of candy melts, you could use vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips, if you prefer the taste of those.

Elephant Ear Cookies (Palmiers Cookies)

Palmiers Cookies, also known as Elephant Ears, are the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day because the puff pastry is shaped in a way that makes these (unintentionally) heart-shaped cookies.

They’re a cinnamon and sugar flavored flaky cookie that’s going to impress every family member who tries it.

Valentine’s Day Graham Cracker Chocolate Bark

The closest this Valentine’s Day graham cracker bark comes to “cooking” is microwaving the white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark for the coating.

The rest of the recipe is just decorating with icing, Valentine’s sprinkles, and conversation hearts.

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Pretzels

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day treat that’s easy to make in bulk and package for your Valentine, these Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Pretzels are it.

The recipe gives you two ways to decorate your chocolate covered pretzels, with sprinkles or with a red candy melt drizzle. You could make some of each and package them that way.

Thumbprint Cookies With Icing

If you’re like Thumbprint Cookies, but you’re not a fan of jam, you can fill them with icing instead.

In this Thumbprint Cookies With Icing version, cream cheese frosting is colored with red food coloring to make these the perfect Valentine’s Day cookie.

Valentine’s Day Chocolate Popcorn

Before sitting down to watch aValentine’s Day movieas a family, you should make this Valentine’s Day Chocolate Popcorn.

It’s so much fun drizzling the chocolate over the popcorn, shaking the sprinkles, and dropping the candy pieces on top.

Chocolate Strawberry Dessert Kabobs

Chocolate and strawberries are synonymous with Valentine’s Day, so of course, our Chocolate Strawberry Dessert Kabobs had to make this list of the best Valentine’s Day desserts.

This is such an easy dessert idea because you’re just stringing store-bought doughnuts, marshmallows, and fresh strawberries onto a skewer, then drizzling them with melted chocolate. It’s so simple, it’s not even really a recipe. But it’s delicious dessert and one you definitely should make this year.

Red Velvet Pound Cake Hearts

Store-bought red velvet cake is cut into mini heart-shaped cakes with a cookie cutter and skewered with mini marshmallows on each side to make these adorable Red Velvet Pound Cake Hearts. These bite-sized treats come together in mere minutes.

Of course, you can make your own cake, either from scratch or cake mix, if you want. And you can make them your favorite flavors too. It doesn’t have to be red velvet. That just makes more sense because it’s red. And store-bought cake makes this a little easier. But you do whatever you want.
