As Valentine’s Day approaches, many festive individuals scour the internet for Valentine’s Day treats. Themed desserts are appealing to fun singles and adventurous couples alike. The benefit of cooking and baking on a holiday like Valentine’s Day is that there is lots of room for creativity and flexibility to suit even the ficklest of people.

For those who prefer saltier and more savory treats, chocolate-covered pretzels may be their new favorite dessert. Chocolate-covered pretzels may easily be purchased at the nearest grocery store but may also be easily made at home with pretzels, any chocolate desired by the consumer, and perhaps Valentine’s Day sprinkles for fun. Similarly, a Valentine’s Day snack mix can be achieved by a mixture of Chex, pretzels, popcorn, and colored marshmallows and candies of the user’s choice.

Anyone with a sweet tooth is likely to enjoy Valentine’s Day treats more than any other individual. For something simple, some may enjoy heart-shaped Rice Krispies Treats. To make them more festive, they can be drizzled in white chocolate or covered in pink frosting. Brownies are also another popular dessert and can be made for the special day by cutting them into hearts or using a cut out to shape them. Make them more exciting with colored frosting or sprinkles.
