Show some love this Valentine’s Day by getting the little ones in the kitchen with you! Baking and candy-making are great ways to make some memories and spread the love. After you’ve had your fill, drop off the extras to a neighbor or friend!
Chocolate-covered strawberries
A classic for a reason! This simple yet elegant treat will make you feel like a million bucks. Chocolate strawberries are easy to make and easy to share. Get some boxes to package them up in and have the little ones decorate them with markers and paper hearts! Melted chocolate can be messy; put wax paper down on any and all surfaces to make clean-up a breeze.
This pink popcorn mix is sweet, salty and so delicious! This would be the perfect treat to munch on during a romantic movie (rom-com for the adults, Disney movie for the kids). The best part? This popcorn mix is totally customizable. Leave out any indgredient you’re not fond of, or add in different candies, snacks, or sprinkles for something fun and new.
Why settle for a bouquet of flowers when you can get a bouquet of delicious marshmallow pops? These sweet treats look beautiful but couldn’t be simpler to put together. Have the littler kids push the sticks into the marshmallows. Bigger kids can help dip the marshmallows in the chocolate. Wrap them together in a cellophane bag with a big bow, and you’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day gift!
Speaking of food on sticks, our list wouldn’t be complete without these nutritious and delicious fruit kabobs! We know Valentine’s Day can be a sugar-packed day, so offering a snack of fibrous and vitamin-packed fruit and yogurt is a good way to add some balance to your kids’ diet. They will love the fun heart shapes and have a blast dipping them in the yogurt.
No one will be able to resist these soft and sweet strawberry cookies! Using a strawberry cake mix as the base of this recipe makes these a cinch to pull off. Put the little ones to work stirring or scooping cookie dough. Feeling extra festive? Add in some pink and red sprinkles to take it to the next level!
