My Valentine Treats – No Bake
I was soooo not in the mood to make more Valentine Treats for my daughter to take to school on Tuesday. I’ve been taking the treats that I have been posting here and delivering them to her class for after school snacks.
God forbid they stay in the house…
I digress.
She has been enjoying Valentine treats for the past two weeks and I feel so pressured to come up with the most fantastic party treats to take in. I don’t work well under pressure!
So, when a friend asked me to make some cake pops for her son to take to class, I figured I would jump on that train and make some for my daughter.
So I baked a cake and got to work. For the season, I had to go with red and white and throw in A LOT of hearts and sprinkles. I used a heart paper punch and the Wilton Sugar sheets to make the hearts.
I also wanted to add some variety, so I made a handful of chocolate covered pops and decorated them with pink, blue, and orange jewel tone sprinkles.
I love the contrast!
The Wilton Sugar Sheets are very easy to work with. I buy a paper punch and reserve it for food use only.
I also found some Strawberry Marshmallows that were perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Come on! They are PINK! How perfect is that??
And, because some people prefer sweet and salty, I made a few candy covered pretzel sticks.
These treats are all so easy to make. You just need the supplies to get going.
How cute are these? I love having a few easy options to make.
If you would like to learn more about making cake pops, watch my YouTube videos, and see this entry.
Have a Great Valentine’s Day!
