1. Valentine Rice Krispie Treats.
Rice Krispie treats are always a nice treat with that snap, crackle, and pop. They are also fun to have as heart-shaped treats, and you can top them in chocolate and sprinkle. The downside to baking it is it is pretty messy, and it can take a bit to get the right consistency.

2. Heart Cupcakes
This is a fun way to have a normal sweet treat. All you have to do is add a weight or roll aluminum foil into a ball. You then put the ball on the outside of the cupcake, making the heart shape. The best part is that the cupcakes can be any flavor you like. The icing can be whatever you want, too, though red and pink would probably be the best.

3. Chocolate-Covered Marshmallows
Chocolate-covered delights are a common Valentine’s treat. This is an easy treat to make as you just need to melt the chocolate and dip the marshmallow in. You could use any type of chocolate. If you want to make it look more like a Valentine’s treat, you can use white chocolate and add food coloring to make it red or pink. You can also use Valentine’s sprinkles.

4. Peanut Butter Valentine’s Cookies.
These do contain peanut butter, so keep away from those who are allergic, though you can also use sunflower butter. These are kinda like a kiss cookie. They do take about 1 hour and 45 minutes, but they are worth the wait. They can also keep a while. You will need to get some chocolate heart candies to stick on top while the cookies are still hot.
