On Valentine’s Day we express our appreciation for those closest to us. When it comes to showing it, there are many methods to choose from. You could write a song or pick up a card, surprise them with a gift or fresh flowers from your neighborhood’s first choice – all wonderful ways of saying “I care about you!”
But one expression stands true – the best way to the heart is through the stomach! Give any of these great gift ideas a try this year for your Valentine!

Nothing is better than no-bake recipes! Cake pops are easy to make, simple to dress up and only require a few ingredients and accessories to complete!

The Basic How-To?
- Mix your ingredients until a PlayDoh consistency.

- Prepare your coating mixture – usually meltable candy or chips.
