Valentine’s Day Snack Ideas
We often think of candy when it comes to Valentine's Day but there are lots of ways to celebrate with fun, special foods.
- Use heart shapes! Cookie cutters or a steady knife can create heart-shaped toast, pancakes or English muffins. Top with peanut butter and red jam or jelly.
- Yogurt parfait with yogurt, a red fruit (raspberries, watermelon, red apples, etc.) sprinkled with granola or your favorite cereal.
- Heart-shaped pizza-shape pizza dough or bread dough into a heart. Spread with your favorite tomato pizza sauce. Add your choice of toppings.
Try this quick, healthy snack at home or for your child's Valentine's Day party. The heart-shaped cereal makes it cute and fun to munch! Feel free to change ingredients to whatever you have on hand.
