I love sweet treats, but I don’t waste time or calories & fat grams on subpar desserts. That said, here is my list of “must make” recipes for homemade Valentine goodness.
- Martha Stewart’s Valentine Cookies are sugar cookies cut into heart shapes, and made into sandwiches filled with jam. Delicious!
- Go with easy, but yummy and make the Valentine Marshmallow Pops from A Mom’s Take (pictured above). These are fun to make, and easy enough for kids to make, with supervision.
- Impress your loved ones with a chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream that looks like a professional iced it, with expert tutorial by Handle the Heat.
- Your chocoholic sweetheart will savor every nibble of Sally’s Baking Addiction’s Chocolate Sugar Cookies. Instead of plain sugar cookies, crank it up a notch with chocolate! Sally gives you tons of tips, and a choice of icing to make for these cookies.

Mi hijo, la luz de mis ojos. He’s my Valentine.
