Valentine’s Day Snacks (& Heart Shaped Food)

Lori Yates — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 11:00:00 +0000

Grab everything pink, red and white that you can find, and a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and put together these easy and fun Valentine’s Day snacks for your kids, friends, or sweetheart.

While you generally won’t find me going out to a fancy restaurant for a pre fixe dinner on Valentine’s Day, I still like to mark the occasion in some way at home.

Sometimes I’ll make a special Valentine’s Day dinner of lasagna cottage cheese or my crab-stuffed salmon recipe but other years, it’s just easy Valentine’s dessert shooters after a takeout pizza.

And sometimes I’ll just feel like snacking with fun charcuterie board ideas and following it up with some chocolate creme brulee.

You all know I love an epic snack board, as I’ve already shared everything from my wine and cheese board to a spooky Halloween charcuterie board to a fall-themed Thanksgiving charcuterie board.

Whether you’re hosting a Galentine’s party for the girls, or having a cozy night in with your sweetie, why not put together a Valentine’s Day snack platter of your own this year? I’ll explain it all, including the best way to make heart shaped food, below.

Cannoli Dip comes together in 5 minutes with just 5 ingredients. Super easy to halve the recipe for a small group, or double it for a large party.

A perfect cannoli is one of my favorite desserts, but it’s hard to find a perfect cannoli in my area.

Making them from scratch is pretty labor intensive and not something I usually have time for.

So, this Cannoli Dip has become a simple way for me to enjoy these flavors with minimal effort.

A chance to have fun with all kinds of cookies, crackers and fruits for dipping. Go to the store and let your imagination run wild.
Enjoy some of the classic flavors of cannoli without the full of making and filling the shells.
Very easy to adapt to whatever size you need. Halve the recipe to feed a small group of 2 or 3, or double or triple it for a big party.

Make the holiday extra sweet with this dreamy Valentine’s Day Dessert Board featuring ice cream, fruit, candies, chocolate and sprinkles!

I don’t deny it: I am unabashedly a homebody. If I have a choice between going out and cozying up at home with Valentine’s Day Snacks and a chocolate brownie pie, or homemade waffles and ice cream, well, the “out” thing better be really good.

And when it comes to Valentine’s Day, I can’t remember the last time Jeff and I even tried to go out. The truth is, we both enjoying cooking, and we’re pretty good at it.

So, the meal we make at home is almost sure to better than any V-Day prix fixe menu out there. And sometimes we’ll just pick one of my charcuterie ideas and have that for dinner.

But really, we just like being together, and most of our life’s special moments are spent at home.
