Sweet Treats for Valentine's Day

By Kamlyn Jurgensen February 5, 2016
I love Valentine's Day! Cards, candy, chocolate (is that different from candy?), flowers, and the celebration of love. This year, I decided I was going to show my family how much I love them with a few treats. Good thing for me, they were easy treats to whip up. 

Fruit salad (Yummy, yummy. Who can say fruit salad and not sing "yummy, yummy"?) is something I just don't make the time to prepare for my family normally, so having a big bowl of luscious berries, grapes and kiwi is the perfect way for me to say I love you! 

Check out this grape I found while cutting the fruit. Now, doesn't that just say LOVE?! 

The other treat is so easy and only takes minutes to make. It's also sweet and salty, one of my favorite combinations. 

The Peanut M&M’S® HERSHEY'S Hug Treat
  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. On a cookie sheet, take square pretzels and top each one with either a HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolate or a HERSHEY'S HUGS Brand Candy.
  3. Pop in the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes until the chocolate is starting to melt. 
  4. Take out of oven and top with a peanut M&M’S®.
  5. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate has firmed up. 
Now, they're ready to eat. Enjoy!
