Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate > DIY Valentines Food Gifts

 Are you gearing up for Valentine's Day?  I know I am.  I had already made Valentine's goodies for the cute doggies in my life and I felt like maybe I needed to do a little something yummy for the cute humans too...

 I like to make food gifts for all my Sweethearts and package up everything in cute packages. I bought some Wilton Treat Sampler Boxes that have 4 removable trays in the larger box.  Just enough trays for Buckeyes, Pistachio Craisin Almond Bark, Fudge, and Glazed Pecans.  

I gave the boxes some love with another paint chip tag like the one I used on the Valentine's Day banner (thanks Sherwin Williams!) embellished with a book page pinwheel, glitzed up with Martha Stewart's new glitter line. Then I tied it all up with some fun fringe trim.

The pistachio craisin almond bark was one of those happy accidents -happy for my tummy anyway. I had some leftover melted almond bark from my adorable Valentine's fortune cookies, and letting chocolate go to waste is a crime in my book; so I spreaded it onto a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and sprinkled in some pistachios and craisins. After it had hardened and cooled, I broke up the bark into chunks and swooned dramatically after I had took a bite. Best 2 minute dessert ever!

Next, I had to make the S'mores because I wanted to use that cute saying, "Sending You S'more Love!"  

This one's just as easy - I made S'mores in my oven and then dipped them in chocolate and sprinkled them with teeny, tiny hearts.  After cooling, I packed them up in a clear treat bag, tied it with ric rac, and attached my tag.  The back of the tag says, "Sending You S'more Love."  You can never have too much love!
