Easy Valentine’s Day Treats
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get back into the kitchen and start baking again. Maybe you took a little time off for the beginning of the year, but who doesn’t love making adorable Valentine’s Day Treats?
Since I love going all-out for holidays, I’ll deliver treats to friends, neighbors, my kid’s school and my Husband’s office. I let the kids help me in the kitchen and make it a bonding experience.
These Peanut Butter Balls are a twist on the traditional chocolate version. The white chocolate is the perfect background for red and pink Valentine sprinkles.
They are a delicious bite-sized treat for any peanut butter fan. You can wrap them in a cute heart-shaped container and give them out as a gift. It’ll be a great way to show someone you care.
