Recipe Valentines Day
Do you have a Valentine party to go to within the next week? Or maybe you just want to make a special Valentine’s Day treat for your child? Below are six inexpensive Valentine’s Day Treats to make. Cupid’s Crunch is a huge favorite and we like to change it up for each holiday, it’s also perfect for goodie bags. We’ll also be making Valentine Rice Krispie Treats tomorrow for our family to enjoy with heart shaped cookie cutters. This time I plan to have the boys help me, and let them each decorate their own with a variety of pink and red sprinkles.
