Valentine's Day Treats!

Treats are an absolute MUST on Valentine's Day. Especially themed, cute and tasty treats. I've two ideas that I'm going to share with you guys - a drink and a snack. Both are SOO sweet and tasty, I couldn't get enough.

CINNAMON HEART MILKSHAKE

What you will need:

  • vanilla ice cream
  • yogurt
  • strawberry [or raspberry] jam
  • ground cinnamon
  • cinnamon hearts
  • whipped cream
  • blender
  • mug / cup of your choice
  • a spoon


*Optional:
  • milk
  • food colouring
  • ice
  • sprinkles
Measurements vary depending on taste and preference, but I will give my measurements as a guide for you to follow, but you can obviously change it to however much you like.

STEP ONE

Add 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream, 4 scoops of yogurt, 2 scoops of jam, and one tablespoon of cinnamon [I ended up adding more than that]. Blend it all up.

After I blended it I didn't want it as thick so I added a splash of milk and 2 ice cubes, as well as 4 drops of red food colouring - the cinnamon makes the milkshake turn a bit of a brown colour. These are optional though.

STEP TWO

Pour your delicious drink into your mug and top it all off with whipped cream, red sprinkles and a couple cinnamon hearts.



CUPID CRUNCH

This snack is so amazing. It combines sweet, salty, buttery and chocolaty into one delicious treat.

What you will need:

  • Popcorn
  • Honey Nut Chex
  • Pretzels
  • Smarties [I got the valentines day coloured ones]
  • a bowl


I only prepared enough for a single bowl [because it was 9:30pm and I didn't want to eat it all before bed], so I would just double or triple my measurements depending on how much you want.

This is super easy to make, all you need to do is take 2 handfuls of popcorn, chex and pretzels and 2 of the mini boxes of smarties. Mix it all up and TA-DA, you're done [the smarties fall to the bottom when you mix it, so be sure to move some back up if you want it to have colour on top]
