Cute Homemade Valentine’s Day Candy Recipe

Who knew making cute homemade Valentine's Day candy was so easy? With just a few ingredients you can make custom treats your little ones will love!

Cute Homemade Valentine's Day Candy recipe. This easy DIY dessert is something kids can give out or even adults! The struggle is real y'all. The struggle to find the perfect everything for Valentine's Day – meals, cards, and gifts. I bought the cutest little printables on Etsy to use on homemade Valentine's Day candy bags but my printer freaked out after only printing a set for Cupcake.

After a brief freak out, I realized that kids don't care so much about the cards themselves…I mean they do,  but let's be real, the highlight is definitely the candy. With the sugar overload still lingering from Halloween and then Christmas, I've grown a little tired of the same old thing so this cute homemade Valentine's Day candy is a welcome change for both me and my girls!

For this recipe, a Wilton Fondant Roller, Knife, and Peanut Butter Cups Candy Mold was used. However, these are all optional items and you could easily use a water glass, paring knife, and silicone baking cups placed in a cupcake tin instead!
