Strawberry pie pops

Sweetheart fruit salad
Need a break from processed sugar? We gotcha. Lean into the healthier side of Valentine’s Day cravings by making Butter with a Side of Bread’s sweetheart fruit salad. Just think of it as using nature’s candy: watermelon, apples, kiwis, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cantaloupe and mandarin oranges.

What’s black and white and red all over? Why, Confessions of a Cookbook Queen’s heart-shaped cookies, of course. Feel free to get carried away with the piping bag if you want to create additional designs or spell out sweet nothings atop these impossible-to-stop-snacking-on treats.
Heart-shaped breadsticks
Adding a romantic touch to your Valentine’s Day dinner doesn’t have to be hard. Case in point? The shape of these garlic breadsticks from Dessert Now, Dinner Later hint at matters of the heart — and the only extra step they require is a bit of creative twisting.

In other words, you can feel slightly better about your Valentine’s Day cookie binge.
