Heart-shaped sandwiches
What you need
- heart-shaped cookie cutters in two sizes (large and small)
- bread
- sandwich filling – I used ham and cheese
Instructions
Cut each slice of bread with the large cookie cutter. On one slice (per sandwich) cut out a smaller heart in the center. Add your favorite sandwich filling and assemble. This works great with other fillings such as Nutella too.
Valentine’s Day trail mix
What you need
- Popcorn or kettlecorn
- Rice Chex
- Dried cherries or cranberries
- Marshmallows – the flat ‘stacker mallows’ work best for this
Instructions
Cut the stacker mallows into a heart using a small heart-shaped fondant or cookie cutter.
Combine all ingredients in a container and gently mix.
Fun Valentine’s Day food for kids
- Elli: Quark (red velvet flavor): It looks like yogurt but is actually cheese. Top with Valentine’s Day-themed sprinkles.
- Strawberries: To make heart-shaped strawberries trim the top off the strawberry, turn the strawberry so that the narrowest part at the bottom is facing you. Cut a ‘v’ shaped into the top of the strawberry, and then cut the strawberry into thin slices.
- Fruit Roll-Ups: Cut into thin strips and roll.
