Valentine’s Day Treats

Make these fun and easy treats to share with friends. The kids can help with this. It really is simple! Plus, these are super cute! Just grab some mini candy canes from the past Holiday Season. I always buy extra just for this project. Mine came from the Dollar Store and have 30 mini candy canes for $1.00 in each package. We will be using two candy canes, to make one treat. Each box will make 15 heart shaped treats.
