Creative ways to use your Sweetheart Candies

Sweetheart candies are the go-to traditional Valentine’s Day candy, ranking right behind chocolate. As yummy and sweet as these little heart-shaped treats are, sometimes people are stuck with dozens of Sweetheart boxes they don’t know what to do with.

This Valentines Day, try using one of these creative recipes or ideas with this year’s Sweetheart stash.

First on the list are Conversation Heart Rice Krispies. These treats make perfect Valentine giveaways and are sure to curb any sweet tooth. Try customizing each Krispy Treat for whomever you plan on sharing them with.

Sweetheart sprinkled fudge makes another great Valentine‘s Day gift. Cut the fudge into squares and put each in a Valentine-themed cupcake liner to make it look even more special.

Even though the conversation heart cheesecakes don’t actually use Sweethearts in their recipe, they are too charming not to mention. These cakes might seem a little difficult to pull off but Hungry Happening’s recipe makes it a piece of cake.

For those without a sweet tooth or simply just too many Sweethearts to eat, use them to make your own homemade Valentine letter this year so that your admirer can enjoy their notes and eat it too.
