Over at MakingLifeBlissful.com, I found this gorgeous trifle made from strawberries, raspberries, Jell-O Pudding, cake, and whipped cream. It’s super easy and looks so pretty in a nice glass bowl. And the really cool thing is that she has the same basic recipe that can be modified for the 4th of July with blueberries added.

These super cute heart-shaped pie pops are delicious and if you happen to be eating a vegan or gluten-free diet, you will especially love these. The recipe is a little more on the complicated side compared to most of our list, but if you know your way around a kitchen, it should be fine. The end result is certainly worth the effort!

These delicious cookies by SallysBakingAddiction.com are made with strawberry cake mix! But once they bake, they don’t have a cake texture at all. They are definitely light and fluffy cookies and they are so delicious.
Valentine’s treats don’t have to be super complicated to have a big impact. Whether you are making them for your family or friends, your child’s classroom at school, or just for yourself, these treats will make your Valentine’s Day much sweeter.
