30 Valentine's Day Snack Ideas for a Salty-Sweet, Heart-Shaped Treat

While no one would blame you if you took a handful (or two) of the Sweethearts you put out for Valentine's Day as a quick snack, it can be just as sweet to nibble on savory after-school snacks (who says heart-shaped mini pizzas can't be for adults, too?) or homemade Valentine's Day cookies as we approach February 14. The following Valentine's Day snacks are great for all occasions, whether you're planning a romantic dinner with your partner and are in need of an easy cupcake recipe for dessert, or you're looking for some healthier Valentine's treats to have on hand (next to the Valentine's candy, of course).

The majority of these Valentine's Day recipes can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike, but note that the stout whoopie pies should only be served to party guests 21 years and older — perhaps with a Valentine's Day cocktail, too. These Valentine's snacks range in flavor from delicious desserts and chocolate-covered fruit to cheesy dips and fun takes on pizza. There is definitely no shortage of ideas, and you can easily double or triple the batch if you're hosting a Galentine's Day party or want to have leftovers to enjoy even after the holiday. After all, red velvet anything sounds pretty great any time of the year.
