Valentine’s day is less than a month away so I’m devoting Thursdays as Sweet Treat days!
I will have several recipes for Valentine’s treats every Thursday until Valentine’s Day…so there will be plenty of opportunity for you to make some of these sweet treats before the BIG day!
Make them and give them to family and other loved one’s for the special day!
I will have some free printables every Tuesday and they will include printable goodie tags to use for these sweet treats-so make sure to check back on the blog Tuesdays!
I will be posting at least one healthy treat every week as well-for those of you who are diabetic or those of you trying to limit the sweets for this New Year-like myself! Scroll down to the bottom of the post for 2 recipes this week!!
So sit back, relax, and try not to drool to much!

First up this week-
This recipe is from Deb over at Smitten Kitchen!
I’ve used Deb’s recipe for these awesome homemade marshmallows before and I loved how they turned out!

This time I’m going to experiment with food color and sprinkles to make them extra special!
I found a blog that had used food coloring markers to make subway art on the marshmallows-so I think I’ll try that out as well. You can see that blog post here if you are interested! See photo below!

I have nobody to blame but myself for looking at these recipes. The gummy orange candies would be my favorite were I able to eat them. Actually, for Christmas, a friend gave me a box of yummy gummy candies using Splenda that were delicious. They didn’t last long. Thanks for posting.
