How to Make a Valentine’s Day Treat Box

Plan the palette: Choose two or three colors to guide treats and packaging.
Line the box: Add tissue and a paper base to protect the bottom.
Add anchors: Place heavier items at corners to keep things stable.
Create tiers: Use cupcake liners and small boxes to add height.
Place feature pieces: Set cookies or bark where they’ll be seen first.
Fill gaps: Tuck marshmallows or wrapped candies into open spaces.
Balance textures: Alternate chewy, crunchy and creamy for interest.
Finish cleanly: Add ribbon and a tag, then check edges for crumbs.

Heart Shaped Chocolate Valentine Lollipop Treats

The lollipops are made with ingredients like white chocolate, almond bark and melting candies. If you already have a chocolate pop mold you will find these a breeze to prepare. In fact, even if you’ve never tried making your own popsicles or lollipops before you will find these very easy. And of course once you know how to make them, you’ll want to try all kinds of new varieties. I love the fact you can get creative with these homemade sweets, choosing from any kind of chocolate and melting candies as well as any colours and designs. If you like to be creative in the kitchen, I’d definitely recommend adding these cute lollipops to your Valentine’s Day homemade treat box.

Strawberry Cream Rice Krispies

As for the Rice Krispie treats, these are made with puffed rice cereal as well as marshmallows and strawberries, as well as some white chocolate bark (you’ll have some of that left from the Valentine lollipops!) Store-bought Rice Krispie treats are good but the homemade version is even better and you can enjoy the fresh flavour of your efforts. I love the marshmallows in these – they’re perfectly sweet without being overly sweet.

Valentine S’mores Brownie Bite Truffles

Finally you have the truffles in there and those are made with brownies. Chocolate truffles can be expensive and the store-bought ones aren’t always that great, so I’d absolutely recommend making these. They’re just so easy!

Substitutions and Variations

Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free cookies, brownies and pretzels. Keep them in separate liners to avoid cross-contact.
Vegan swap: Choose dark chocolate without dairy, fruit jellies and vegan marshmallows.
Nut-free path: Focus on chocolates without nuts, gummies and marshmallows.
Color story: Go classic red and pink or try gold and blush for a chic vibe.

How to Store a Homemade Treat Box

Store: Keep sealed at cool room temperature away from heat and sunlight. Best enjoyed within 3 days while the cookies are still fresh.
Freeze: Don’t freeze Valentine treat boxes.
