Valentine's Things We Love

Love and chocolate go hand-in-hand

Zoet is the Dutch word for "sweet," and Zoet premium chocolate is luxurious, indulgent and satisfying. It's the perfect Valentine's Day treat for your sweetheart! Enjoy it on its own, or use it to make a decadent dessert.

When you like someone berry much...

Say Happy Valentine's with chocolate-covered strawberries. And not just any chocolate. Ghirardelli. And not just any covering. Hand-dipped. Look for the 6-count or 12-count in the produce section. Otherwise, stock up on berries and chocolate and start dipping.

Rosé all day

Raise a toast on Cupid's day with a glass of rosé! Rosé wine is made from red grapes, but it has a light pink color due to less time fermenting with the grape skins than red wine. You can use rosé to make a delicious dessert for your sweetheart, or a fancy cocktail that you'll want to sip on all night.

Breakfast In Bed

Start your Valentine's Day on a romantic note with a heartfelt breakfast.

The Sweetest Snacks

Send your kiddo off to school with the sweetest snacks in their lunchbox.

Create this cute, little creature with 4-oz. strawberry- or raspberry-flavored That’s Smart! apple sauce cups. Turn each cup upside down and attach a pair of adhesive wiggle eyes to the front. For the lovebug’s wings and antennae, cut two hearts from a sheet of red foam and glue two Valentine conversation hearts to the ends of two 2-in. pipe cleaners bent in a curlicue shape. Glue pipe cleaners to the front of wings and affix to back of cup.

Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
When melting chocolate, make sure it is always uncovered. Covering the chocolate will allow steam to build up and allow water to drop into the chocolate causing it to seize and become grainy and thick instead of smooth and silky.
