Ahhh...conversation hearts. For most of us, they evoke warm childhood memories of a candy that may not necessarily taste very good, but makes up for it with it's pretty pastel colors and fun sayings. Valentine's Day just isn't complete in my house until we break open at least one box of this classic candy. And over the years, we have come up with quite a few interesting uses for these little guys other than just nibbling on them. Here are some of my favorite ways to use conversation hearts:

1. To play Valentine's Day Bingo. For the printable bingo cards, click here.  


2. As inspiration or decoration for baked goods. To see more ideas, click here.

3. As topiary. For tutorial, click here.

4. As jewelry. To view the bracelet click here.

5. As a math worksheet for the kids. For the printable, click here.

6. To make a picture frame magnet. See the project here.

7. As a wreath for your door. For the tutorial, click here.

8. As a cute little gift. To see how to put it together, click here.

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that the link to the "Easy Valentine's Day Sandwich Cookies" no longer works. It appears the owner of the blog has made it invitation only. Therefore, I have switched out that recipe for a nearly identical one, now labeled as "Homemade Heart Sandwich Cookies" below. I apologize for the inconvenience!


Before we officially kick off the next holiday, Valentine's Day, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make this Christmas season so awesome. Thanks to all of you, we gathered so many fantastic ideas both in our posts and comments- so keep em' coming!

And now, onto the yummy stuff. Once again, I have taken all the searching and hard work out of your Valentine's day recipe planning by compiling a list of all my favorite sweet (and love-themed) treats. Enjoy!
