Valentine’s Day is a special time to celebrate love of all different kinds. Whether it’s to celebrate romantic love, adoration of family members, appreciation for neighbors or the bond between best friends, Valentine’s Day is perfect for gifting a sweet treat that shows you care.

Fortunately, you don’t have to default to processed sugar overload to give something delicious for that special someone. Here are five awesome ideas for alternative treats guaranteed to brighten someone’s day and make them feel loved.

Warm drinks say: “You warm my heart.”

Invite someone to slow down, enjoy a “me moment” and sip something warm and delicious by gifting coffee or teas. You can create a cute gift basket by adding a special mug and beverage accompaniments such as lemon juice, agave syrup and creamer.

Rockit™ Apples say: “You’re the apple of my eye.”

Give him or her the newest and coolest apple around: Rockit™ Apples! This deliciously sweet, miniature-sized nutritious treat is a healthy way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Packed with the perfect amount of nutrients and crunch, these apples are ideal for gifting with the quintessential pop of red color ideal for Valentine’s Day. Check out these beauties on instagram.com/rockitappleusa.

Nuts and trail mixes say: “I’m nuts about you!”

If you’re nuts about them, why not give the crunchy munch snack they crave? Nuts! Whether it’s delicious whole almonds or a trail mix you know they’ll adore, this snack will stop hunger pangs and bring a smile on Valentine’s Day and beyond.

Dark chocolate says: “You’re the sweetest.”

Make a healthier candy selection by gifting a few bars of dark chocolate. Lower in calories than milk and white varieties, a few small squares of dark chocolate a day may have health benefits like reduced blood pressure and reduced risk of heart disease, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Popcorn says: “Just poppin’ in to say I care!”

Healthful whole grains make popcorn a tasty treat for valentines of all ages. Whether it’s a few different bags of popcorn to try or a popcorn gift basket including kernels and toppings, you’re sure to add a pop of love to your valentine’s work or school day.

Cooking a meal for your significant other is a wonderful way to say “I love you”. If you want to make a splash, planning is going to be your best friend. Taking the time to think through your menu and organize yourself will ensure a smooth meal come go-time. How to plan a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner is simple thanks to our tips and recipe suggestions below.

Decoration: set the mood

Valentine’s Day is the opportunity to make your loved one feel special, so set your table to match the occasion. Use your best table cloth, plates and cutlery. Fold cloth napkins into fancy shapes (it’s easy, we promise) to add to the sense of occasion. Make creative decorations and place cards like our dipped Valentine’s Day Rockit™ apples (pictured above). Oh, and don’t forget to dim the lights and add some candles!

Apéritif: start with drinks and nibbles 

Every romantic dinner should start with some drinks and bites to eat. Valentine’s Day is about spending time together, no need to rush. Cocktails, like our sparkling pear cocktail (pictured above) and cherry gin and tonic, are a classic and chic way to start your evening. Alternatively, mulled wine makes a wonderful cozy drink to kick off the festivities.

Bits and bites are perfect for showcasing your creativity and going beyond the everyday chips and dip. Our roasted honey and thyme pear crostini (pictured above), Bosc and blue cheese radicchio cupsand apple, walnut and blue cheese triangles are easy to make and will definitely impress your special someone.

Starter: choose soup or salad  

Soup is a great starter since it can be made ahead of time (you’ll be thankful on the day, believe us) and can be beautifully presented with garnishes. Our Butternut squash and pear soup (pictured above) uses spiced chickpeas to create a stunning presentation, while our apple and roasted parsnip soup is finished with a dramatic swirl and chopped herbs.

Salads are also an excellent choice because they look gorgeous and many components, including the vinaigrette, can be made ahead of time as well. They are lighter than soup; a good choice if you have rich dishes planned for the following courses. Our pear, fig and feta salad is as delicate as it is attractive and we love the superfood crunch salad and apple pear fennel salad.

Main: keep it colorful and simple

If you’re slaving over the stove you’re not spending time with your loved one, so pick a straight-forward and delicious recipe like our skillet pork chops with Brussels sprouts and apples (pictured above). Complement your chosen protein with colorful side dishes that are eye-catching and simple to make. Our stuffed acorn squash, vegetable skillet roast, roasted pears stuffed with quinoa, and scalloped sweet potato and apples are all fit for purpose.

Dessert: end with a bang 

Dessert should be the climax of your romantic meal. Pick a beautiful recipe to blow your partner away like our raw vanilla cheesecake with caramelized pears (pictured above), mini Rockit™ Tartes Tatin, poached iced tea pears, or cherry chocolate pavlova.

Alternatively, turn up the heat with a chocolate fondue like this apple and white chocolate number!
