How To Create Valentine's Day Treats For Kids

 

Lavender Honey Hearts

Create a twist on a classic peanut butter and honey sandwich.  Cut sliced bread of choice into heart shapes using an open metal cookie cutter or sharp knife.  Spread one side each of heart cutout with peanut (or other nut) butter and Organic Lavender Honey and press together.  Add a dollop of strawberry jam for an extra delectable sandwich.  Infused with our organically certified lavender flower buds, this wonderful certified organic wildflower honey from Brazil is also delicious on toast and scones.

Chocolate Lavender Dipped Strawberries

If a light dessert or snack is desired, try dipping strawberries in Lavender Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce.  Our delicious chocolate sauce is produced in small batches with European-style (Dutch Process) cocoa powder.  Dutch Process cocoa produces a mellower flavor and darker color than other processed cocoa powders.  It is also vegan and dairy free!

For a truly decadent dessert, assemble an ice cream sundae with ingredients of your choosing and top with a generous spoonful of Lavender Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce and a cherry.  Strawberry sorbet or cherry ice cream are particularly luscious with our Lavender Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce.

A Warm Chocolate Hug For The Tummy

If Valentine's Day is particularly chilly outside, serve Lavender Gourmet Hot Chocolate with a sweet, colorful twist.  Our hot chocolate mix is yet another of our growing line of carefully blended lavender-flavored chocolate offerings based on the best of Guittard chocolate bases.  Includes miniature marshmallows.  After preparing Lavender Hot Chocolate, add a dusting of heart shaped sprinkles to each mug.


In preparation for a peaceful Valentine's Day night...

 

A Lavender Bubble Bath Adventure

What child of any age doesn’t love a bath brimming with bubbles?  Add a generous amount of our Lavender Bubble Bath to warm running water for mountains of fluffy suds.  Our wonderfully aromatic Lavender Bubble Bath brings together all the benefits of a broad spectrum of natural plant oils to cleanse and nourish the skin, as well as the soothing, relaxing and fragrant qualities of lavender.

A Lavender Kiss Before Bed

To promote restful slumber and heal and re-hydrate chapped skin, at bed time or as needed, coat rosy cheeks with a generous application of our Lavender Treatment Stick.  Since the time of St. Valentine of Rome in the 3rd century, lavender essential oil has been known as an effective calming and sleep inducing medium.  Formulated in a protective base of beeswax and soothing plant oils for hydration, use of our Lavender Treatment Stick is sure to inspire sweet dreams.  So versatile and easy to use, even little hands can manage.

Now that the kiddos are in bed, you parents might enjoy a little romantic Valentine's Day date of your own.
