Candy Recipes for valentines day?

I want to make my own candy this year for valentines day. Anyone have any good recipes? Maybe some truffle recipes.

here

Raspberry Truffles are a smooth, bite-sized candy with a cream cheese base and a delicious raspberry flavor. You can modify the recipe by rolling the balls in cocoa, powdered sugar, toasted coconut, or any nuts of your choice. I would not recommend dipping them in chocolate, however, as the filling remains too soft for dipping.
Prep Time: 1 hours, 15 minutes
Ingredients:

* 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
* 6 ounces melted white chocolate
* 3/4 cup vanilla wafer cookie crumbs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
* 3-4 drops red food coloring (optional)
* 1/2 cup crushed almonds

Preparation:

1. Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place the cream cheese in a mixer bowl and beat on medium-high until smooth and creamy. Add the melted white chocolate and beat until smooth.

3. Stir in the cookie crumbs, raspberry preserves, vanilla, and food coloring. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.

4. Shape the mixture into small balls. Finish by rolling in chopped nuts. Store in an airtight refrigerated container.

Help with a Valentine’s school rally?

I have our school Renaissance (program to reward academics) rally all planned out (prizes, decorations, location, etc.), but what I need help with is the games. The rally is a Valentine’s themed rally, so, if you could, please give me some ideas for fun games for high school students to play and watch that involve at least 4 people. Thanks!

Maybe like a ring toss game, with heart-shaped rings. Or, have people draw hearts, or their girl/boyfriends blindfolded, then have people vote on which one’s the best. Maybe even a baking contest, and have something like cherries or sweethearts as a requirement for each entry.

Purple or red roses for valentines day?

I have knowen my girlfriend for about 3 years, and have dated for almost 5 months. we say we loved each other at first sight, which makes me wanna get her purple (lavender) roses for valentines day. But I know the red ones are tradition for saying "I love you". So what do you all personally think? what would you girls rather have?

I skipped the roses all-together and bought dried lavender products – oil and soap at a Michigan lavender farm – Leelanau Lavender Breezes

What are some ideas for valentines day surprise for a man?

I want to do something for my husband since this is our first married valentines day. We just found out that I am pregnant this will be also our last one alone. I don’t know what men like though things I like are really girly! Any ideas for something a man would like? His interests are movies.

For my husband i booked a room at a ski lodge and decorated it with stuff for valentines day stuff. Put a nightie on the bed for him to look forward to me wearing and lit the fireplace. We had a romantic dinner in the main house and then we went to the bar and he had a drink i could not because i was expecting and we played pool. Then we set in the outside hot tube. Then we went to our room for the night.

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

It’s that time of year again.  A time of hearts and roses and chocolates, it’s Valentine’s Day.

Still trying to think of some ideas to make the day special?  Here are some quick and simple ideas for Valentine’s Day.

What woman doesn’t like roses.  Red Valentine  Roses are a classic and can fit into any budget.  You can go with a lovely bouquet of two dozen or a single long stem rose can say it all.  If you are a procrastinator you can always have them delivered last minute with same day delivery.

Another classic Valentine sentiment is chocolates.  You can send a surprise chocogram.  There are many types of chocolates to fit any budget and taste.  There is even organic chocolate for the environmentally and health minded chocolate lover you know.

Guys like presents too. How about a gift basket that goes with his favorite pastime like a golf themed goody basket.

Or maybe a sports jersey with his favorite team and player.

There is no better way to set the mood for a romantic evening than with a well planned dinner with appetizers and a delicious dessert.  Here’s an edible idea that can take the place of dessert, a chocolate tattoo kit.

Love Cookie Cutters

You can make Valentine cookies with your kids for a fun treat.  Or read them a Valentine story book.

However you spend Valentine’s Day.  Enjoy yourself and those you love.

Crafty ideas for kids / husband for Valentine’s Day?

My mom often made me things (she was a whiz at crafts) for holidays. They always meant so much more than the store bought presents. I thought my children and husband may like something like that, as well. I know a few ideas, but would like to hear yours. Any ideas??? ( My children are twin girls age 5, and a boy that’s 13…if that helps.)
