I try to go the no-chocolate/no-candy Valentine’s Day treat route (with food sensitivities, food allergies, and sugar highs I opt on the side of safe!). I have 12 Valentine’s Day Non-Candy Treat Ideas which will make great Valentine’s Day Class Treats!

I do give sweets to my kids on Valentine’s Day (after school!)…I just think…if I was a teacher…I wouldn’t want 30 kids in my class in arms-reach to sugar while on school time.
Therefore, I’m pretty sure this is will be our après l’école Valentine’s Day sweet treat…sugar high on my time?…yes please!
My Easy Chocolate Trifle recipe. It is amazeballs 😉

Love all your ideas. A non candy treat is always appreciated. But I must say that trifle looks so yummy.

Trifle at home and serious stuff at school 😉

Great ideas! We tend to give our grandkids a tiny bit of chocolate with another non edible treat or a good book!
Parent Club says
Books are a great idea! We give a sweet treat and a non-food treat here.

Great ideas especially for exchanging at school!

I’m sending mini-play doh to pre-school – it’s a gift that keeps on giving 🙂

Thanks for the pointer! I really want one lol…for makeup. I’m kind of a nutbar.

hmrcarlson says
My little guy has a peanut allergy so we are always looking at alternative gifts than candy/treats. Thanks for the good ideas!
Parent Club says
My heart goes out to you! We recently had a play date with a child who has a nut allergy and we were really mindful about snacks…
amy lovell says
Great idea!
Rick F says
interesting.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
some good tips for non-candy treats. Though I must say there was never all this hype about sweets when I was a child nor when my own children were small. I know that my grandchildren don’t get many, it usually ends up with half of their Halloween collection being dumped so the bucket’s free for the next Halloween as it looms closer.
