Valentine’s Candy Hearts Made With Real Heart

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and you’ll soon need to present heart-shaped items to your significant-other. To help make this Valentine’s Day one to remember, stop messing around, and take the concept of heart-shaped items literally.

This year, Candy Hearts Made With Real Heart will help express your love… and possible mental issues. The cardiac confections are candy and chocolate-covered jerky made from actual cow heart.

And, before you say “ewww” and “gross,” take a moment to think about the $22 box of chocolates you gave your sweetheart last year. Chocolates that were filled with a mystery goo, one that was obviously toothpaste, and a coconut spackle. DIY some real hearts with help here… and good luck, lover.

Red Velvet Oreos Exist

A few months ago, we were teased with the possibility that Red Velvet Oreos were becoming a reality. However, the grainy camera-phone photos and stories of shenanigans quickly squelched the rumors.

Now, the bigfoot of sandwich cookies is a reality. The limited edition Oreos will arrive on Feb. 2 — just in time to help saturate your food aisles even further with Red Dye #40-influenced foodstuffs for Valentine’s Day.

People was nice enough to offer a taste test of the cookies… So you can decide whether the red Oreos will enhance, or completely destroy, the one day of the year you get to express love.

The Conversation Heart Piñata Cake

Poor conversation hearts… So iconic, yet so inedible. However, if you stuff a bunch of them inside a giant version made of cake — suddenly they’re pretty awesome.

Brought to us by Beth Jackson from Hungry Happenings, the Conversation Heart Piñata Cake is a giant request to “Be Mine.” And, it’s filled with little hearts that’ll help keep the conversation going all night long. Amirite?

An Edible Valentine’s Day Card

Valentine’s Day approaches, and it’s time to express your love by sending your valentine a card. But you’d also like to send them some chocolate or other yummy treat. Well, times are tough, and skimping on Hallmark holidays is a great first step to financial recovery.

Enter the Edible Valentine’s Card. Brought to us by artist Emily Evans, the “Eternal Love” card could also be written on with the included edible ink pen. Although there’s no mention of what flavor the card actually is — it’s made from potato starch, vegetable oil, and water. Hey, if it’s meant to be, your lover won’t mind a flavorless Valentine’s Card.
