These adorable Valentine’s Day desserts are easy to make and require very few ingredients.  Yet, they have many different flavors and textures. Best of all, they are super cute and colorful.

Kids of all ages are going to love these and you’ll love looking like a rock star for creating such an awesome Valentine’s Day treat. Even if your kids give you a short notice, you can get these made and ready to go in no time at all.

Ingredients

Candy arrow ingredients: pink candy melts, pretzel sticks, rainbow candy, and heart candy.
  • Pretzel Sticks
  • Airheads Rainbow Berry Candy
  • Gummy Heart Candy
  • Pink Chocolate Melts

Now, let’s make Cupid’s Arrows:

Rainbow candy being cut into the shape of feather at end of arrow.

First, cut the sour belts into 1 inch pieces. Then, cut out a small triangle on one end and cut the other end to a point. Cut little slits in-between to create the arrow’s “feathers”.

Pretzel sticks and melted pink candy.

Place pink chocolate melts in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave in 10 second increments, stirring in-between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Next, dip each pretzel into the pink chocolate. Get a nice even coat, then lay it on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Heart candies added to head of arrows.

Place a gummy heart on one end of the pretzel and the rainbow tail on the other end.

Completed candy arrows on lined baking sheet, some with pink sanding sugar sprinkled onto body of arrow and some without.

If you would like, you can add pink sprinkles to a few of the pretzels (this step is entirely optional).
Finally, just let your cute little arrows dry for about 10 minutes, then enjoy!

Have a very happy Valentine’s Day!
