I'm Nut's About You Valentine #NationalSnackFoodMonth

Chocolate and Nut Hearts topped with Sprinkles are sure to make your Valentine's Heart beat with Love.

It is National Snack Food Month........

It is also Valentine's Day Month so I decided to share this chocolate nutty heart that you can share with your sweetheart (s).....In my case, I wrapped them up and shared them with my Angel Face and Teen who then shared them with their sweethearts.  Mama and Daddy for the Angel Face and a couple of friends for the Teen.

Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories is hosting our Foodie Extravaganza today and asked us to help her celebrate National Snack Food Month.  This is a great month for Snack Foods.  Between Valentine's Day, Super Bowl and Chinese New Year there is no lack of inspiration.

 

Let's see what everyone is snacking on........

• Beetroot Hummus from Magical Ingredients
• Bread Pizza Margarita from Sneha's Recipe
• Hot Corn Dip with Bratwurst from Palatable Pastime
• Nutty Chocolate Hearts from A Day in the Life in the Farm
• Spicy Spanish Olives from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Super Fudgy Brownies from Food Lust People Love

I used a mixed nut blend that is touted as being "heart healthy" in keeping with the Heart theme and Valentine's Day.  We recently had a Graduation Party for the Teen.  It started at with an Appetizer Buffet that included these nuts and ended with a Dessert Buffet featuring a Chocolate Fountain.  I had leftovers of both the nuts and chocolate and this was a great opportunity to use some of it up.  

I did have 2 of these molds but the Teen and her friends used one of them to make candles or bath bombs or something and, of course, I never saw it again.

 

Then I had leftovers of my leftovers so I put them on some parchment and made Valentine's Nut Clusters that I shared with my other sweetheart, Frank.

This is a fun and easy snack to make.  Wrap them up in plastic with a ribbon and a name tag and they make adorable table setting markers for your Valentine Dinner Party.
