Some might argue that nothing says "sweetie" like a box of candy sweethearts come February 14th, but we have to say, we disagree. Instead of gifting your loved one with a box of store bought candy, give that special someone a box of candy you've made yourself!

After all, what could be sweeter than to make your loved one homemade candy on Valentine's Day? Making candy at home for Valentine's Day is the perfect way to express love for your Valentine, and you can add that special ingredient missing in the store-bought box - love.

Don't be intimidated if you've never made candy before. Some of these recipes are very easy and only require microwave cooking, or rather melting, while others employ traditional candy-making methods. So whether you're a wiz in the kitchen or a wiz at passing off storebought for homemade (which is a pretty handy skill) , there's a DIY for every level of skil!

The best part is that they are in holiday colors such as Pink Pecan Fudge, Red Velvet Rocky Road, or Scarlet Toffee perfect for Valentine's Day! Follow our easy-to-follow candy recipes for Valentine's Day.
