Homemade Valentine's Day treats are just one reason we love this holiday so much - it seems like the official day of love is chock full of so much baking inspiration!

We've gotten creative in the kitchen ourselves and whipped up a few homemade Valentine's Day treats we bet you'll want to try, too. They're all pretty easy to make and no matter which homemade Valentine's Day treat you choose for this year's celebration, it's guaranteed to be a hit with your special someone!

Valentine's Day might not mean hot temps where you are, but would you really say no to a homemade ice cream sandwich? These heart-shaped desserts are creamy, light and sweet, which means they're a homemade Valentine's Day treat anyone can love!

If you're on board with the homemade Valentine's Day treats that incorporate ice cream but just need to get some of those classic conversation hearts in there somewhere, this DIY edible bowl is the perfect way to enjoy your sweet something.

Speaking of conversation hearts, there are a few simple homemade Valentine's Day treats you can make placing them front and center. Chocolate dipped marshmallows are easy to customize for any occasion and make for a crowd pleasing Valentine's Day treat.

These next homemade Valentine's Day treats were made with the adults in mind, but you can skip the booze if you prefer something more kid-friendly. Soaked in Amaretto and dipped in white chocolate, these sweet cherries are a romantic bite to enjoy with your Valentine.

Cupcakes are probably one of the more popular homemade Valentine's Day treats of choice around these parts. For a simple, yet sweet cupcake idea that's special enough for the occasion without demanding a ton of added work, opt for a chocolate heart topped treat.

Another easy cupcake idea? Simply bake up a batch of your favorite cupcakes (we like a simple chocolate fudge) and cut a heart shape from the center, then fill with pink frosting. A dusting of powdered sugar and a sprinkle of edible glitter finish this homemade Valentine's Day treat off!

If you've got kids in the kitchen, consider whipping up these homemade Valentine's Day treats. You can use store brought sugar cookie dough or turn to your favorite homemade recipe - just make sure you dip half your heart cookie into some yummy red frosting or chocolate melt!

Even the non-baker can get crafty with homemade Valentine's Day treats. Instead of turning on the oven to use your cupcake wrappers, just pop a lollipop into a few to create festive flowers for an edible bouquet.

Don't settle for regular old brownies! We rolled ours into little decadent balls with frosting, then sprinkled with sugar and topped off with a conversation heart for a really sweet homemade Valentine's Day treat!

For a less intense sugar rush, consider a homemade Valentine's Day treat made from fruit. Made to resemble Cupid's arrows, these treats are definitely a fun way to celebrate the holiday of love.

Layer your favorite cake, jam and whipped cream into a plastic push pop holder and you've got a seriously cute homemade Valentine's Day treat no one can resist.

What do you get when you sandwich marshmallow creme between two cookies topped with frosting and sprinkled with colorful sprinkles and candy? A kid's ultimate homemade Valentine's Day treat.
