Valentine’s Day is coming up and, even though many refer to it as the “holiday created by the card industries” it is a fun opportunity to celebrate ‘Love’ and ‘those we love’!
A treat is defined as an event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure. When it comes to a food, what makes it a treat is that you love it and that it isn’t something you would normally choose.
With this in mind, Valentine’s Day need not be devoid of sweets, treats indulgences and, of course chocolate.
