There are so many symbols of Valentine's Day, but nothing better represents the love at the center of the holiday than hearts! (It's no surprise that conversation hearts have remained a popular edible Valentine's Day gift for all these years.) Of course, there are so many other heart-shaped foods that are just as sweet. If the way to win someone's heart is through their stomach, then whipping up these adorable heart-shaped treats for Valentine's Day must be a shortcut!

Heart-shaped food ideas are the cutest, most thoughtful gift you can give someone because they're made at home with love.

You can't lose with Ree Drummond's famous chocolate valentine cookies that spell out the words "love you" or cookies made to look like conversation hearts candy. You can also cook up a cute brunch for your friends with heart-shaped eggs and toast—or even pancakes! Just don't forget your heart-shaped waffle maker!

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even Valentine's Day snacks—no matter which mealtime you choose, sharing a heart-shaped treat is just the thing you need on a romantic date. Just set the table with a few Valentine's Day decorations to really get festive! So browse our ideas for inspiration and say "I love you" in a new way.
