Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just a few days away and while it’s a holiday frequently defined by roses, chocolate, and expressions of love and friendship, Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romance. Valentine’s Day is also for snack lovers as well, with this time of year one for all sorts of pink and heart-themed treats as well as clever snacks and food offerings for those who perhaps aren’t having the most loveable time.

Ahead of Valentine’s Day, we’ve put together a round up of some of the tasty treats and deals available in time for the holiday of love. There’s a little something for everyone — including those that Cupid’s arrow missed. Read on for some of the holiday and seasonal treats, sweets, and deals that you can check out for Valentine’s Day (and remember, it’s okay to be your own Valentine, too!)
Halo Top Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ice Cream
Chocolate covered strawberries are an iconic Valentine’s Day treat and everyone loves ice cream so why not put them together — but without the guilt? For Valentine’s Day, Halo Top has snack lovers covered with their new Halo Top Chocolate Covered Strawberry ice cream. A whole pint contains just 330 calories which means that while you can share with your Valentine… you can also keep it all to yourself. The new ice cream is available now at Walmart.
P.F. Chang’s DUMPlings
While Valentine’s Day is a holiday about love and romance, it isn’t always a great day for everyone. In fact, per Bumble, 19 percent of people find themselves dealing with a breakup around Valentine’s Day. That can certainly make the holiday a bit awkward, but P.F. Chang’s has come up with a way to counter heartbreak this year: DUMPlings. All folks have to do is text CHANGSDUMPLINGS to 1-855-697-6181 and share their breakup story or a screenshot and they’ll get a free, six-count shrimp or pork dumplings in restaurant or via delivery. You can check out more information here.
“At P.F. Chang’s, we believe in embracing every chapter of our guests’ lives, even the ones marked by heartbreak,” says Elisa Cordova, Director of Brand Marketing, from P.F. Chang’s. “Our DUMPlings program is more than just a promotion; it’s a testament to our commitment to surprising and delighting our guests who aren’t feeling the love this season. We wanted to launch a fun, light-hearted program that reminds those finding themselves single, during a month that shines a spotlight on couples, that breakups may suck, but at least our dumplings don’t.”
Jet-Puffed Heart Shaped Strawberry Marshmallows
What’s more Valentine’s Day than hearts and strawberries? They’re two iconic aspects of Valentine’s Day treats and now, Jet-Puffed has brought them together in marshmallow form.
