Valentine’s day is only a month away so I’m starting to think of little ways to add touches of love throughout this month. These pretzel Valentine hearts are so cute and really easy to make. But before we get into the instructions on how to make these cute pretzel Valentine treats, let’s talk a bit about pretzels and Valentine’s day.

During winter break, I was trying to think of unique things to do with my kids. I feel very blessed Los Angeles has so many fun things to do. During the break, we went to Dodger Stadium to visit Santa, went sledding on the sand in Hermosa Beach, and checked out some of the fabulous Christmas lights around the city.

Are you looking for a really simple holiday dessert that’s as cute as it is tasty? Then you need to make these Santa hat brownies. Seriously, it doesn’t get easier than this.

I actually shared this recipe on KTLA the other day, and everyone, including the hosts and crew, loved these brownie Santa hats.

It’s holiday entertaining time, so I wanted to try some new cocktail recipes. Next Monday, I will be on KTLA sharing some of my favorite holiday drinks, appetizers, and dessert recipes. (In case you missed my other KTLA appearances 1; 2). One of the recipes I’m going to share is this cranberry and pomegranate margarita.

How cute are these pretzel Rolo reindeer? They are super simple to make and only take four ingredients. You’ll need red M&M’s, candy eyes, mini pretzels, and Rolos. If you can’t find the red and green M&Ms you could use a regular bag of M&Ms and use the red and brown M&Ms so only some of the Rolo pretzel reindeer look like Rudolph.
