Valentines Day Early Treats.

Valentine’s Day is a really fun holiday, but it’s also full of sweets.
It’s not like I end up eating VDay candy for one day…I end up eating it for the entire week.
Valentine’s Day and candy go hand-in-hand. You get some as gifts and then you also give sweets out. And, don’t even lie, you end up saving some for yourself.
I’ve gathered up some guilt-free sweets for you and your sweetie to indulge in on Valentine’s Day (or any other day):
1.Goody Good Stuff-These have become my faaaavorite gummy candies. Goody Good Stuff offers vegan and vegetarian options. They’re made of natural fruit and vegetable extracts.Goody Good Stuff candies contain NO meat, dairy, alcohol, gluten, eggs, nuts, soy, and gealtine…so they’re perf for those with those types of dietary restrictions.Flavors: Tropical Fruit, Stawberry Cream, Sour Mix & Match, Sour Fruit Salad, Summer Peaches, Koala Gummy Bears, Cola Breeze, and Cheery Cherries.I’ve tried them all and can’t decide which is my fav. Yes, they’re that good.Goody Good Stuff will soon be available at Walgreens, CVS, and Target. For now, you can get these online at Amazon.
2.Smackaroons and Red Fox Gourmet-Both Smackaroons and Red Fox Gourmet are local to Philadelphia. This Valentine’s Day, the two brands paired an irresistible sweet and savory gift box – Coconut Delights dipped in dark chocolate with Cayenne Caramel Popcorn (you already know how I feel about cayenne).Smackaroons are dairy free and preservative free coconut macaroons.Red Fox Gourmet Snacks have no artificial ingredients or additives.You can order this gift box online here.
3. Kiss Mix-Kiss Mix cocktails come in a chic little black can. These lightly carbonated, spirit based premium cocktails come in five flavors, all under 100 calories.Flavors: margarita (90 calories), cosmopolitan (89 calories), lemon drop (78 calories), screwdriver (79 calories), and gin & tonic (73 calories).
4. Dosha Pops -Dosha Pops are handmade gourmet lollipops based on the holistic principles of Ayurveda, which is known as the sister of yoga (hello balance!). Peggy, founder of Dosha Pops, believes candy doesn’t have to be a guilty pleasure, but can be a healthy indulgence.The flavors have super cute names, such as Chai Me Up, Mytea Pomegranate, Head Over Hibiscus, and Wishful Pinking!
5. Good Earth Tea – Sweetly Twisted-Good Earth is a brand with fabulous tea fusions, that come in a variety of herbs, botanicals, and flavors. Sweetly Twisted is perf for Valentine’s Day afternoon tea. It’s also red, so it goes with the whole VDay theme.

I love brands that have a little quirkiness. Each Good Earth tea bag has a quote. That little touch of personality is just adorable. I’m always super excited to see what quote I’ll get. It’s like a mini surprise each time you tear open the tea package.
