And speaking of candy heart pops, yet another one of mine to share (I swear this isn’t turning into only me, I just have an incredible busy and productive month. I promise to slack off in a big way come March. Maybe April.) I made these kid-friendly candy pops for Valentine’s Day–and they really are kid-friendly since my four-year old made hers all by herself, the blobs and squiggles I mean–for Red Tricyle.
