Soft cookies cut into heart shapes. They are decorated with pink, red, and white icing. They feel festive and are easy to customize with friendship messages.

• Pair with coffee or tea.

Pro Tip: Bake the cookies a day ahead and store them plain. Decorate them just a few hours before the party for the best look.

2. Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Fresh strawberries dipped in milk, dark, or white chocolate. Finish them with pink drizzle or fun sprinkles. This classic treat looks elegant and is easy to prepare early.

• Use white chocolate for pink dye.
• Chill them right after dipping.
• Serve on ice to keep them fresh.

Pro Tip: Use high-quality melting chocolate. Make sure the strawberries are totally dry before dipping so the chocolate sticks perfectly.

3. Pink Mini Cupcakes

Small vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate cupcakes. They are topped with pastel or bright pink frosting. Mini sizes let guests try lots of flavors without feeling too full.

• Offer a variety of pink shades.
• Use edible glitter on the frosting.
• Place them in decorative wrappers.

Pro Tip: If you are making them yourself, cool the cupcakes completely before frosting. This stops the frosting from melting or sliding off.

4. Conversation Heart Bark

A flat chocolate bark made by melting chocolate. It is topped with conversation heart candies and sprinkles. Break it into pieces for an easy, shareable dessert.

• Use both milk and white chocolate.
• Break into uneven, rustic pieces.
• Serve in a glass bowl.

Pro Tip: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper first. This makes it super easy to lift the bark out and break it cleanly.

5. Pink Macaron Assortment

French macarons in shades of pink. They can be filled with raspberry, rose, or vanilla flavor. These add a chic, fancy touch to your dessert table display.

• Arrange them by color shade.
• Serve at room temperature.

Pro Tip: Macarons look best when served on a pedestal stand. Keep them refrigerated until about 30 minutes before your guests arrive.

6. Heart Rice Krispie Treats

Classic Rice Krispie treats cut into heart shapes. Dip them in pink or white chocolate. These are fun, affordable, and easy to make in big batches.

• Use food coloring for pink dip.
• Add a stick to make them pops.
• Wrap individually in clear bags.

Pro Tip: Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure clean cuts. Use a metal cookie cutter lightly coated in cooking spray.

7. Brownie Bites with Drizzle

Fudgy brownies cut into small squares or hearts. Top them with a strawberry or raspberry drizzle. This rich treat balances the sweetness of other desserts.

• Use fresh berries for garnish.

Pro Tip: To get perfect squares, chill the brownies completely before cutting. Use a sharp knife wiped clean between each slice.

9. Donut Hole Skewers

Wooden skewers stacked with donut holes, strawberries, and marshmallows. This is a playful, grab-and-go dessert idea.

• Use powdered sugar donut holes.
• Alternate colors on the skewer.
• Serve standing upright in a vase.
