Growing up, Valentine’s Day meant one thing – candy! A heart shaped box full of chocolates from our parents and “conversation” hearts passed among friends. Hello, white sugar and preservatives…
Its been a long time since we’ve been on the receiving end of one of those boxes. As you can imagine, the ingredients used are not what we put in our bodies today.
So, to keep in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we’ve crafted the most delicious gluten and grain free candies made with local organic maple syrup. No preservatives, no dyes or colors, no refined sugar and no GMOs! Just 100% pure goodness anyone would love ♥

Use your favorite nuts! Almonds, cashews, walnuts or pecans – or a combination will certainly work in place of the hazelnuts.
Keep these indulgent treats in the fridge or freezer. No worries – they need no thaw time 🙂
