How to Make Valentine Gum Drops
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching! That means it’s time to show some love and appreciation to our valentines. Sweet treats are a great way to show some appreciation, but I happen to think homemade treats are extra special!
Today I want to show you how fun and easy these gum drops are to make. Get the kids involved with cutting out the shapes too. This set of heart shaped cookie cutters has a variety of sizes to choose from, but any small shaped cookie cutter will work!
