getting ready for a dye free Valentine's Day

It just hit me that another "red holiday" is right around the corner. My friends and I have found lots of strategies that help so I thought I would share them ahead of time, in case you need to order stuff.

Here are some candy options I've come across:

If you want to bake for Valentine's day, I have not ordered these, but the pictures looked so good, I'm really tempted

There are also options on Amazon:
Yummy Earth
India Tree

Here is last year's post about what I made:

One of our favorites continues to be Darrell Lea's Australian Licorice from Target--great tasting dye free red licorice. I couldn't find it on Target's web, but they actually have different colors (green and yellow) at amazon. I might order that with a friend some time since you need to get large quantities:

Happy party planning!
