With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, doesn’t it feel like every day is a non-stop parade of cheesy advertisements, all-red everything and lame heart-shaped candies? If you’re like me and getting sick of all the Valentine’s clichés, I’ve got good news: today I’m here to share 5 epic Valentine’s Day treats that will will put all those red roses and chocolates to shame. Check out this list of Valentine’s goodies that are just as awesome as they are weird:
Doritos ketchup chip roses
If roses feel a bit old-fashioned, give your Valentine’s game a snacktacular boost with these incredible Doritos bouquets! Recently launched for a limited time in Canada, the roses get their red hue from ketchup flavouring (a Canadian favourite).
Unfortunately, these limited edition roses are already sold out. BUT, not all hope is lost… You can create your own through this handy DIY tutorial here.
Perfume candy that makes you smell better
If spritzing on perfume isn’t your thing, why not eat your way to smelling better? No joke, these Deo Perfume candies come from Bulgaria, and boldly claim to make you smell like roses just by ingesting them.
What’s even crazier is that according to Amazon reviews, this stuff tastes great and actually works.
An anatomically correct gummy heart
Created by David Klein (the founder of Jelly Belly), this giant gummy weighs 2.5 pounds and actually oozes candy blood. While this particular one is no longer for sale, you can grab a chocolate version here.
A chocolate bar filled with rose petals
Why throw rose petals over a bed when you can eat them instead? Milk chocolate and real rose petals combine to form this dreamy candy bar from Wickedly Welsh… a romantic addition to any Valentine’s gift.
Special tablets that make sour foods sweet
For the best date night ever, stock up on these insanely cool tablets which apparently make bitter, sour and acidic foods taste sweet. According to their website, “Lemons become sweet lemonade, vinegar takes on the flavor of apple juice, and strawberries magically transform into powdered sugar”. Sounds like sorcery to me, but hey it’s worth a try, right? You can get them from Amazon.
Which one of these are you most keen to try? Let us know in the comments… and Happy Valentine’s Day!
