When I saw this recipe over on
Fit Bottomed Eats, I knew I had to share it over here as well for
Valentine's Day. It's one of those ideas that's the perfect storm of healthy, delicious, fun and festive. Plus, it's not too labor-intensive, and I imagine kiddos would have a lot of fun helping with the decorative elements, not to mention polishing off these yummy treats!

Tips
- Remove the hulls of the strawberries after rinsing to avoid water-logged berries.
- If you don't have a melon-baller or strawberry huller, a small paring knife will do the trick.
- Try substituting Yoplait Greek coconut yogurt for the tangerine. Top each berry with toasted coconut.
Isn't that just a fun treat? Do you make anything special to celebrate Valentine's Day with your kids? ---Erin
