3 sweet treats to give on Valentine's Day to non-chocolate lovers

Valentine's Day isn't exactly geared towards non-chocolate lovers. What's more, some people simply can't eat chocolate for health reasons. However, there are lots of sweet edible alternatives that are just as festive and delicious. Here are 3 of them.

One of the classiest and most delicious gifts to give your sweetheart this Valentine's Day is strawberries and champagne. Simply get fresh, ripe, red strawberries and pair them with a glass of a dry, crisp champagne.

• While many people like serving chocolate-covered strawberries, consider serving your non-chocolate lover yogurt-covered strawberries, instead. The rich creaminess pairs well with the tartness of champagne.

This Valentine's Day, consider giving a homemade treat as a gift. One delicious non-chocolate baked good for the holiday is a heart-glazed cookie.

• Simply make traditional sugar cookie dough batter. Then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to trace the outline of a heart into the cookies.
• Once the cookie has baked, top the heart with a pink glaze icing, which can be handmade with confectioners sugar, vanilla, water and food colouring.
• Allow the cookies to dry, and you'll have a bright and shining heart-shaped treat to share.

Rather than give a box of chocolate or bouquet of flowers, why not give your loved one a bouquet he or she can eat?

• Companies create beautiful and intricate bouquets made out of fresh fruit, in which they can include small gifts like teddy bears and balloons.
• Make sure to tell the company not to include any chocolate, and you'll have a gift for your Valentine that's delicious and nutritious.
