Sweethearts candies have become a Valentine's Day icon.  More than 8 billion candies are sold each year in the six weeks prior to February 14th.  The heart-shaped candies have been around for quite some time too. They were first produced in 1901, making them over a century old.

Naturally, sweethearts candies and ice cream make a sweet pair, so we decided to make our own Sweetheart Sundaes!  Here is how you too can make your sweetheart one:

What you'll need: 

Ice Cream 

Sweethearts Candies

Waffle Bowl

Whipped Topping
Optional: 

Brownie pieces 

Strawberry Sauce 

Instructions: 
Get some of you or your sweetheart's favorite ice cream and dish a couple scoops in a waffle bowl. Some of our favorite flavors to pair with sweetheart candies are:

Party Time

Udderly Vanilla

Next, layer your ice cream with some whipped topping and add the sweethearts with messages face up.  We recommend drizzling some Strawberry Sauce for extra flavor and Valentine's Day spirit.

You can also add other favorite toppings and if you want to go the extra mile, we love this recipe for Sweetheart Brownies from EasyBaked.  They would be great to use as a chocolate foundation for your sundae.
