Gluten-Free Valentine's Day Ideas from Pamela's Products

Valentine's Day, the most amorous day of the year, is just around the corner. No matter who we spend it with, everyone agrees that the day should be filled with decadent treats and delicious food that say 'I love you' or I appreciate you. Instead of a box of chocolates, you could do something more personal, like baking something over-the-top for your sweetheart? But what if you or your sweetie is Celiac or simply chooses to eat a gluten-free diet?

Pamela's Products was created 21 years ago on the idea that no one has to be left out of the celebration and that gluten-free can taste as good as OR BETTER than the wheat alternative. Featuring an award-winning line of GLUTEN-FREE and delectable ready-made desserts and baking mixes, Pamela's Products is perfect for sharing with all our loved ones.

For the chocolate lover in your life, we suggest wowing them with a moist delicious and flavorful frosted Cake, Brownies or Chocolate-chip cookies (all available and easy mixes).

OR if chocolate is not the flavor of choice for you or your loved one, Pamela's Products offers Vanilla cake mixes, shortbreads and biscotti that are sure to tantalize and satisfy anyone's sweet tooth without excluding those that adhere to a gluten-free diet. Fun for Valentine's Day, the moist and fluffy cake and cookie mixes can be easily cut into heart-shaped baked treats. Red or Pink natural food coloring can be added to frosting mixes to make your dessert fun and festive.

The versatility of the mixes allows for the more adventurous cook to use them as their launching pad for a more elaborate and uniquely individual dish.
