Supplies Needed To Make Valentine's Day Treat Box

Step 1: Cut Box Design
Use the Cricut to cut the pieces for the box. You will have two hearts as well as the box shape. The fold lines on the box will be scored.
Step 2: Assemble Box
Just fold along those lines and use a tape runner on the corners. Add the hearts to the front and back with the tape runner to complete your treat box.
Step 3: Fill The Box With Snacks
Then fill the box with your Valentine's Day snacks for after school, or add them to individual zip-topped bags for fun treat bags. Either way, these are sure to be a hit with all the kids at school!
I personally love any combo of salty and sweet, so these homemade pretzels with M&Ms were perfect for this Valentine's Day treat box. What about you? Do you like a salty and sweet treat combo?
