Offering an unconventional approach to romantic desserts are these matchstick Valentine's Day biscuits that creatively transform the fire starters into edible sugar treats. The desserts are playful in design and also offer a romantic play on the notion of sparks flying between two lovers.
These cookies featured on the Etsy blog offer a fun and whimsical alternative to heart-shaped biscuits that are a standard shape seen in abundance during the month of February. The cookies are made from a vanilla sugar dough that is cut into thin sticks and dipped in red candy to create the spark tip. The cookies can then be packaged in personalized matchboxes and given to someone that light's the baker's fire passionately and romantically on the special day.
